If you are anything like me and have ever searched for pictures of libraries to use as a desktop background, because libraries are the best, then you have seen the old Trinity College Library, even if you’ve never known about it. The long room with curved wooden ceiling and two floors packed with books is one of the most famous libraries in the world. I got the chance to visit it during my trip to Dublin and I have to tell you, it smells just as you can imagine from the pictures. Wood and old books, enough to get you high from breathing it in too deep. The library is actually marketed as the place to see the Book of Kells – a 9th century Christian manuscript and the number one popular attraction in Dublin. The book on display during my visit was a replica, but to tell you the truth, I wasn’t there to see one book, however old and impressive. I was there to see all the books.
Wow this place looks gorgeous!! I have never been to Dublin but when I go, I know for sure that this is going to be one of my first stops! 😍 I remember seeing a lovely library in Prague as well, but one that I really wanted to see (but was closed when I got the chance to visit) is the Stift Admont library in Austria, it seems amazing too!!
