Comment from Philippa Burne

These days it might not look like your traditional idea of a castle, with all its additions and changes over the last few centuries, but the sole remaining medieval tower proves that Dublin Castle was once one of those fortified castles of our dreams.
Much of it is open to the public including two museums – The Garda (Police) Museum and The Revenue Museum (not as dull as it sounds: interactive smuggling games!), two gardens, the Chapel Royal, and The Chester Beatty Library, which is no stuffy bookish room but is filled with manuscripts, prints, icons, miniature paintings, and other treasures from around the world.
