Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Med vores erfarne og licenseret tour guide begynder vi med en kort introduktionsforelæsning om Trinity College og dens historie fra 1592 og videre....
På Trinity College besøger vi The Book of Kells, en oplyst håndskrevet evangelium bog, der stammer fra det niende århundrede. Det betragtes som en af Irlands største kulturelle skatte og betragtes bredt som et eksempel på insular kunst. Bogen er et mesterværk i middelalderens bogfremstilling og indeholder indviklede designs, omfattende bogstaver og farverige illustrationer. Den består af fire evangelier: Matthew, Mark, Luke, og John, og er skrevet på latin. Book of Kells ligger på Trinity College Library i Dublin, Irland, hvor den ses af millioner af besøgende hvert år.
Vi står udenfor og passerer Bank of Ireland på College Green for et tidligere og måske mere ædelt eksempel på nyt formål i byens bygning. Stående på trafikøen på College Green og kigge op, er det svært ikke at blive imponeret. Det er den største bank, du nogensinde har set. Der er en kongelig rustning. Statuer af Hibernia (det latinske navn for Irland), trofasthed og handel. Og på jordniveau, et par kanoner. Oh, og en vagtkasse. De er alle ledetråde til denne bygnings tidligere rolle, fordi det i de første 61 år af dets liv var hjemsted for de irske parlamentshuse. Men i 1800, stemte det irske parlament sig ud af eksistensen, og dets tidligere lokaler blev Bank of Ireland's flagskib afdeling i 1803. Det havde en fantastisk historie i de tider af kolonisering og oprør. Bygningen var den første formålsbestemte bicameral parlamentshuse i Europa ("bicameral" betyder det havde to "kamre": et House of Commons og et House of Lords).
Et sidste historieforedrag om Dublin - 'Gennem tiderne' til statuen af Molly Malone ligger kort afstand fra hvor du begyndte på College Green og Trinity College. Molly Malone var en semi-historisk, semi-legendarisk figur, der blev mindet i sangen 'Cockles and Mussels', en Dublin-hymn. En fantastisk mulighed for billeder af dit besøg.

Michael ( Mick) was a fantastic guide. Exceptional knowledge and extremely personable. He loves history and this town, and it shows. We took Book of Kells tour an dDublin Castle. Dublin Castle is closed to the public for an extended period. You might want to check before booking the tour. Instead, Mick invited us to St. James, which is a must-visit. No regrets about Dublin Castle, plenty of other things to see, and great recommendations from Mick.
Met with Mick out lot tour guide who was very knowledgeable about the history of Ireland and the Book of Kells. The book itself is very impressive in how precise the writing and the graphics appeared after all these years. It almost looks AI generated how clean and precise each line of script appears on the page. Mind-blowing if you think that they were only had writing with quills. The Long Hall library will be closing in 2027 for a 4-year restoration while they digitize the indexing of the millions of books that are on the shelves which were almost empty when we got there. Lucky not to have to wait 5 years to see it. Overall a wonderful experience and Mick was great tour guide! Thank you Mick!
Sites were incredible, but Noel the tour guide made it even more so. His knowledge of history combined with a fantastic sense of humor was the perfect welcome to Ireland. Highly recommend.
Noel was a great guide. Very personable and funny. I had relatively low expectations for the Book of Kells, thinking “it’s just an old book”, but the entire exhibit and structure of everything really brought home why it’s such a treasured artifact. We got lots of info on the battle for Irish independence, some great pub and restaurant recommendations and the Long Room at Trinity was a real treat.
Marty was awesome! Tons of knowledge about the history of Ireland and great recommendations for food
Our guide was very kind. We knew it was all walking, and my husband can handle that but we stopped for long periods and just stood at most places, with no where to sit or move much. My husband made it but had we been able to sit anywhere at the talking points it would have been so much easier. No regrets we went. We did see and learn lots, but with my husband's back we just could have used more places to sit as we listened. With those without those limitations we certainly recommend this tour.
Excellent tour with Seamus. He was extremely knowledgeable in all the history and sites that we visited.
