The Capital of the Emerald Isle
Dublin, the epitome of all that is Irish.The capital of the Emerald Isle, cut in half by the famous River Liffey, will enchant the most ardent traveller. The city’s rich heritage of beautiful Georgian buildings and fine mansions, wide streets and elegant spacious squares contrast ingeniously with the many public parks. Trinity College is probably one of the most famous landmarks with its distinguished cobbled stone quadrangles and imposing grey college buildings.
Much of Ireland’s literary genius was spawned in the bars and pubs of the city and no visitor should miss sampling the famous ‘Black Stuff’at the Guinness Storehouse, or even the smooth Irish Whisky at the Old Jameson Distillery.
The ‘fair city’ is not all steeped in history, discover on your city break to Dublin the shopping centre is a sheer delight, with pedestrianised areas such as Grafton Street. Department stores,antique shops, Powerscourt and St.Stephens Green are a must on anyone’s list.Whether your tastes are cultural, or you want to relax and enjoy the Irish welcome on a city break in Ireland, sample some excellent cuisine or traditional stout, the choice is yours.
A short break in Dublin is one that will not be forgotten. The people, the place, the party. If there’s one thing the Irish are known for, it’s enjoying themselves, no matter how long your visit is.
