Overview of your Dublin tour:

This is an insightful and entertaining exploration of the Book of Kells, Trinity College, the National Archaeology Museum and the highlights of the Irish collection of the National Gallery. Trinity college is Ireland's oldest university, established by Queen Elizabeth in 1592. We will explore the cobblestoned squares of the university and visit the Book of Kells exhibition. We will also visit the Old Library, a spectacular 18th century library with its galleries normally containing 200, 000 books. Please note: the Old Library is currently being restored. The books are no longer in the galleries as this restoration is happening. After Trinity College we will make our way to the National Archaeology Museum to explore the Treasury and the Bog Bodies Exhibition. We will then walk to the National Gallery where we will view some of the masterpieces of the Irish art collection.
