In the city of Dublin, capital of Ireland

 "For myself, I always write about Dublin, because if I can get to the heart of Dublin I can get to the heart of all the cities of the world. In the particular is contained the universal." -- James Joyce

==============================================================
(in the capital of Ireland) The city of Dublin is found on a bay on the island's east coast, at the mouth of the River Liffey. It is bordered on the south by the Dublin Mountains, a part of the Wicklow Mountains range. A cultural powerhouse live with history, artistry, and spirit to spare, Dublin brings to mind literary giants, Georgian architecture -- and, a dark Irish dry stout that originated in the brewery of Arthur Guinness at St. James's Gates. Many nights here are alive with pub crawls and spirited music. But the days are also full of revelry, with enchanting architecture, tucked-away bookstores, and singular museums like the Chester Beatty. Green spaces abound, such as the St Stephens Green or Iveagh Gardens. And no trip is complete without a tour of a local distillery, where you can sample local spirits like Jameson or Teeling. The city is also a living museum of its history, with medieval castles and cathedrals on display alongside the architectural splendors of its 18th-century heyday, when Dublin was the most handsome Georgian city of the British Empire.
