Dublin is the home to Ireland’s oldest and most prestigious university, Trinity College.

Visitors can explore the cobblestoned grounds of the college themselves or take a paid tour, which includes a visit to the college’s historic Old Library and entry to view the Book of Kells.

After you soak up all of Trinity’s history and culture, take a short-distanced walk back to the Alex to relax for the evening and reminisce on your day.

After a long day exploring Dublin’s Cultural Corner, relax and recharge in the comfort of your room at The Alex.

St. Stephens Green

St. Stephens Green is one of Dublin’s most breathtaking Victorian public parks. The park is filled to the brim with nature, boasting colourful flower beds, a huge variety of trees and many species of birds and animals. We recommend having a picnic and feeding the ducks at the park for a fun, family day out, if the weather allows of course!

Grafton Street, Ireland’s premiere shopping street, is located right adjacent to St. Stephen’s Green, offering guests the best shopping and coffee culture that Dublin has to offer!
