Dublin City Guide, Ireland. Tourism. Like many modern cities, Dublin is a melting pot. Along with its traditional Irish culture, Dublin has been infiltrated by a host of glorious international influences. The city is the largest in Ireland, and its fast-growing immigrant population brings people from all over the world. The influence of these cultures is evident in the diverse and vibrant culinary scene that can be found here. That said, Dublin has held on to some of its classic characteristics. Known for its traditions, fine literature, folklore, customary music and dance, and fresh pints of Guinness are never in short supply. Travelers should expect to experience the traditional alongside the contemporary on their next trip to Dublin. World-class shopping, dining, and entertainment in and around Grafton Street are just part of the city's charm. Join in the "craic" at one of the city's friendly bars and pubs or explore its history and culture in exceptional museums and galleries.
