One of the things I love about Dublin is that there is music everywhere! My musician wife has me in the habit of giving money to street musicians. I could go broke in Dublin!
Dublin exhaults writers and there are statues of writers, like this one of James Joyce, throughout the City.
The General Post Office (GPO) in Dublin is situated on O'Connell Street, the City's main thoroughfare. During the 1916 Easter Rising, the GPO was the headquarters of the leaders of the uprising, all of whom were subsequently executed. The building still has bullet holes.
