More Dublin Photos

Dublin is a charming city with welcoming people and a laid back culture. It's also a young city – approximately half of the one and a half million people that live in greater Dublin are under 25. This figure is constantly growing with many of the countryside's younger generation moving to the capital.

Dublin originally began as a Viking trading post called Dubh Linn (Dark Pool), which soon amalgamated with a Celtic settlement called Baile Átha Cliath (Town of the Hurdle Ford) – still the Gaelic name for the city. As most of the early city was built of wood, only the two cathedrals, part of the castle and several churches have survived from before the seventeenth century. The fabric of the city dates essentially from the Georgian period, when the Anglo-Irish gentry began to invest their income in new town houses.

Today Dublin is the political, economic and industrial capital of Ireland. It is the Emerald Isle’s largest city but one that you only need a couple of days to appreciate. It's the collision of the old, charming Dublin with the new, stylish Dublin that makes it the energetic, cosmopolitan city it is today.
