Dublin is a beautiful city with countless places of interest to explore. It is a city steeped in history, tradition and culture.

Street-side pubs and cafes are alive with buzz of conversations and traditional Irish entertainment. Medieval and Georgian buildings provide the perfect arena for exploring the many shops, bustling streets and various museums and art galleries. Wherever you go in Dublin you will never stray far from the famous pint of the ‘black stuff’. Guinness is reason enough to visit Dublin and sample the warmth of Irish hospitality.
Visitors often find themselves engaged in discussions of sports, music, politics and literature. Dublin is a thriving centre for culture and is home to the great literary personalities of Shaw, Yeats, Joyce and Beckett. It is also the source of musical talent ranging from the traditional Dubliners and the Chieftains to the more contemporary U2, The Corrs, etc. English is an art which Irish people craft and use very naturally in the work place, at home and when socialising with friends. It is easy to understand why George Bernard Shaw said "the best English is spoken in Ireland".
