Dublin is one of the literary wonders of the world. Many famous writers such as George Bernard Shaw, James Joyce, Oscar Wilde & Bram Stocker all came from these green hills.
Transportation
Getting There – Iceland Air – As the middle ground between USA and Europe this airline is a great way to travel between both and you can even get a layover in Iceland #exploremore. (NYC => Dublin $360 R/T)
When You’re There – Walking around Dublin is the best way to get around because you just might stumble into a fun pub or find some great music as you roam. If you need a break you can always take the tram (Luas), the public buses, or trains (DART) which can even take you to the suburbs if you are staying outside the city.
