Trinity College houses the Book of Kells, an illuminated manuscript that makes modern graphic designers weep with inadequacy. St. Stephen's Green offers respite from Dublin's famously changeable weather, which locals discuss with the detailed analysis normally reserved for sports teams. Speaking of which, catch a match at Croke Park where Gaelic football fans demonstrate enthusiasm that makes American sports crowds seem positively sedate. The pubs of Temple Bar overflow with live music, though savvy visitors seek less touristy establishments where musicians play for love rather than tips.
