Dublin enjoys a full and varied cultural and intellectual life, which brings together the best of traditional Ireland and of modern Europe. Fashionable boutiques and smart restaurants exist alongside second-hand bookshops, street markets, fast food outlets and ethnic eateries of all kinds, many located in the famous Temple Bar area opposite the front entrance to Trinity. If evenings don't find you in the Berkeley Library, you're likely to be out enjoying one of the many and varied Dublin nightspots. With one of the youngest populations of Europe's major cities, Dublin offers a great social atmosphere. A notable feature of Dublin life is the tradition of live music in every conceivable venue, from street buskers to traditional Irish music pubs to the National Concert Hall. Within easy reach of the city center is the ferry to Britain and Dublin Airport with discount airlines offering excellent fares to Europe.
