​A Brief History of Dublin

Dublin was founded by Vikings in the 9th century. They built a settlement along the River Liffey, which grew into a busy trading port. The original name, Dubh Linn, means "black pool" in Irish and referred to a dark tidal pool where the Poddle stream met the Liffey. Traces of this Viking past can still be found in the city’s layout and archaeological sites.

In the 12th century, the Normans took control of Dublin. They built stone castles, churches, and fortifications, many of which still stand today. Dublin Castle became the seat of power, and the city grew in influence.

From the 16th century onward, British rule shaped the city for hundreds of years. This period brought major changes, some architectural, others political. The 18th century was a time of growth, marked by elegant Georgian buildings and the rise of Dublin as the second city of the British Empire. It was also a time of deep division and hardship for many Irish citizens.

Dublin played a leading role in Ireland’s fight for independence. The 1916 Easter Rising, which began in the heart of the city, was a key moment in Irish history. The violence and political unrest that followed led to the creation of the Irish Free State in 1922. Dublin then became the capital of an independent Ireland.

Today, the city reflects all of these layers. It is a place of memory and movement, shaped by its past but open to change. You will see history in the streets, in the museums, and in everyday life.

​Why Visit Dublin

Malahide Castle.

Dublin is known for its people. Locals are warm, curious, and quick to chat. You’ll feel welcome whether you’re sitting in a pub, browsing a market, or waiting at a bus stop. The city’s friendliness is real and memorable.

Music is everywhere, from street corners to traditional sessions in small bars. The pub scene is famous for good reason. These are not just places to drink, but gathering spots full of life and conversation.

Dublin is also a UNESCO City of Literature. Writers like James Joyce, Samuel Beckett, and W.B. Yeats all called it home. You can visit their old haunts, walk the same streets they wrote about, and explore the city’s deep connection to language.

Beyond culture, Dublin offers quiet parks, coastal day trips, excellent food, and world-class museums. It’s a city where old and new live side by side. You might explore a medieval cathedral in the morning and enjoy a modern art exhibit in the afternoon.

​When to Visit Dublin

The Temple Bar area in Dublin.

Dublin’s weather is mild, with few extremes. Summers are cool and pleasant, while winters are cold but rarely freezing. Rain is common, so always carry a light waterproof jacket.

Spring

Winter
