Best places to visit
Dublin
Dublin is an amalgamation of everything that is good about Ireland. History & culture, scenery and shenanigans, the Capital has something to offer for everyone. For the history buffs there’s Castles, Cathedrals and Trinity College. For culture chasers, there’s live music on every corner. For party animals, you won’t find a better atmosphere than in Temple Bar. A trip to Dublin isn’t one you’ll soon forget.
If there’s one thing Irish people are known for, it’s their gift of the gab. Legend has it, this is due to a block of carboniferous limestone built into the Blarney Castle, better known as “The Blarney Stone”. Irish Folklore states that anyone that kisses the stone will be endowed with the gift of the gab, and it’s definitely worked for the Irish. The second largest city in Ireland gained prominence during the age of the Norse (Viking) settlers, as the city is blessed with having one of the largest natural harbours in the world.
