DUBLIN IRELAND VACATIONS!
Dublin is unique among the capital cities of
Europe. It is on the sea with a bay of harbors and swimming
areas; it lies nestled among hills and mountains; and
it contains Phoenix Park, the largest park on the European
continent. Dublin’s streets have been described
as bustling and lively. They have also been called congested.
As all of these descriptions are accurate, the excitement
of the city can best be enjoyed by moving from point to
point via the comfort and convenience of local bus and
rail service.
Within half an hour of Dublin’s city center
there are mountain walks, historic homes and gardens,
sandy beaches and fishing villages. Within Dublin are
countless places of interest to explore. It is a city
steeped in history and tradition, but it is also youthful.
Of the one and a half million people in greater Dublin,
about half are under 25. It is a city that welcomes visitors
of all ages. Activities for the family include enjoyment
of the nature preserve, the grazing deer, the 700 animal
zoo, and the well tended, formal gardens of Phoenix Park.
There is a hands-on center where children can design and
produce pottery pieces.
Fine museums and art galleries recall Dublin’s
long and colorful history, while the pubs and cafes buzz
with traditional Irish entertainment. Trinity College,
St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Dublin Castle, Christchurch
Cathedral are all at the top of almost every visitor’s
list. Dublin’s many other attractions range from
sea world, museums and art galleries to the prestigious
Guiness Brewery and the Temple Bar, which is the center
of restaurants and nightlife...
