Trinity College, Dublin, is one of the oldest universities in the British Isles, and the oldest in Ireland. Founded in 1592 by Queen Elizabeth 1st, the College is in an enviable position in the very heart of Ireland's capital.

During the summer vacation between the middle of June and the end of September the College opens up its 800 residential rooms on the historic city centre campus for visitors. The accommodation available within the campus reflects the various architectural periods during which the College has been in existence. The rooms range from older traditional student style accommodation in buildings of character, right up to modern buildings where the rooms have private bathroom facilities. The varying styles of accommodation ensure that there is something suitable for all tastes and budgets. The truly unique location ensures that Trinity is an ideal place to base yourself when you visit Dublin city. One of the leading visitor attractions, the Book of Kells is housed on the campus, and Trinity itself is within walking distance of shops, other major visitor attractions, theatres, cinemas, museums and libraries. Standing on a self contained site, the College itself covers some 35 acres of cobbled squares and green spaces surrounded by buildings which represent the accumulated architectural riches of nearly three centuries. Some of the most famous people in Irish history were educated at Trinity; writers like Dean Swift and Samuel Beckett; scientists like Rowan Hamilton the mathematician,and E.T.S. Walton, who won the Nobel Prize for his work on the atom. Other graduates include Ireland's first president Douglas Hyde, and, more recently, Mary Robinson, the first female president of the country.
