Trinity College Library: A literary wonderland

Updated: Jun 21




I had the most incredible experience checking off one of my bucket list items at the Trinity College Library in Dublin! Let me take you on a quick virtual tour of this mesmerizing place that left me in complete awe!


As I stepped into the library, I couldn't help but be captivated by the grandeur of the room. The aura of wisdom and knowledge was palpable, surrounded by the busts of brilliant minds from throughout history. As a voracious reader, this was everything I thought it would be, and more and although the library was undergoing the meticulous process of book cleaning, which will take a whopping 2 years, it didn't dampen the magic of the moment. Every second spent in that spectacular room was absolutely worth it!


One highlight that left me breathless was gazing upon the magnificent Book of Kells. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this ancient manuscript transported me to another time.


But the adventure didn't stop there! Exploring the college itself was an absolute delight. Did you know that it was founded by none other than Queen Elizabeth I, one of my all-time favorite historical figures, a staggering 432 years ago? Talk about walking in the footsteps of legends!


Now, here's a fun tip for you explorers out there: don't be afraid to wander off the main paths! I may or may not have found myself in a dead end twice, but hey, that's all part of the adventure, right? Who knows, you might even stumble upon a spontaneous rugby match like I did!


So, if you ever find yourself in Dublin, make sure to add Trinity College Library to your must-visit list. Trust me, it's an experience you won't want to miss!


Until our next adventure, stay curious and keep exploring!
