About Dublin
The word ‘Dublin’ brings to mind an ancient, yet modern city of stunning Georgian architecture that looks even more beautiful in the night, the music and literature, and the food. The abundance of green space within the city also brings a positive vibe. But, when you decide to travel towards Dublin Bay, the scenery changes drastically opening up to coastal roads through little villages in the backdrop of mountains.
