    Dublin - Contemporary, yet Filled with History and Tradition
    Once a walled medieval city, Dublin is an eclectic mix of elegant Georgian homes, wide streets and gracious squares. You’ll feel the energy of Celtic tradition wherever you go. See the National Museum, with collections of antiquities, decorative arts and history; the National Gallery, which displays over 2,000 works; the Parliament Building; and St. Stephen's Green. After this renowned district, your tour continues past Trinity College, founded in 1591 by Elizabeth I, whose library contains the Book of Kells, the famous 8th-century hand-illuminated gospel manuscript. Travel along O'Connell Street with its monuments to notable figures from Ireland’s turbulent history as well as the General Post Office, site of rebel headquarters in the 1916 Easter Rising. The Mespil Hotel, your home for the next three nights, is convenient to Temple Bar, Dublin’s cultural quarter and lively nightlife.
