A quick overview about Dublin including some useful Dublin hotels and apartments information to help save you money.

Dublin is an exciting vibrant city. Dublin is the capital city of Ireland. It has a population in excess of 1.25 million people and is a rapidly growing city. No visit to Dublin is really complete without visiting the Temple Bar even if it is to soak up the athmosphere of Dublins cultural quartet.Temple Bar Dublin has almost become as well known as Dublin itself in the past decade. Temple Bar is Dublin's supposed cultural quarter. Dublin hotels are the ovbious choice for visitors to the capital and rates have dropped substantially in the past few months.

Grafton Street is the main shopping area of Dublin. It is situated in the very heart of Dublin City, Trinity College is a world famous educational institution. The College was founded by Queen Elizabeth I in 1592 and was exclusively for the education of Protestants in Ireland. The main area of Dublin for those seeking entertainment is most definitely The Temple Bar. Located tight in the city centre this area has a multitude of pubs, restaurants, galleries and more to explore. Temple Bar is home to some of Dublin's best known pubs like The Quays, The Temple Bar, Oliver St John Gogartys, The Turks Head and many more. It is also home to literally dozens of restaurants that offer everything from traditional Irish fare to Spanish, Mexican, Thai, French, Indonisian and even has a Mongolian restaurant where you can make up your own food.The area has become a haven for aspiring musicians and artists and is the bohemian area of the city.

Dublin is a city like no other. Situated on either side of the River Liffey, Dublin is a city of history in the middle of an economic boom. With stunning Georgian Architecture for the backdrop to every day life in Dublin, visitors to Dublin will enjoy seeing something very unique, a historic city supporting a very modern as well as high tech population. People who visit Dublin usually only visit Dublin for a weekend, so it can be hard to decide what to see and do. However the city has a pleathora of things to do and see to cater for all ages, tastes and budgets.


Georgian Architecture in Dublin dates from the 18th Century when Dublin enjoyed a rapid growth of population, a growth which meant the city had to develop outside of its medieval walls. Georgian architecture is so called because it was built between 1714 as well as 1830, during the reigns of George I to George IV. Georgian Architecture shares a sense of proportion plus balance along with an explicit measure of grace which were derived by implementing mathematical rules and ratios to the architecture. Among the finest examples of Georgian Architecture in Dublin are the Custom House, Georgian Houses, The Four Courts as well as the General Post Office (GPO).

Billed for the place where past in addition to present meet, The Guinness Storehouse is a trendy museum which takes you to the home of Guinness. In this fantastic exhibit you will see, smell along with enjoy over 250 years of Guinness being brewed in this part of Dublin. This is a must for all travellers to Dublin!

Dublin is the third most visited capital city in Europe behind Paris plus London with over four million visitors a year. The main Airport is located almost 15 KM from the City Centre.


Situated just north of Dublin City, Dublin Airport (Aerfort Bhaile Atha Cliath in Irish) has seen massive growth in passenger number over recent years. Spurred on by the Celtic Tiger economic boom which allowed Irish people to holiday more in foreign countries, the numbers flying through Dublin Airport have increased massively. Ten years ago passenger levels were around 7 million. 17 million people travelled through Dublin Airport in 2004 and while in 2005 18.4 million people travelled through the airport which was the 14th consecutive year of passenger number growth at Dublin Airport. Amazingly passenger numbers travelling through Dublin Airport have grown at a rate of 1million passengers per year.

In an ideal world, Dublin Airport would have continuously adapted and expanded to keep up with these amazing numbers. Unfortunately now, Dublin Airport is an airport that is ill equipped to deal with these numbers. Today, conditions at Dublin Airport are less than ideal when compared with airports around the world which are adapted and planned to deal with expanded passenger numbers. Rather than an intelligent forward looking planning process for the expansion of Dublin Airport, it seems to be reactionary.

Passenger opinions for Dublin Airport are almost unanimous in their criticism for the airport. Where as other airport around the world are spacious and clean with modern equipment, Dublin airport seems to be very outdated. Part of the problem for Dublin Airport is that it has confined itself in on a postage stamp size of land which has meant expansion difficult if not near impossible. While Dublin Airport's future may be rosier, there is no doubt that in its current state it is unsuitable for the purpose it is serving.

Hotels in Temple Bar are a popular choice amongst visitors to Dublin's fair city.. This is simply due to the fact that Temple Bar is so centrally located and offers a convenient location for guests. It is always adviseable to book your hotels in Temple Bar well in advance to avoid any dissappointment. Temple Bar hotels include The Paramount Hotel, The Clarance Hotel-owned by U2, Blooms Hotel. The 5 star Westin Hotel is also located close by.

Temple Bar is located right in the heart of Dublin City Centre close to both Grafton and O Connell Streets.. It is full of pubs and restaurants and is a favourite spot for both Irish and overseas travellers especially UK visitors. Its always worth a look but not for the faint hearted late at night. The area also has a number of art galleries and nightclubs. For those seeking to book large group accommodation for Dublin stag parties check out the link.
Just half an hour from the Temple Bar there are mountain walks, scenic coastlines and beautiful beaches. Dublin is a city alive with culture and all the trappings of modern life and is now in the top 4 most visited cities in Europe. The city offers everything from designer shopping areas like Grafton Street, to the wide-open space of the Phoenix Park-the largest park in Europe, to the splendour of its many museums and landmarks including the famous Trinity College and Gunniness Storehouse. Dublin truely has something to offer all visitors. Hope you enjoy my first Knol about Dublin!
