Review: VISIT TO DUBLIN ? FEBRUARY 2006
Travel - By sea or air.
Dublin City - steeped in history, beautiful buildings, bustling and exciting city with the grand River Liffey running through its heart. This is how I would describe this truly magnificent city. The people are warm, friendly, hospitable and welcoming.
The City Bus Tour is the perfect way to view the sights, experience the history and culture.
Phoenix Park is the largest park in Europe, covering 1762 acres. The park is mainly grassland, but also includes the residence of the Irish President, Dublin Zoo and the tall obelisk, known as the Wellington Monument.
A ?must see? is the Guinness Factory Tour - the original brewery was built in 1904 and has brewed Guinness ever since. The Guinness site has expanded over the years to facilitate the growth of the business. The tour includes a biography of its creator, Arthur Guinness, and the history of Guinness and its production.
A modern landmark, The Dublin Spire, stands 102 metres tall making it the tallest structure in Dublin city. It was commissioned as part of a Millennium project for Dublin and was erected in January 2003.
Eating out in Dublin you will find traditional Irish fare, A La Carte and worldwide cuisine available at varying prices at extensive eateries throughout the city.
Away from the city, a natural vantage point, Howth Head, gives views across Dublin Bay and the Wicklow mountains.
I thoroughly enjoyed my holiday to this historic and charming city. |
