guide to dublin

Dublin has experienced an up-and-down history. The prosperity it enjoyed in the 1700s as one of the British Empire’s favored cities (second only to London) quickly eroded thanks to the Act of Union in 1801, which dissolved the separate Irish Parliament (its members went over to the British Parliament). This curtailed Dublin’s growth, and was followed soon after, in the late 1840s, by the Great Famine, which brought refugees from all over Ireland to Dublin. Into the 20th century, Dublin was characterized by resistance to British rule, with Ireland finally eventually leaving the British Commonwealth in 1949. The city had economic problems until the 1990s, when Dublin began to flourish like never before.

Side trips from Dublin can be quite rewarding. A 30-minute car hire drive takes you through Dublin’s suburbs and out onto the coast of Dublin Bay, where you can get great views of the ocean and the rocky coastline. Dùn Laoghaire, Dalkey, and Killiney are southern suburbs you’ll encounter along the way, and are all popular places to stop and stay for a night in lodgings with nice views of the sea. Dalkey is a classic town with medieval-looking streets, upscale boutiques, and plenty of nice pubs.

Going north from Dublin, you can see the vestiges of ancient civilizations, at prehistoric Newgrange and Knowth. Not far from there is the Valley of Boyne, where you can admire the rolling green hills in which Irish kings once ruled.

Shopping is big in Dublin’s outlying areas as well as in its city centre. Dublin offers Celtic jewelry, Irish knitwear, crystal, and linen. Kilkenny Shop is a longstanding shopping gem for travellers, featuring a whole host of items made in Ireland.

Nightlife has a great deal of character in Dublin, and is centered around pub-going. Immortalized in James Joyce’s “Ulysses,” the Brazen Head pub is believed to be Dublin’s oldest, dating back to 1198. This pub is popular among those on holiday.

Dublin International Airport houses several car hire companies in its terminal, making for easy pick-up.
