Welcome to Dublin.
Over the last two decades, Dublin has changed faster than any other West European city. Extensive building and redevelopment have transformed it into a dynamic, thriving tourist and business center, with a young and highly educated population. A place of contrasts - inhabitants call it ‘The Fair City’ and ‘Dear Old Dirty Dublin’ at the same time. Amazingly dynamic, it's at the center of the economic revolution that changed Ireland from one of Europe's poorest countries into its second-richest. And it’s still compact enough for the buzzing central area to be enjoyed on foot.
