The grad student from Trinity was highly informative and shared a bit of Irish history all the way back to the Vikings, the political effects on Ireland long ago and today. Walk was very easy through Trinity, Temple Bar to Dublin Castle. Only 12Euro per person. More

The book of Kells is a beautifully illustrated manuscript, but my favorite part of the visit was the long room. It looks like it's straight out of Harry Potter. It makes you want to whisper without anyone having to "shush" you. More

Trinity College has a beautiful campus. There are no words to describe the awe I felt standing inside the library. The book of Kells is something that should be seen by anyone that loves arts, literature, or religion. More

We went at dusk the first night we were there and then gave us a chance to take in all the beauty - so peaceful. We went back during the day to see the Book of Kells and it was crowded with students - yes it's a college... I know, I just preferred the beauty and peacefulness of it at... More
