- Have a pint of Guinness (Rumour has it Guinness tastes better in Dublin!) or visit the Food Market, Book Market and Designer Mart at weekends!

 - Irish Gaelic is an official language of the Euopean Union. Sign up for an Irish language class while you are there! 

- Discover the prehistoric remains at Newgrange (dated in 3,200 BC), making it even older than Stonehenge and the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt. Experience the "simulated" illumination of its passage and chamber by the Winter Solstice sun in December!
