Things to See and Do In Dublin

Dublin is the hub of Ireland and it has many things to keep you occupied, aside from the usual Guinness Brewery, Book of Kells, Trinity College and the plethora of shopping available. Take some time to enjoy some of the following...

	Dalkey This charming south-coast suburb of Dublin enjoys both easy access to the city and freedom from its snarls and frenzy. It has a castle, an island, a mountaintop folly, and a few parks, all in ample miniature. With all the fine and simple restaurants and pubs and shops anyone needs for a brief visit or a long stay, Dalkey is a tempting town to settle into.
	Dublin Zoo in the Phoenix Park Kids love this 30-acre zoo, with its array of creatures, animal-petting corner, and train ride. The surrounding park has room to run, picnic, and explore for hours (or days!).
	Dublin's Viking Adventure This is a fun learning experience. Kids travel back in time to be part of Viking life with "real Vikings" working and interacting in a model Norse town. It's on the site where the Vikings made their home in Dublin.
	Dun Laoghaire Dún Laoghaire is a town on the coast about 7 miles (11km) south of Dublin. Together with the splendid harbour and surrounding rolling hills, Dún Laoghaire is the ideal place to begin or end your journey through Ireland. It was once called Kingstown and before that the English called it Dunleary. This is an excellent base for Dublin City -- the DART (Dublin Rapid Area Transit) station whisks you into the city within minutes!
