Leinster House is where the Dail, or Parliament, meets. Built in 1745 as a Duke's palace, it is flanked by the National Museum. This one takes about 10 minutes of a walk.

The National Museum features those other great masterpieces of the Land of Saints and Scholars - the Tara Brooch, the Ardagh Chalice and the Lismore Crozier. The Museum also houses Europe's finest and most extensive collection of Stone Age through Iron Age gold artifacts.

Trinity College was founded by Elizabeth the First, but it's present Georgian architechtural look comes from the 1700's. Swift, Wilde and Beckett all attended Trinity as lecturers or pupils.

The Book of Kells is now located at a special museum in Trinity College. Trinity College is roughly a 15 minute walk.

No doubt about it - The Book of Kells is Ireland's greatest national treaure. A masterpiece and a work of transcendant power. Unfortunately, the Book of Kells only reveals its wonders close up. As in burying your nose 5 inches away and letting the monkish masters of the 8th century Ireland whirl you away. Best seen real early when the crowds haven't appeared or on a drizzly winter's day. A good reason for a personal tour.

Dublin Castle was the adminstrative centre of Dublin and Ireland since 1204. You can tour the ancient keep deep beneath the present Georgian buildings and visit the magnificent state reception rooms.

The ancient cobblestoned streets of Temple Bar is Dublin's cultural centre. Theatres, pubs, restaurants offering everything from sushi to Irish stew, art galleries and Irish music. Temple Bar and Dublin Castle are both a 15 minute stroll.

When you get tired of the hum of activity, a short walk or bus ride brings you home to Kilronan House for a relaxed pause - before the city's exuberant night life begins. Our spacious lounge is a lovely place to meet fellow guests.

The beauty of Kilronan House's location is that it is in the quieter Georgian quarter of Dublin - yet just a short walk to the bustling heart of the city.
