In comparison to many other capital cities, Dublin is a vibrant and buzzing city with an outgoing and friendly population. At the heart of the city lies Trinity College Dublin, with its magnificient buildings and beautiful campus spanning 47 acres. Trinity College has occupied this location for the past 400 years, and boasts fine squares and gardens together with a collection of magnificent buildings dating from the 17th to the 21st century.
Today Trinity College Dublin is a modern research-oriented university, ranked in the top 50 research universities worldwide according to the The Times Higher Education survey. In contrast to the serene surroundings of the College landscape, the modern city of Dublin is just outside the main gate of the campus, with shops, theatres, cinemas and museums within walking distance.
Dublin is built on the River Liffey and situated beside the sea yet close to the countryside and mountains. The rest of Ireland is easily accessible by car, train, or bus. Ireland with its beautiful scenery offers a range of attractions to the tourist, including ancient archaeological sites and monuments, a variety of sporting activities such as fishing, riding and golf, as well as traditional dancing and music.
