Dublin - city sights

The city has very few tall buildings.  Most of downtown is 6 stories or less.  It is an odd mix of modern glass buildings with interesting creative designs, old grey stone buildings, and old red brick houses.  The city is divided by the river Liffey (not very wide, but clearly navigable).  The white cable bridge is actually hinged on one side and swings 90 degrees horizontally so boats can pass by.

US Embassy.  Not nearly as attractive as some of the other embassies that we passed in the district that were built of historic red brick.

 Bridge over the Liffey River

 Old Customs house on the river - now home to the Environmental Agency - with future hope of becoming a museum.

 Office of the Prime Minister

 Gate to the Guinness factory - 

I'm sure David will post more photos and commentary when he goes back for a visit.

 President's residence (set within a public park that is twice the size of Central Park in NYC)

His neighbor is the US Ambassador (I don't know the story behind how the US ambassador's residence came to be in such a prime location).
