Dublin is a compact, walkable capital brimming with literary heritage, lively pubs, and warm Irish hospitality. From the medieval treasures of Trinity College to the buzzing food scene of the Creative Quarter, Dublin punches well above its weight as a European city break.
Dublin's Temple Bar area was nearly demolished for a bus station in the 1980s, but squatters and artists turned it into the cultural quarter it is today.
