Dublin, the cultural heart and capital of the Irish Republic, is a bustling, fascinating city.

Afternoons and evenings are open for exploration. There is hardly a famous Irish personage, writer, poet, musician or scientist who hasn’t been involved with Dublin in some way or other over the last thousand years. In your wanderings you could include the haunts of James Joyce, W.B. Yeats, and other great literati. The National Gallery and the National Museum are treasures to be unearthed.

We’ll take a day each week for bus trips, destinations TBA.

Our residence is Trinity College, in the heart of the city. Accommodations will include ensuite bathrooms and access to a kitchen. Single rooms can be in two or three bedroom newly renovated Heritage apartments with a shared bathroom, (highly recommended) or in a single ensuite room with access to a small kitchenette. Twins will also be ensuite with access to a kitchenette. View accommodation here.

All our daily breakfasts are provided in the college’s Buttery. On weekdays a hot lunch is available. On weekends, we’ll have to fend for ourselves among Dublin’s many fine restaurants and pubs. Many participants often take the middle weekend to explore another part of Ireland. In 2013 we hired a car and drove to the beautiful windswept coast of Donegal to take in the cliffs at Slieve League, taller than the much more tourist-visited Cliffs of Moher. There isn’t a corner of this country that doesn’t offer beautiful landscapes and delightful towns and villages. We encourage everyone to find ‘their’ corner. Roads are uncrowded and there is an excellent network of Motorways out of Dublin in 3 directions if you need to get somewhere in a hurry. But we suggest you just poke along the beautiful smaller roads and take in the beauty of the gorgeous green countryside. The bus company we work with, Collins Travel, also does great day-trips if driving isn’t your thing.

Some participants made the train trip up to Belfast to visit the Titanic Museum and loved that opportunity. The DART (Dublin Area Rapid Transit) commuter train runs up and down the east coast out of Dublin from Howth or Malahide to Co. Wicklow and provides great opportunities to visit small towns along the way.
