Ireland

Dublin

Dublin can claim to be one of the most beautifully situated of the world's capitals, located in the wide plain overlooked by the legendary Wicklow Mountains and facing a broad sweeping bay that leads into the Irish Sea. The city has a population of a million people which is about a third of the total population of the country. Dublin is the centre of government, commerce and industry and it is the seaport of the River Liffey. It was with the coming of the Vikings in 841 that Dublin started as a town. Dublin is a city for walkers, talkers and a city where the people are as worth watching as the architecture.
