Ireland
Dublin & the East
The capital, its literature, and a monastic valley in the mountains behind it.
Destinations
Places to see
Everything recorded across Dublin & the East, in one list.
The Long Room, Trinity College
Sixty-five metres of oak barrel vault holding 200,000 of the library's oldest books, with the Book of Kells shown below it a page at a time.
Kilmainham Gaol
Where the leaders of the 1916 Rising were held and shot. Guided entry only, and the tours sell out days ahead — which is the single most useful thing to know about visiting Dublin.
The Round Tower and monastic city
A sixth-century monastic settlement in a glacial valley, with a 30 m round tower whose door is four metres off the ground for reasons nobody has to explain twice.
Things to do
Accommodation & restaurants
EuropeDoor lists neither, yet. Both are business listings rather than editorial entries: they need an operator who claims them, a verification tier and a way to keep prices current, and all three are blocked on the same thing as everything else commercial here. How listings will work · what is built and what is blocked.
Publishing a scraped hotel list would be quick and would be the first unverified thing on this site. That is the trade being refused.
The record
What this atlas holds about Dublin & the East. The counts are derived from the region's own destinations and move when it does; the seasons and the daily cost belong to Ireland and are repeated here rather than looked up.

They belong to Ireland rather than to Dublin & the East, and repeating them on every region page is how two copies of a fact start disagreeing. Ireland →
