Ireland’s Charming Capital
Dublin is Ireland’s cultural, political, and business capital. About one out of every four Irish residents lives in the Irish capital. If it’s happening in Ireland, it’s most likely occurring in Dublin. The city is home to dozens of universities, with the most prestigious, Trinity College, smack in the center of downtown. Dublin is split in two by the River Liffey, whose banks are flanked by stately townhouses and storefronts.
Outside of your English courses in Dublin, step into the city and experience the warmth of Irish people for yourself. Spark a conversation with a shop owner at the boutiques along Grafton and O’Connell streets. Dance the Irish jig to traditional music in a Temple Bar pub. Visit the Guinness factory and listen as a tour guide waxes poetic about Ireland’s favorite beverage. On the weekends, go beyond city limits to discover the rolling green hills, medieval castles, quaint villages, and craggy cliffs of the Irish countryside.
