Dublin is the heart of Ireland. The capital city not only represents Ireland’s glorious past, but also its contemporary style. Dublin began life as a Viking settlement founded over 1,000 years ago on the banks of the river Liffey. It became an administrative capital after the Norman conquest of Ireland in the 12th Century. Students can experience all that Ireland has to offer in one city. Dublin’s extensive historical and cultural heritage is evidenced by its numerous cultural venues, museums, galleries, and theaters. The youthful, modern Dublin is exemplified through its population: the majority of residents are under the age of 25!
