Dublin is at the same time the centre of history and modernity. It has a world-famous literary history and it owns the biggest libraries, for example the National Library, and literary museums of all Ireland.

Well if you have curiosity about the Irish whiskey history, then you must go to the Old Jameson Distillery museum and find out more about this treasure.
