 scene from Trinity
College by sue_stone
The college is situated in the heart of Dublin, and is a really interting place to take a seat and do some pople watching.
There are beautiful buildings and a well kept green along with a 30m high Campanile.
The main attraction of Trinity College is the Book of Kells, which is housed in the library, and can only be visited if you pay for a guided tour of the college.
The Book of Kells is an illuminated manuscript which dates back to around AD 800, making it one of the oldest books in the world! Leave a Comment

 Trinity College by Cruefan
You can also visit the " Dublin experience" which is located on campus to quote:
"the Dublin Experience is a major multi-media show which relates the history of Irelands' Capital city through the most modern mediums available. A dramatic script, stunning photography and evocative music combine to give visitors and Dubliners alike an unsurpassed introduction to the city. The Dublin Experience operates from mid May until the end of September, 7 days a week with shows on the hour every hour 10a.m. to 5p.m."
And of course a walking tour of the campus given by Trinity students.. worth a visit. Leave a Comment Phone: +353 1 6081000Directions: Over the O'Connell Bridge towards Grafton Str.Website: http://www.tcd.ie/

It's a great exhibition and well worth a visit.
The library is beautiful but unfortunately photography is not allowed.

 Trinity College by kentishgirl
Most visitors will come her to see the "Book Of Kells", in the Collonades exibition gallery and the long room, a huge library housing tons of books.
There is also a tour you can take during the summer, this tells the story od Dublin and its people from the Viking times. Leave a Comment

 Main entrance to Trinity
College by SabrinaSummerville
It is accessed right from the centre of the south side of the city, with the main entrance right opposite another very lovely building, Bank of ireland College Green.
If you walk through the gates and under the main archway you will find yourself in a delightful cobbled courtyard surrounded by period college buildings.
The infamous Book of Kells is housed in Trinity and is well worth a visit of its own for the sheer beauty of the illumination of the manuscript.
During college holidays you can rent accomodation rooms here. They are very basic but it's such fun to stay on the campus and imagine you're a student again. Leave a Comment

Trinity College was founded by Queen Elizabeth I in 1592. It is the oldest university in Ireland and it still is the top ranked university in the country. Many of Ireland's most famous authors are Trinity College alumni, including Samuel Beckett, Bram Stoker, Jonathan Swift, Oscar Wilde and Oliver Goldsmith, whose statue can be seen near the main entrance. The campus is quite beautiful and makes for a very pleasant walk. Trinity College's most famous attraction is the "Book of Kells", which is housed in the university's Old Library. The best deal if you're visiting Trinity College is to buy a guided campus tour/Old Library combo ticket. Admission to the Old Library is 9 Euros, while a campus tour/Old Library ticket costs 10 Euros. Unfortunately, this is the one thing I didn't have time to do during my week in Ireland, but I did enjoy walking around the campus on my own. Leave a Comment
