Dublin''s economic boom, combined with its cultural zest and vitality, make it the place to be in the 21st century. High tech firms have set up shop throughout Ireland to take advantage of the educated population and relatively low wages. As a result one-third of all PC's in Europe are now made in Ireland and the country has become the Silicon Valley of the UK. With such economic growth, it's no wonder Ireland is referred to as the Celtic Tiger. Nowhere else in Europe or the UK will you witness such a furious building pace and zeal to expand a city as you will in Dublin. The city is split in half by the river Liffey: the north side, historically the working class part of town and the south which has always been home to the bankers and brokers of the day. Today, both sides are experiencing the fortune of a healthy economy and the desire to renew. The south side is home to Temple Bar, where you''ll find a concentration of pubs, restaurants, shops, and galleries. Nearby, Trinity College looms large at the Southern end of Grafton St, the city''s most exclusive shopping street. The north side is adding shopping and housing as part of the Docklands redevelopment plan. Ha''penny Bridge is only one of the many bridges that link the two sides of this picturesque waterway. Walking is the best way to experience Dublin''s many pleasures. You''ll see Dublin''s famed stately Georgian homes situated around Merrion Square. And even if you don''t drink you''ll enjoy the convivial experience of the Dublin pub scene. This is the only map we publish which contains a special index list of pubs!
