Dublin is one of Europe's most beautiful capital cities. It is exciting and vibrant and has one of the youngest populations in Europe. Culture and music are everywhere and areas such as Temple Bar attract many young people. The city has some of the finest examples of Georgian architecture in the world, and yet is a modern city with excellent shops, restaurants and museums all within short walking distance.
At night Dublin is just as lively as during the day. You can go to one of the many restaurants or visit the pubs famous for their traditional music and step-dancing.
