Overview:

Dublin is situated at the mouth of the River Liffey and encompasses a land area of approximately 115km.

History:

The name Dublin comes from the Irish name Dubhlinn or Duibhlinn, meaning ""black pool"". As Dublin continued to prosper during the 18th century, Georgian Dublin became, for a short period, the 2nd largest city of the British Empire and the 5th largest city in Europe, with the population exceeding 130,000. The vast majority of Dublin's most notable architecture dates from this period, such as the Four Courts and the Custom House. Temple Bar and Grafton Street are 2 of the last remaining areas that were not affected by the wave of Georgian reconstruction and kept their medieval character. The Easter Rising of 1916 (the Irish War of Independence) was the subsequent Irish Civil War that resulted in a significant amount of physical demolition in the centre of Dublin. The Government of the Irish State rebuilt the city centre and based the new parliament, the Oireachtas, in Leinster House.

Food/Restaurants:

Dublin has a variety of ethnic restaurants. As of 2013, Restaurant Patrick Guilbaud is the only two-Michelin starred restaurant along with five one-Michelin starred restaurants such as Bon App'tit, Chapter One, L'Ecrivain, Locks Brasserie and Thornton's Restaurant. There are thousands of places to eat around Dublin, you will never go hungry.
