Dublin
Liffey River city
Dublin is the capital and largest city of Ireland, situated on the east coast at the mouth of the River Liffey.
It serves as the country's cultural, economic, and political center, home to about a third of Ireland's population in its greater metropolitan area.
The city is known for its Georgian architecture, literary heritage, and pub culture.
We spent a week exploring Dublin's historic neighborhoods. (Lowercase dublin is not standard usage.)
