DUBLIN OPENS ITS DOORS


There’s always a great reason to go to Dublin. World class shopping. Café culture. Theatre. Markets. Landmark tourist destinations like Stephen’s Green and Trinity College. These and more attractions bring thousands of people to Ireland’s capital each year. This week though,  the city promises an exclusive revelation.  As part of the Dublin Festival season, Open House Dublin takes place from 4th-6th October, in association with the Irish Architecture Foundation. No less than 100 private and public buildings will open their doors for behind-the-scenes tours. Destinations include the historical General Post Office on O’Connell Street, Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital in Adelaide Street, Donnybrook Bus Garage, Dublin Port Centre, a private artisan cottage at Harty Place, architecturally renovated 1920’s home in Eaton Square Terenure,  Casino at Marino and Dublin’s Wholesale Fruit and Vegetable Market at Mary’s Lane.
