Dublin excels in packaging its past for the visitor.

New construction is everywhere, the streets buzz, traffic is increasingly congested, and in the frenetic pace of rush hour everyone in Dublin seems intent on changing places with everyone else.

City on the Liffey
| 3 |
The River Liffey flows from west to east through the center of the city to Dublin Bay.
| 2 |
The river forms a natural line between the north and south sections of the city.
| 3 |
Historically and culturally this north-south distinction has always been significant, and it still is today, with a dose of good-humored rivalry between the two areas.
| 3 |
“ I never go north of the Liffey,”
| 3 |
“ I never go north of the Liffey,” one man remarked.
| 3 |
Farther out, both north and south, are the sweeping curves of the Royal and Grand Canals.

The occasional cry of gulls and unexpected distant vistas will remind you that Dublin is by the sea, and the Wicklow mountains, which hold Dublin closely to the coast, are visible from everywhere.

| 1 |
The climate here can best be described as “changeable” and yet the sudden shifts from light to dark, sunshine to shower, are part of the city’s magic.

Enjoying Dublin

At night the streets are crowded with people bent on having a good time.

The city’s impact on the rock and pop music scene with the likes of U2 and Bob Geldof is well known — there’s even a self-guided tour of their haunts.
| 0 |
Traditional Irish music is also alive and well, especially in the pubs, and there has been a revival of storytelling, poetry reading, and traditional dancing.
| 0 |
Prosperity is in the air; the roar of the “Celtic Tiger” can clearly be heard.

Dublin has international restaurants galore, and the New Irish Cuisine is built upon fresh products of Ireland’s seas, rivers, and farms.

But this is not the whole picture.
| 0 |
Coffee has replaced the ubiquitous tea — Dublin is now almost as much a coffee city as Vienna or Seattle.

City and Countryside
| 1 |
In a city of such human proportions it is not surprising that parks and gardens abound for recreation and relaxation.
| 0 |
Phoenix Park in the northwest is the largest open space, but squares like St. Stephen’s Green are the garden oases of the city.
| 0 |
As capital of Europe’s most explosive economy, Dublin seems to be changing before your very eyes.
| 1 |
On the coast, Sandymount, Dollymount, and Killiney strands are the places to go.

The beautiful Wicklow Mountains, and the Wicklow Mountains National Park provide a more rugged countryside, and the area has breathtaking houses and gardens such as Castletown, Mount Usher, and Powerscourt.
| 1 |
To the north and west are the ancient sites of Ireland: Malahide Castle, the evocative hill of Tara, and the long barrows of Knowth and Newgrange.
| 3 |

Dublin is a young city.

But in fact, there have been changes, many of them due to economic progress, new construction, and other factors that influence cities all over the world.
| 3 |
Others are more subtle.
