Bernd Biege has an excellent piece online about Dublin's top attractions.

Even if you have just one day in Dublin, make sure not to miss any of the Top Ten Sights! Most are within easy reach of the city center or will be part of a bus tour.

Top of the list? Trinity College, founded in 1592 by Queen Elizabeth I on the grounds of an Augustinian priory. There's St. Patricks Cathedral, the National Museum, Kilmainham Jail and a few other places.

My favorite? Temple Bar. We can have a Guinness….
