Dublin Treasure Hunt, Ireland

Dublin is known for its friendliness, beauty, architecture and literary connections. It is a vibrant and fun European city and makes a top venue for a corporate treasure hunt.

Dublin was officially founded in the 10th century but there is evidence for settlement on the site which dates back to 800 years earlier. During the middle ages, the town was hotly contested by the Danes and the Irish and frequently changed hands. It was not until Oliver Cromwell took over the city that Dublin began top really flourish, becoming the second city of the British Empire during the 18th century. At the start of the 19th century, the Act of Union took away the powers of the Irish Parliament and with it went the status of Dublin. After the irish uprisings in the early 20th century, Dublin once again became the political centre of the Irish republic after havin seen some of the worst of the fighting.

Dublin is Ireland's major seaport and manufacturing town, probably the most famous employer in the city is Guiness. The beauty of Dublin is enhanced by the numerous 18th and 19th century buildings that have survived.

One of the first things that springs into the mind of many people at the mention of Dublin is the folk song 'Molly Malone', however there are many more links to illustrious figures of literature such as James Joyce (Ullysses), Jonathan Swift (gulliver's travels), Oliver Goldsmith, WB Yeats and of course the Jonathan Ross look-alike ... Oscar Wilde! There are many more too, maybe it was the guiness that worked its magic, who knopws. But whatever, the diversity of commerce and the arts makes Dublin such an interesteing city to explore so get yourselves out and explore the streets of Dublin with our Dublin treasure hunt ...
