If you are interested in information about the Dublin area, pick up some pamphlets at Waterways Visitor Centre.

Freshwater lakes offer lots of activities for visitors of all ages. From walks to wildlife watching, there's always fun to be had. River Dodder, The Forty Foot and River Liffey are the most frequented. Find out which one best suits your needs before heading over for a great afternoon by the water.

The area's exhibition spaces are a treasure trove of intriguing facts and stories. Savor the quiet and relaxing atmosphere as you admire the displays at the National Gallery of Ireland at Merrion Square and the National Museum of Natural History. The Book of Kells and the Dublin Writers Museum are also worth looking at.

Maritime history enthusiasts can get their bearings at the National Maritime Museum of Ireland, a treasure trove of important nautical artifacts. If the winds permit, continue sailing through this region's seafaring traditions at the National Maritime Institute Museum.

You don't have to be a rocket scientist to get a kick out of the scientific objects and discoveries presented at the Science Gallery.
