A Visitors Guide To Dublin Ireland
By Thomas Smith
You are going to Dublin, Ireland. Maybe it is your first trip or maybe you are a return visitor. Either way it is always a good idea to make a few travel plans before you pack your bags.
Here are some things you may want to know about before you get on the plane: The weather can be tricky, even the forecasters seem to have trouble getting it right. You will find that the weather in is nothing if not changeable. It may be sunny one moment and then rainy, cloudy or even snowy the next. That being said, the coldest months are usually January and February. There is not a lot of snow in Ireland but when it does snow, everything pretty much comes to a standstill. July and August are the warmest months but this does not mean hot.
There may not be one outstanding attraction in but that does not mean there are not plenty of things to see and do. Check out both sides of the River Liffey and you will be able to keep pretty busy. At the bottom of Grafton Street is the Molly Malone statue.
The best shopping in is close to the Molly Malone Statue so you may want to see the statue and shop on the same day. The south side of the River Liffey is where the most popular museums are located as well. If you want to see a beautiful cathedral or two you will find them in this region, too.
Dont forget about the north side of the river. Here you will find a fascinating atmosphere on Henry Street and Moore Street. Tourists seem to enjoy this area and you can visit museums and find good places to eat. If you enjoy spending time in a park, you are in for a treat. The Phoenix Park is a great park and is actually larger than Hyde Park and Central Park.
One of the largest city parks in the world is located in Dublin. The Phoenix Park has 1730 acres and is bigger than both Central
Park and Hyde Park.
If your pocketbook starts to run low there are things you can do in that are not expensive. Save some money at the movies when you go before 6pm. For cheaper travel in the city of you can take the inter-city rail network. When you take the inter-city rail network you can stop at places of interest.
