No. 4 of Best Things to Do in Ireland

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.Ireland · Dublin

The Cliffs of Moher are formed by the movement of the earth's crust and the impact of the Atlantic Ocean's raging waves. They are an unparalleled masterpiece of nature. Everyone who comes here will be impressed by its ingenuity. The highest point of the cliff is more than 200 meters above sea level. The cliff faces the vast Atlantic Ocean and is famous for its strangeness and danger. It spans 214 meters across the Atlantic Ocean and is 8 kilometers along the west coast of the Atlantic Ocean. It is spacious and vast, with strong winds. It is refreshing to climb up and look far into the distance.

I recommend driving there, and be sure to go on a clear day; the scenery is just as stunning as the Cliffs of Moher. If possible, rent a campervan and stay there to watch the sunrise and sunset.

Worth a visit. I did a self guided tour but you can also book a guide to give you information if you wish. You can’t take rucksacks in with you, but there are free lockers available.

Powerscourt Manor is famous for its open and pleasant scenery, well-designed sculptures, terraces and pools. Around the pool, exquisite ironware can be seen everywhere, Italian sculptures and Italian-style ramps are scattered in an orderly manner, and the simple and elegant fan-shaped building in the center of the manor is even more distinctive.

Blarney Castle, located just outside Cork, Ireland, is a must-visit destination that beautifully encapsulates the country's rich history and enchanting beauty. The highlight of the castle is, of course, the famous Blarney Stone, which is said to bestow the “gift of gab” upon those who kiss it, which of course I did!

Berlin, Germany is a well-known city with a beautiful environment and unique architectural style. Fortunately, Germany is now far away from the shadow of the Nazis, and peace is the main theme.
