Step back in time to the magnificent 13th-century Dublin Castle. Standing on the site of a much older Viking settlement, the area has seen plenty of action over the years!

The oldest university in Ireland, it can trace its roots back to the late 1500s and counts Oscar Wilde and Bram Stoker amongst its student cohort.
