Dublin, the capital of Ireland, is situated on the east coast on the banks of the River Liffey, and is a thousand-year-old city that combines deep history with modern vigor. As the "City of Literature", Joyce, Yeats and other literary giants have written here, and the Kell Scriptures in the collection of Trinity College is a treasure of medieval manuscripts. Economically, Dublin is the hub of European technology and finance, with the European headquarters of multinational companies such as Google and Facebook located here, attracting global talent. Strolling through the streets, the Gothic spires of St. Patrick's Cathedral are mirrored by the modern buildings along the River Liffey, and the aroma of black beer from the Guinness brewery is intertwined with the street music of the Temple Bar district. The friendly and diverse atmosphere, excellent educational resources (Trinity College, University of Dublin) and easy access to public transportation make Dublin one of the most popular cities in Europe to live and start a business.
