St Patrick's Cathedral
St. Patrick's Cathedral (St.Patrick'sCathedral), located on the west side of the south bank of the Liffey River in Dublin, was established in the very ancient origin of Christianity. In the fourth century AD, Patrick, a Christian, was canonized by the Irish for his outstanding missionary achievements, and it is said that he was baptized and converted to Christianity at an ancient well here. The bell tower on the west side of the church was completed in 1370 and still houses the largest bell in Ireland. The early St. Patrick's Cathedral was built in 450 and has been rebuilt several times to its present size. In 1181 AD, after King Henry II appointed John Comyn as the Archbishop of Dublin, he began to build St. Patrick's Cathedral one after another, which continued until the end of the 14th century. Today's church was rebuilt in the 19th century. In this church, in addition to the tombstones of the early Celts, there are also important figures in the history of the founding of Ireland, including the president of the Republic of Ireland. It can be said that St. Patrick's Cathedral is as important to the Irish nation as the United Kingdom. of Westminster Abbey.Dublin · 42.7km from Wicklow
Trinity College Dublin
Trinity College Dublin is located in the heart of Dublin. Founded in 1592 by a royal charter from Queen Elizabeth I, it has a history of over 400 years and is often compared to Oxford and Cambridge in the UK. The campus itself is a major attraction: the bell tower at the center of Parliament Square, the red-brick old buildings, and the open lawns create a quiet oasis in the bustling city. Writers such as Wilde, Swift, and Beckett once studied here, and strolling through the grounds feels like walking in the footsteps of literary giants. The signature experiences of the college are the Old Library and the Book of Kells. This illuminated manuscript, created around 800 AD, transcribes the four Gospels in Latin with intricate Celtic patterns and illustrations, drawing many travelers specifically to see it. The visit usually begins with the Book of Kells exhibition before entering the Long Room of the Old Library: a 60-meter-long space where oak bookshelves stretch from the floor to the vaulted ceiling, housing around 200,000 ancient books. Marble busts of philosophers and writers line the wings, and a 15th-century harp, which inspired the harp on Ireland's national emblem, is displayed in the hall. Early Irish manuscripts like the Book of Durrow, also housed here alongside the Book of Kells, are equally worth a closer look. The college attracts a steady stream of travelers year-round, so to appreciate the details of the manuscripts, it's advisable to allow ample time and try to avoid peak crowds.Dublin · 42.7km from Wicklow

Powerscourt Manor is famous for its open and pleasant scenery, well-designed sculptures, terraces and pools.
