Trinity College - St Patrick Cathedral Merrion Square - Bank of Ireland
Visit the impressive Trinity College, Ireland's first university, founded in 1592 by Queen Elizabeth I. The college is also famed for its exhibit of the Book of Kells. During its early life, Trinity was a university exclusively for the Protestant ascendency class of Dublin.
Have a look at the Bank of Ireland, formerly the original home of Irish Parliament.
Then, walk to St Patrick Cathedral, largest church in the country, which was erected between 1200 and 1270. It has contributed much to Irish life throughout its long history. The massive west tower dates from 1370 and houses one of the largest peal of bells in Ireland.
Have a walk through Merrion Square, where you will get to see some of the best Georgian entrances of Dublin, Grafton street and St Stephen's Green Square. Go to George's St Arcade, an excellent covered market with a beautiful architecture, for some great hand-clothes shops, and stalls selling jewellery and records.

"The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page", St. Augustine said. Here at www.travel-university.org we believe that every page must be read and explored. Travel is an avenue of learning that no text or classroom can teach. The world is a living classroom and you the student. We invite you to the www.travel-university.org library where you can read general interest and detail oriented articles.
