EC Dublin - language school in Ireland

EC Dublin Language School is close to all of Dublin's major attractions and public transport links. Just a few minutes walk away and you can experience the past at the medieval quarter or Dublin Castle or for lunch at Dublin's oldest pub, Brazen Head.

Dublin is the capital of Ireland and a city with centuries of history. Nearly half of all Ireland's attractions are in Dublin. These include Dublin Castle, St Patrick's Cathedral, Guinness Beer Museum, Dublin Zoo, National Aquatics Centre, Kell Book at Trinity College, Kilmahan Prison Museum and more. The city has produced many literary talents such as Bernard Shaw, Jonathan Swift, Oscar Wilde, James Joyce and Samuel Beckett. Dublin has plenty of shops, restaurants and bars to keep you entertained. One of the most famous areas is Temple Bar, famous for its density of bars - literally one bar per square metre.
