You might choose to begin your holiday with a tour of the historic Trinity College. You can view the architecturally impressive Campanile bell tower and the literary displays in the famous old library. However, you may be particularly keen to visit the book of Kells exhibition centre.

You can learn more about Dublin's cultural heritage at the Irish Museum of Modern Art. This grand building contains a variety of contemporary paintings and sculptures.

You should make sure that you leave enough energy in reserve for a cracking night out in Dublin. The streets are lined with top-notch bars and entertainment venues. However, it's worth starting out with a couple of drinks in the Temple Bar area. Then you can make your way to popular nightclubs and late night music venues.
