After we visited Galway we brought my mother to Dublin and got to be “first time tourists” with her. This included a visit to Trinity College to have a look at the book of Kells and the library where they filmed some scenes from the Harry Potter movies.
It was quite cold and I didn’t take a lot of photos, but we walked around to see a lot and had a very enjoyable time.

The thoughts and life of me 
What a gorgeous library, a place to easily spend a whole day! 😉
It sure is. It feels almost magical.
👍🏼😊
That library is glorious looking!
Those beers were a perfect ending to a perfect day!
They were a good ending! It really is a wonderful library.
The St.Stephen’s Green shopping center brings me a lot of memories!! The NBA store is still open there?? 😀
Big hugs!!
I think so, I wasn’t really looking in the shops this time around.
That library looks warm and inviting, and what a mall. Enormous looking it is!
The mall is not too big, but quite nice. I love the library!
That library is gorgeous. I could spend weeks in there.
Me too!
Warm and inviting are the words I thought of looking at the library.
Those are good words for the lovely place.
Yes, we loved that library and just stood for what seemed like ages just staring. What I loved about it this library was the fact that it still used by students or other people for research.
I think that is amazing, libraries should be used!
Oh my god. Looks magical. I love reading and now you helped me add a place to my bucket list.
Thank you. It is a magical place!
I love Dublin. I was there over Halloween one year and they had a very spooky a capella vocal concert in the library! Definitely somewhere I want to revisit
That sounds amazing Fiona, I will make a mental note and look for something like that if I find myself in Dublin around that time.
The pictures are wonderful. Hoping to make it there some day soon.
Thank you. I can recommend it.
I’ve never been to Dublin, but years ago I was gifted a Trinity College sweatshirt, so it was cool to see the pictures of it!
I can recommend Dublin. Glad you enjoyed the photos.
Fantastic photographs and a lovely wee jaunt round Dublin. Thanks
Thank You!
Dublin in winter looking ethereal….hope you had a lovely time there….the pictures are great ….
Thank you. We enjoyed!
Love Dublin at Xmas so much x I don’t know if you watch Ripper Street but I once saw them filming it in Trinity ☃️
I have not watched Ripper Street, but it’s a good location for filming!
It is a gorey show. I really loved it because I had seen behind the scenes😊
Sounds cool.
I was in Dublin a few years ago and loved the library and the city. THanks for some memories.
You’re welcome. Glad you enjoyed.
I hope to visit Dublin someday…especially in winters if I can survive the cold! …LoL! I want to visit the famous bars too
I recommend it. It doesn’t usually get to cold from what I hear. But then again, I am from Norway.
😊👍
Now that is the library I want; well maybe not as large, but a raft of oak shelves in casings that can accommodate my books. Need more space or maybe a garage conversion. Lovely place is Dublin and a pint of the black stuff is a solid way to end the day 🙂
You are very right there Gary!
Oh, I’d never leave the library! I hope to visit Ireland some day and I will definitely add this to my list of places to stop!
I recommend you do!
Dublin is a gorgeous city to visit. I’ve only been once but definitely want to visit again.
I’ve been quite a few times now and enjoy it every time.
There’s so much to see and do 👍🏻
So true!
I love a warm-wood old library in chilly weather! My all-too-brief stops in Ireland included mandatory Guiness sampling tours in pubs, and paying my respects to James Joyce, but looks like I stopped exploring way too early.
Hehe the bars are lovely, I recommend doing the Litterary Pub crawl if you get the chance. And also the Litterary museum.
I’ve never been to Dublin ! It looks like a lovely city to visit, I should go ! Thanks for sharing 😊
It is a really lovely city to visit!
