Dublin's Fair City is very much "alive alive-o", and

even with restrictions in place, the sights are still as vibrant and interesting
as the inhabitants themselves. Although we can only travel locally (per guidelines) at
the moment, here's some inspiration for #WhenWeTravelAgain...
Here, we present a small sampling of what Dublin is made of; but more than anything, it's
made of Dubliners, reflecting their resilient spirit, irrepressible sense of humour, pride in
their home, and passion for discovery. While some aspects of life in our unique city may be
temporarily paused, this is the perfect opportunity for locals to learn about spots they may
have missed; it's time to reclaim and renew your acquaintance with what makes it not just
unbeatable... but truly unstoppable.

From medieval churches to the Georgian quarter, Dublin has a host of architectural gems
from every important period in history — when an architectural amble is possible again,
golden oldies like Christ Church Cathedral (c.1028) and Dublin Castle (1230) never fail to
disappoint, and mid-century fanatics will get a kick out of Busáras (1953). For those who
prefer something more contemporary, the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre (2010) and The
Convention Centre Dublin (2010) light up the night near the Dublin Docklands.

Dublin holds the written word close to its heart and there are some truly heart-warming
literary spots scattered around the capital — from statues and busts, to bridges and plaques.
Once restrictions ease, there will be many ways to approach a literary tour of Ireland's
capital; why not embrace Joyce’s Dublin and follow the steps Leopold Bloom walked
in Ulysses? Alternatively, visit some of the talking statues dedicated to Ireland’s most
famous writers (Oscar Wilde and George Bernard Shaw to name but a few) to stage an
impromptu reading.

Dublin is steeped in history that dates back over 1,000 years. History buffs will have plenty
to discover, whether they’re interested in our Medieval Viking past or the Irish Civil War in
the early 20th century. When we're cleared to wander about freely, some essential activities
include spotting the battle scars outside the General Post Office left over from the
1916 Easter Rising; taking a walk through The Liberties (once a semi-independent fiefdom
with its own laws); and visiting College Green to picture the 18th Century scenes as a grand
new parliament house (now the Bank of Ireland) rose in 1728, and an imposing gateway
and façade for Trinity College followed in 1759.

What better way is there to experience the great outdoors than enjoying a sunset's
symphony of colour, or listening to birdsong as you fill your lungs with crisp morning
air? Dublin offers plenty of bracing walks all year round for every level of hiker. Even now if
it's within your travel area (or if it's not, when guidelines permit it again), you can visit
Killiney Hill for incomparable views of the sea and the city; grab a coffee in Clontarf and
enjoy a stroll out to Bull Island; or head to the Dublin Mountains for a bit of magic and
mystery at the Hellfire Club.
