About Dublin
Dublin is the capital city of the Republic of Ireland. It is situated on the east coast of Ireland, where the river Liffey enters the Irish Sea. Although one third of the country's population lives in the Greater Dublin area, the city still retains the charm and intimacy of the small town that was the birthplace of Wilde, Yeats and Beckett. The low-rise landscape features distinctive Georgian public buildings, streetscapes and parks. The city offers visitors wonderful shopping, vibrant theatre and entertainment options and, of course, the traditional pubs that are famous the world over.
