It would be very unusual if someone coming to Dublin, did not end sooner or later in a pub" James Joyce I think this quote by James Joyce is very descriptive with regard to the city of Dublin. At least it is to me. The first time I walked into a pub I was in Dublin.

But let's make a brief HISTORICAL of the city of Dublin: The origins of Dublin date to the third century AD when the Vikings built their village on the banks of the Liffey.
Dublin in the years to come, like the rest of Ireland, suffered various invasions and dominations. In particular, the close control by British gradually became increasingly tight. The struggles of independence from England began in those centuries and continued until the twentieth century, in fact Dublin was home to numerous popular uprisings including those of 1916. But independence was sanctioned only in 1921. Today, Dublin is the capital of the Republic of Ireland (Eire) and manages three-quarters of the island.

Anyone who chooses to spend a holiday in Dublin, faces him/herfelf with a wide choice of interesting itineraries considering that the city is divided into two parts by the River Liffey (crossed over by the characteristic penny Bridge).
The north shore is more popular with shopping streets such as Talbot Street and Henry Street.
