Landmarks
TODO — what landmarks in Dublin are actually worth the time.
3 placesCollege Green
Trinity College and the Book of Kells
A walled university in the middle of the city, founded in 1592, with a ninth-century illuminated gospel book and a library that looks the way libraries are supposed to look.
Dame Street
Dublin Castle
Seven hundred years of English rule administered from one courtyard, and almost none of it looks like a castle. The Viking foundations underneath are the best part.
The Liffey
Ha'penny Bridge
A cast-iron footbridge from 1816 that charged a halfpenny to cross for a century. Free now, and the most photographed object in the city.
