Literarisches Dublin — Joyce, Beckett, Wilde, Yeats & die Irische Literaturtradition
Dublin hat unverhältnismäßig viel Weltliteratur hervorgebracht: vier Literaturnobelpreisträger, den Autor des bedeutendsten Romans in englischer Sprache (James Joyce mit Ulysses) und den größten Witz der englischen Literaturtradition (Oscar Wilde).
Phoenix Park & Howth Head — Dublins Natürliche Ausflugsziele
Dublin's natural spaces: Phoenix Park (the 707-hectare public park on the north bank of the Liffey, the largest urban park in any European capital city (larger than Hyde Park, Regent's Park, and the Bois de Boulogne combined), containing the herd of approximately 600 free-ranging fallow deer (established in the 1660s by the Duke of Ormond), Áras an Uachtaráin (the Irish President's residence), the US Ambassador's Residence, Dublin Zoo, and the Wellington Monument) and Howth Head (the rocky peninsula and fishing village 13 km north of Dublin city centre, accessible by DART suburban train).
Georgianisches Dublin — Merrion Square & die Georgianische Architektur
Georgian Dublin (the architectural legacy of the 18th century, when Dublin was the second city of the British Empire and one of the wealthiest and most elegant cities in Europe): the Georgian squares of Dublin (Merrion Square, Fitzwilliam Square, St. Stephen's Green, Parnell Square) represent the finest and most coherent Georgian townscape in the world — the characteristic Dublin Georgian terrace (red-brick, doorways with fanlight windows and elaborate plasterwork porticos, cast-iron railings, window boxes, and the distinctive Dublin door (the brightly coloured front doors — each house's door painted a different colour — that have become the defining visual symbol of Dublin)) is a UNESCO-potential landscape.
Temple Bar, Trinity College & das Buch von Kells — Dublins Historisches Herz
Dublin — die Hauptstadt und größte Stadt Irlands — hat sein historisches Zentrum am Südufer des Liffey: Temple Bar (das Kultur- und Unterhaltungsviertel), Trinity College (die älteste Universität Irlands, Heimat des Buches von Kells) und die Grafton Street.
Nationalmuseum Irland — Moorleichen, Keltisches Gold & Irische Archäologie
Das Nationalmuseum Irlands (Archäologie) — die bedeutendste Sammlung irischen archäologischen Materials der Welt — beherbergt die Moorleichen (2.000 Jahre lang erhaltene eisenzeitliche Menschenüberreste), das keltische Gold und den Ardagh-Kelch.
Osteraufstand 1916, das GPO & Irische Unabhängigkeit
The Easter Rising (An Éirí Amach na Cásca — the armed insurrection against British rule that began on Easter Monday, April 24, 1916, in Dublin): the Easter Rising (led by Patrick Pearse (1879-1916) and James Connolly (1868-1916) at the head of approximately 1,200 Irish Volunteers and Irish Citizen Army) was the pivotal event of modern Irish history — the Proclamation of the Irish Republic (read by Pearse on the steps of the General Post Office (GPO) on O'Connell Street) on April 24, 1916, is the founding document of the Irish state; the Rising was suppressed within a week and its leaders executed, but the executions transformed public opinion and led directly to the Irish War of Independence (1919-1921) and the establishment of the Irish Free State (1922).
Wicklow Mountains & Glendalough — Mittelalterliche Klosterstadt
Wicklow Mountains (the mountain range immediately south of Dublin, accessible in 1-1.5 hours by bus from Dublin city centre — the 'Garden of Ireland,' the most beautiful natural landscape accessible from the Irish capital): the defining attraction of the Wicklow Mountains is Glendalough (Gleann Dá Loch — 'Valley of the Two Lakes' in Irish), the early medieval monastic settlement founded by St. Kevin (Coemgen, c.498-618 CE) in a glacially carved valley between two lakes (Upper Lake and Lower Lake), one of the most important early Christian sites in Ireland and one of the most atmospheric ruined monastic complexes in Europe.
Guinness Storehouse, Irischer Whiskey & Dublins Gastronomische Szene
Dublins Ess- und Trinkkultur ist untrennbar mit zwei ikonischen irischen Produkten verbunden: Guinness (das irische Dry Stout, erstmals 1759 von Arthur Guinness im St. James's Gate gebraut) und Irish Whiskey (die am schnellsten wachsende Premium-Spirituosenkategorie der Welt).
Traditionelle Irische Musik — Trad Sessions, Uilleann Pipes & Sean-Nós
Traditional Irish music (the genre of instrumental and vocal folk music indigenous to Ireland — jigs, reels, hornpipes, slow airs, and polkas performed on fiddle, uilleann pipes (the Irish bellows-blown bagpipe), tin whistle, flute, accordion, concertina, and bodhrán (the Irish frame drum)) is the living musical tradition that defines Irish cultural identity globally: the traditional music session (the informal gathering of musicians in a pub to play tunes together, open to all who can keep up) is the most democratic musical tradition in the world, and the Dublin trad scene is the most concentrated and accessible in Ireland.
