Destination

As fiddle music flows through the charming cobblestone streets, the 13th century stone Record Tower of Dublin Castle recalls the need for defense against the Normans. At Trinity College, the page of a 1,200-year-old manuscript is turned to prevent light damage. Across town, another new high-tech company joins the Digital Hub. The ancient city of Dublin is one of the most dynamic and fastest growing European capitals today, where remnants of the past intermingle with today’s vibrant start-up environment.
