Rick Steves' Europe (2000)

Episode Overview

Dublin's tale weaves together feasting and hardship, spanning from its 18th-century Golden Age through the struggles for independence in the 20th century to its current prosperity. We delve into the city's imposing castle, a jail steeped in patriotism, and Trinity College, home to the illuminating Book of Kells from the Dark Ages. As night falls, we revel in Temple Bar, alive with Celtic melodies and frothy pints of Guinness. Our journey also takes us to the ancient burial site of Newgrange and the medieval monastery nestled in the picturesque Wicklow Mountains at Glendalough.
