We had a nice stroll around the campus and then found a quiet cafe to have lunch nearby. There was quite a long line to visit The Book of Kells so we didn't get a chance to see it...but we'll definite return someday!

...until June 2013! But it's easy to find, in a nice Georgian neighborhood. We were disappointed to find it closed.

The library is the most fascinating place of everything at Trinity College. It is worth paying the 9 Euros to go in and look at all the educational items before looking at the Book of Kells and other monk written books. Once you are done in this section, you are directed to see the vast library that is a very... More
