Marsh’s Library

For book lovers, a trip to Marsh’s Library is essential when visiting Dublin. The phenomenal building is over 300 years old and is ripe with history inside.

In fact, it was the very first public book collection in Ireland back in 1707. Whether you’re searching for a particular book or stopping by to appreciate the 18th-century architecture, you’re in for a real treat.

The gallery walls are lined with deep mahogany wood bookshelves where over 25,000 classics are stored. There’s even a secret garden to explore! Without a doubt, this is one of Dublin’s most fascinating attractions.
