What people are saying:
A great activity for those on a budget, and one which can easily be squeezed into a weekend itinerary. It's located near the National Gallery and a few other museums. Not many tourists venture here, but it's free to enter, open everyday, and there's a lot to see. Just be aware that you have to remove your belongings and lock them in a locker before entering. The award winning exhibitions which are housed here are also free to enter and extremely interesting. It's worth admiring the beautiful architecture of the outside too.

The National Library of Ireland is also known as the Trinity College Library. It is one of the oldest libraries in Europe. When you come to this library, you seem to have come to the magical world of Harry Potter. The pure wooden structure of the library is divided into two levels, and the aisles are full of statues of famous Irish scholars and scientists. Here you will feel the strong fragrance of books and the accumulation of profound knowledge and culture. It is definitely a place not to be missed when visiting Dublin.
The National Library of Ireland is very inconspicuous. If you don't follow the map, it is difficult to find it here. The library is a very quiet place. This building has a history of 200 years. The reading atmosphere inside is very good, so you can go in and take a look without disturbing others.
This library is very large and contains a lot of books. The entire library is circular, giving people an all-encompassing feeling.
