Dublinia Viking Museum - Dublin Ireland
Dublinia Viking Museum in Dublin is an interesting museum to visit on any trip to the capital. It contains an amazing array of displays that charts the history of the Vikings in Ireland - Medieval Dublin. This Viking experience is one of the top things to do in the city and great for families. There is a Viking house and Viking ship to see!
Dublinia Viking Museum is located at the crossroads of the medieval city at Christchurch, the point where modern and old Dublin are believed to meet. The main reason behind bringing this museum to life is to reveal the old history of Dublin in an exciting way that would bring all people to share, engage, and learn something before they leave the place.
Inside Dublinia Viking Museum, there are four different exhibitions for one to enter and through which the visitor will come out with some information about the citizens of Dublin throughout the history by visiting the vikings and medieval Dublin, see archaeology as a history hunter, and climb the St. Michael's tower.
What we enjoyed the most about visiting this place is that we immediately felt that we have traveled back in time once we stepped in to know more about viking in Dublin and its history. Inside this place, you will not only get introduced to the history of the vikings but you will also get the chance to try their clothes, get on board of a viking warship, know more about their skills and see their weapons, visit a cramped viking house, become a slave, and even learn their alphabet and hear their poetry and sagas; you could actually become a real viking through your visit to this place.
The second part in the museum will also provide you with the same kind of experience, which is the Medieval Dublin. In this part, you will also get the chance to travel back to that time and learn more about the warfare, the crime and punishment, death and disease and you might even get introduced to some of the remedies which were used more than 700 years back, such as the remedy for toothache. Inside the medieval fair of the museum, you will also learn about the games of that time, enjoy the spicy aroma, visit the kitchen of a rich merchant and walk through one of the streets of that time.
We believe that this museum is one of the different important things to do in Dublin, Ireland, because of all the things it will bring and inform you with, just in the same way it did to us. In addition to stepping inside the old world of the vikings and the medieval times, we were also taken through the exhibition that showed us how the history hunters are trying to dig deep behind information to uncover the history if Ireland through knowing more about the lifestyles of their ancestors. There are skeletons, maps, and even voices of the old language that will bring people to the point where they will compare the past and the present and try to see how the past actually managed to influence the present.
Coming to the last part of this museum is the St. Michael's Tower and which is a real old medieval tower that has been renovated and is now part of the Dublinia Viking Museum that let people climb 96 steps to come to the point where they will be able to view Dublin city from above, learn more about the history of this tower and also get the chance to know more about the surrounding area.
The best thing about this museum - according to what we have seen inside - is the idea of having those people dressed in customized clothes that look like the ones worn in the old days and they also take specific roles to give the visitors that feeling that they have really stepped in the medieval or viking times - they appear as actors, so you might find beggars, vikings, etc.
This place is open all year long - of course apart from the 24th, 25th, and 26th of December - so you will always get the chance to visit it anytime you are visiting Dublin but make sure you are keeping up with the working hours in order not to mix things up. The Dublinia Viking Museum opens from 10 AM until 6:30 PM from March to September and the last entry allowed is at 5:30 PM. The other half of the year, October to February, this place opens from 10 AM to 5:30 PM and the last entry allowed is at 4:30 PM. It is always better to give this place about 90 minutes in your schedule when you are visiting Dublin city and doing a little bit of tourism there.
Dublin city, the capital of Ireland, is a place to attract lots of tourists to it for the several attractions and landmarks that one could come across and see. There is the Merrion square in Dublin which is all about the history of the place and the garden found in it ( there is also the Four Courts along the River Liffey ( one could manage to visit the Molly Malone statue ( and get introduced to this rich city through other places and other ways (

Dublin Medieval Charm and Georgian Splendour
This award winning DVD documentary film by Aidan Doyle on Dublin is presented and narrated by Cathal O'Shannon, one of Ireland's best known and respected documentary film presenter. The film, with a captivating music score by Ken Tuohy, is an ideal reference for tourists, students and all who live in Dublin or visit this great city. The Vikings landed north of Dublin on Lambay Island in 795 A.D. Half a century later their boats sailed up the River Liffey. They settled on its banks and named their settlement Dyfflin. Two centuries later the Normans invaded Ireland. Cathal O'Shannon's superb narration, together with realistic illustrations, captures the atmosphere of these periods in Dublin's turbulent history. The history of Christ Church and St. Patrick's Cathedrals is covered in great detail. Cathal visits Trinity College, home of the Book of Kells and covers the history of Gandon's famous buildings, The Custom House, The Four Courts and Parliament Buildings. Cathal takes a horse and carriage trip around the great Georgian Squares, Fitzwilliam and Merrion and outlines their history. Also covered is the rise and fall of Charles Stewart Parnell, the Phoenix Park murders of 1882, the 1913 workers strike and the Howth Gun Running episode culminating in the events of Easter Week 1916. This is illustrated with a superb collection of photographs courtesy of the various national archives. In Kilmainham Gaol Cathal tells the tragic story of Joseph Mary Plunkett who married Grace Gifford only hours before his execution in 1916. The War of Independence, the leadership of Michael Collins, and the Irish Civil war in Dublin is also included. Finally Cathal visits some of Dublin's most famous pubs associated with great Irish writers. He relaxes with a pint in Ireland's oldest pub, The Brazen Head Inn, and tells of the famous visitors who frequented it over the centuries.

The first Viking settlement of Dublin (Dyflinn)
When the Viking longboats sailed into the River Liffey during the 9th century they built a longphort (ship harbour). It was also built on south bank of the River Liffey and would be used as a winter camp.
When the Vikings began to settle in the area their settlement became known as Dyflinn. The strategic position of Dyflinn was perfect, located down river so it was further in-land but was also easily accessible from the sea. The used their settlement as a base for performing more in-land raids on places such as Leinster and Meath.
The vikings ruled Dublin for almost 3 centuries but their demise began with the battle of Clontarf in 10th century and then the arrival of anglo-norman troops in 11th Century ended their reign.
