When to go to Dublin?
Trinity College keeps the Book of Kells under low light, with a long barrel-vaulted library above it. St Patrick's Cathedral holds its grey stone a few streets south, the Guinness Storehouse pours its pint above the old brewery, and Temple Bar handles the noise. Georgian doors in every colour of paint fill the streets in between, and the sea is never far away.
