Dublin Overview

By Travel Expert: Candyce H. Stapen

Dublin, the once "tired" city along the banks of the River Liffey, has morphed into one of Europe's trendiest towns. Teenagers, especially, will like browsing the Temple Bar neighborhood, home to cafes, clubs, galleries, and funky boutiques. For more finds, check out the clothing, jewelry, and crafts sold on Grafton Street.
