Georgian elegance: Dublin's signature architectural style makes its most trimphant showing in Merrion, Fitzwilliam, Montjoy, and Parnell squares.
The Guiness Brewery and Storehouse: A high-tech museum tells the story of Guinness, Dublin's black blood. At the top, the Gravity Bar has the city's best views.
The music scene: The best places to catch a performance in music-mad Dublin are midsize venues like the Olympia Theatre, where local acts and leading international artists often share the stage.
Temple Bar: This hypertrendy neighborhood has two identities: quirky shopping district by day, raucous pub quarter by night.
Trinity College: An oasis of books, granite, and grass sits at the heart of the city. Highlights are the exquisitely illustrated Book of Kells and the ornate Long Room.
