Permeated with legends, inhale the majestic air filled with fairy dust and leprechaun magic. Dublin has long been a favorite destination of fun-loving people who love to travel into fairytales, see ancient castles, embrace unique cultures, and feast on hearty Irish meals, visit museums, and drink pints of Guiness at local pubs. Visitors to Dublin also come for the wide variety of shopping, nightlife, and to stroll through the elegant Georgian style streets of Merrion and Fitzwilliam squares. You may leave Dublin, Ireland, but her scintillating mystique will never leave you.
The Guiness Storehouse and St. James Brewery is a Mecca for beer connoisseurs from all corners of the globe. Unique, not only because of the amazing beer produced here, but also for the all-singing, all-dancing merriment that accompanies the tantalizing tale of the history of the Brewery. The National Art Gallery is unlike any other. Highlighted by Carravaggio’s, “The Taking of the Christ”, which lay undiscovered until the 1990’s, this museum houses a fine collection of works revered by art lovers’ world-wide. Dublin Castle, a controversial symbol of Great Britain’s tumultuous past with Ireland, lets you experience the spirit and endurance of what it truly means to be Irish. Ask yourself if the statue of justice is really turning her back on Ireland by facing the castle. You may leave Dublin, Ireland, but her scintillating mystique will never leave you.
