Dublin’s economic boom has it changing at a more rapid pace than most other European capitals and the city bustles with a new found vibrancy and energy unimagined just a decade ago. Old Georgian neighborhoods are gradually being restored and new hotels and restaurants are opening at record pace. Traces of Dublin’s original Viking and Norman settlements can be found throughout the city, but Dublin also has some of Europe’s finest Georgian architecture. Most of the city’s most distinguished buildings were built in the late 17th and 18th centuries, when Dublin was Europe’s sixth largest city and one of its most powerful capitals, second only to London. This issue of The European Traveller explores the best of Dublin, from its most fascinating medieval castles and cathedrals to its many intriguing small Georgian neighborhoods. The city also has a unique selection of wonderful theaters and friendly historic pubs. Which hotels are most ideal, which restaurants have the best food and views and which historic sights should not be missed? We traveled to Dublin anonymously to find out! The issue also includes great tips and important travel information for some of the city’s best day trips: Malahide Castle, Ireland’s longest inhabited castle; Newbridge House, one of Ireland’s most important Georgian manors; and the Joyce Tower, an early 19th century defensive tower immortalized by James Joyce in "Ulysses."
