With the 1916 Easter Rising, Dublin has had a troubled past. Across the city visitors can find remnants of this conflict in a variety of forms. For instance, why not visit the GPO Museum on O’Connell Street or Kilmainham Gaol. This popular attraction was once the prison of famous political and military leaders. Today Kilmainham Gaol is one of the largest unoccupied jails on the island of Ireland.
The city is also very proud of its literary background. Throughout Dublin there are many museums, tours and tributes to highlight this. It was even recognised as UNESCO City of Literature in 2010. The more famous writers of the city were James Joyce, Oscar Wilde, and William Butler Yeats. For an overview of Dublin’s creative heritage, take a trip to the Dublin Writers Museum.
