## Key facts

- **Region:** Leinster
- **County:** Dublin
- **Province:** Leinster

## Details

**Dublin** is where most journeys to Ireland begin. A compact, walkable city of Georgian squares and cobble laneways, it wears a thousand years of history lightly — from the Viking longphort at Wood Quay to the Book of Kells at Trinity College.

### What to do

Trace the city’s literary ghosts at the Dublin Writers Museum, raise a glass in the Liberties, or wander St Stephen’s Green. The Guinness Storehouse, Kilmainham Gaol and the EPIC emigration museum each tell a different strand of the Dublin story.
