Dublin - A Gemstone on the Crown of Republic of Ireland

The Irishman

Holiday in Dublin:

Dublin - The capital city of Republic of Ireland is one of the very beautiful cities of the world. One of the well maintained, neat and clean city of Europe.

River Lifley flows through the city with panoramic view of buildings and river banks.

My stay of 50+ days in the city and my place of stay was at an apartment called -Gasometer, which had been converted to an splendid apartment from a Gas holder or a Gas container. The entire stay was a memorable one with cherished memories.

Since, we were at the center of the city, we had the advantage of travelling around the city conveniently. For fellow travellers, Dublin Bus Tour is one of the best option available to go around the city, Hop on, hop off at desired places. Visit Glendalough which is nearby.

Places to Visit in Dublin:

One of the best Sunday morning, we visited St. Stephen green which had been created in the Year 1664 in an area of 22 acres.

The park is at the center of the city, with landscapes, tailor made garden, flowing streams and flowering lillies.

It is worth spending half a day or more and small children playing here and there with lovely sounds, people enjoying the natural beauty and fresh air all around.

For the nature lovers, this is a place of delight to get back to nature from the hustle and bustle of the city life.

If you happen to Travel to Dublin dont forget to go this park and have a nice time with family and friends. Even if you are solo backpaker, still it is worth visiting to get to nature's bed.

From Stephen Green - most of the Tourist destinations are close by including the city center. Therefore, plan in such a way, you can cover multiple places on a single day.
