Ferry Crossings to Dublin
Medieval and Georgian
architecture provide the backdrop to the bustling and lively streets
filled with street entertainers of every kind. Dublin is a
thriving centre for culture and is an extremely popular area and demand is high all year round. It is home
to much of Ireland's cultural heritage. Magnificent public buildings such as
Trinity College, Leinster House, and the Bank of Ireland at College Green are
not to be missed. Night time
entertainment is a rich mix of international dining, word class theatre, rock
concerts, jazz clubs and traditional music. The city also has the advantage of
having surprisingly rural and picturesque suburbs. Coastal towns like Howth and
Killiney allow the visitor to get away from it all without venturing far from
the city.

Attractions include:
The
Fry Model Railway - this is a unique collection of handmade models of Irish
trains, from the beginning of rail travel to modern times. Not only Ireland's
largest miniature railway, the exhibition is unique in that it is a working
railway covering an area of 2,500 square feet. Situated in the beautiful grounds
surrounding Malahide Castle, this delightful collection is a treat for railway
enthusiasts....
Dublinia
- Dublinia has been developed by The Medieval Trust to recreate the
formative period in the city's growth from the arrival of the Anglo Normans in
1170 to the closure of its monasteries by Henry VIII in 1540. It is situated in
a beautifully preserved building in the heart of the old city, next to Christ
Church Cathedral.
Bank
of Ireland - This centre
of 20th century commerce is one of the most striking of Dublin's 18th century
buildings. Built in 1729 to house the Irish Parliament, it became redundant when
the British and Irish Parliaments were united in London. It would be a shame to
leave this noble city without spending a few moments in one of Europe's most
unique chambers.
Dublin
Castle - This castle is the heart of historic Dublin. In fact the city gets
it name from the Black Pool - 'Dubh Linn' which was on the site of the present
Castle Garden. The Castle stands on the ridge on a strategic site at the
junction of the River Liffey and its tributary the Poddle, where the original
fortification may have been an early Gaelic Ring Fort.
