The college's cobbled courtyards and ivy-covered walls have witnessed the footsteps of some of the world's greatest writers, including Oscar Wilde, Jonathan Swift, and Bram Stoker.

The Guinness Storehouse: A Literary Pub Crawl
No visit to Dublin would be complete without a pint of Guinness at the iconic Guinness Storehouse. This seven-story interactive museum tells the story of Ireland's most famous beer, from its humble beginnings to its global success. But the Guinness Storehouse is also a literary landmark, as it was once home to the St. James's Gate Brewery, where James Joyce worked as a copywriter. Joyce immortalized the brewery in his novel "Ulysses," and visitors to the Guinness Storehouse can still see the desk where he wrote.

St. Patrick's Cathedral is a beautiful example of Gothic architecture, and it is home to a number of important religious artifacts, including the Shrine of St. Patrick. The cathedral has also been a source of inspiration for many writers, including Jonathan Swift, who was the Dean of St. Patrick's from 1713 to 1745.
