From humble beginnings as a Viking trading port to a walled medieval city and then - in a glorious century of expansion - to an elegant Georgian metropolis with wide streets, gracious squares and great houses, neatly bordered by its two canals, Dublin is a European city that will capture your heart.

Students and Faculty will visit the historical sites of the surrounding area through guided excursions.  Frequent walks to the city center are possible, which will provide a flavor and understanding of the culture that can only be experienced by venturing out.
