What do you want to see? Trinity College & the Book of Kells Ireland's oldest university, its cobbled quadrangles a calm break from the surrounding streets, and home to the Old Library's Long Room and the illuminated 9th-century Book of Kells manuscript. Guinness Storehouse A seven-storey former fermentation plant at St James's Gate turned into Ireland's most visited attraction, tracing the brewing process up to a rooftop bar with a 360-degree view over the city. Kilmainham Gaol A former prison that held generations of Irish political prisoners, including the leaders of the 1916 Easter Rising who were executed in its stone breaker's yard — one of the most sobering, essential stops in the city. Dublin Castle The seat of British rule in Ireland for over 700 years, now a working government complex with state apartments, a Viking excavation in the undercroft, and the Chester Beatty Library in its garden. St Patrick's Cathedral Ireland's largest cathedral, built on the site associated with St Patrick's own baptisms, and the resting place — and former deanship — of Jonathan Swift, author of Gulliver's Travels. Phoenix Park One of the largest enclosed urban parks in Europe, more than twice the size of New York's Central Park, home to a wild deer herd, the President's residence, and Dublin Zoo. Chester Beatty Library A small, free, world-class museum of illuminated manuscripts, religious texts and East Asian art assembled by a mining magnate, tucked in the grounds of Dublin Castle and routinely overlooked. Temple Bar The cobbled riverside quarter of brightly painted pub fronts, buskers and late nights that has become shorthand for Dublin nightlife, for better and for louder.
