There’s always something new to learn.
Dublin wears its history like a cozy sweater — stitched with poets, rebels, and raucous pub nights. But look closer, and you’ll find a city that’s constantly reinventing itself. It’s where Georgian townhouses share streets with tech giants, and literary ghosts linger in the corners of indie bookshops. Strolling its cobblestones feels like time travel, yet Dublin’s energy is young, open-hearted, and full of momentum.
Every pint comes with a story, and every smile feels like it’s been waiting just for you.
Let’s see what we discover.
Things you didn’t know about Dublin.
5. Dublin has more green space than almost any European capital.
Roughly one-third of the city is parkland, including the enormous Phoenix Park — home to wild deer, cricket matches, and even the president’s house.
4. Dublin’s O’Connell Bridge is wider than it is long.
It spans the River Liffey with a curious quirk: at 45 meters wide and only 50 meters long, it’s one of the few bridges in Europe with that distinction.
3. Dublin is a UNESCO City of Literature.
It’s the hometown of literary giants like Joyce, Beckett, and Wilde — and its streets are still packed with wordsmiths, bookstores, and poetry slams today.
2. Dublin was once a Viking stronghold.
The city was originally founded by Norse settlers as Dubh Linn (“black pool”), and its Viking past is still visible in the underground ruins beneath Dublin Castle.
1. Dublin pours more Guinness than anywhere else in the world.
Over 10 million pints are served in the city each year — and legend says it tastes better here, thanks to fresher lines, local pride, and maybe a little Irish magic.

Dublin is equal parts rebel and romantic.
