More about Dublin
Dublin is the thriving capital city of the Republic of Ireland. It is on a par with many bigger European cities in terms of its vibrancy, its nightlife and its tourist attractions, and is the most popular entry point for international visitors to Ireland. As a city it is disproportionately large for the size of the country (2006 pop. 1.6m); well over a third of the Republic's population lives in the greater Dublin area. The centre is however relatively small and can be navigated by foot, with most of the population living in sprawling suburbs. (Click here for more information...)

Dublin Shopping Guide
It's hard to find anyone that doesn't love Dublin. The city that gave us literary giants such as James Joyce and W.B Yeats, as well as sensory pleasures like Guinness and U2, is as buzzy and vibrant as it ever was. Although the Celtic tiger may be slowing its pace, the city is constantly changing with new restaurants, shops and bars opening seemingly ever week. Dublin is an eminently friendly city, and the cool weather will encourage even the most diehard teetotaler to head to the nearest pub to sample the Irish craic.

National Theatre of Ireland
The Abbey Theatre, also known as the National Theatre of Ireland, is located in Dublin, Ireland. The Abbey first opened its doors to the public on 27 December 1904 and, despite losing its original building to a fire in 1951, it has continued to stage performances more or less continuously to the present day.
