  • Dublin Castle (Pass by)

    Constructed in the early 13th century on the site of a Viking settlement, Dublin Castle served for centuries as the headquarters of English, and later British, administration in Ireland. (We will view the castle from outside the walls as the complex is closed to the public from May 2026 due to Ireland's hosting of the EU presidency).

    Established in 1592 by royal charter from Queen Elizabeth I, Trinity College stands as Ireland's oldest university still in operation today.
