A stroll through the beautiful Trinity College Campus will take you back to the 18th century when the onsite magnificent Old Library building was built – the Library that now displays the illuminated illustrations of the Christian Gospels dating from 800 AD.!

Escorted by your guide, you will make your way St. Stephens Green, Ireland’s best known Victorian public park. Re-opened by Lord Ardilaun in 1880 for the citizens of Dublin.
