Dublin is buzzing with creative energy, fantastic nightlife and cool locals, thanks to its long history as a literary city.

Why we love EC Dublin
Taste the local culture at the Guinness Storehouse or Irish Whiskey Museum followed by historical Trinity College. The huge Phoenix Park is home to our President, as well as Dublin Zoo. History buffs can explore the remains of Ashtown Castle, built in the 15th century.
The best way to enjoy weekends is to gather a group of friends and plan a road trip. One favourite is the Celtic Boyne Valley Tour with 5000-year-old historic sites!
