Dublin is the lively and popular capital city of the Republic of Ireland, and is also the largest city in the country. Known for its culture and friendly atmosphere Dublin has become one of Europe’s top tourist destinations over the last decade or so.
True enough, hen and stag dos are becoming very popular here because of this party-like atmosphere that can be found on just about every day of the year, but if you want to combine drinking with some cultural sights then Dublin is the place to come.

Here you’ll see the national collections including history and archaeology in the National Museum, and Irish and European art in the National Gallery. For more modern and contemporary art Dublin has the Irish Museum of Modern Art to offer.
