DublinÕs story is of feast and famine — from its 18th-century Golden Age to its 20th-century struggles for independence to its boomtime today. We explore the townÕs thriving Grafton Street, patriotic jail, and Trinity College with its Book of Kells—a bright light in the Dark Ages. We take a side trip to the prehistoric necropolis of Newgrange, and greet the evening in Temple Bar, awash with Celtic music and frothy pints of Guinness.
