INTRODUCTION
Dublin is the largest city in Ireland and capital of the Republic of Ireland. The city is spread over the broad valley of the River Liffey, with the Wicklow Hills sheltering it on the south. Many of Dublin's principal buildings and its main street layout date from the end of the 18th Century and streets of Georgian four-storey town houses are a distinctive feature of the city's architecture. Modern Dublin is a prosperous city with busy streets and restaurants. Most visitors to Ireland will spend some time in the cit as there is plenty to enjoy.
