This story unfurls across centuries, telling the tales of the country's greatest wordsmiths – including James Joyce. There's no better place to retrace the steps of Joyce's Dublin than right here, and you can even see 'Copy. No. 1' of Ulysses.
The Museum of Literature Ireland also boasts a plethora of regularly updated exhibitions, including a contemporary commissions gallery and interactive exhibits. A public guided tour is included in the ticket price during select months (October-March).

Dublin Castle
Dublin Castle has been at the center of Irish life since King John of England ordered its erection in 1204. Standing over much earlier structures including a Viking fortress and, possibly, a Gaelic ringfort, it forms the social and political heart of historic Dublin.
Visiting Dublin Castle, you’ll get to see the majestic State Apartments, the Viking ruins underneath, and the ancient Black Pool where the river Liffey meets its underground tributary the River Poddle.
The seat of British administration in Ireland for 700 years, this glorious collection of buildings recounts the history of Dublin like no other.
