The county city and capital of Ireland, Dublin is popular with Russian tourists for three reasons. Firstly, a sufficient number of attractions have been preserved here to spend a full-fledged vacation or a short vacation. Secondly, tours to Dublin are a great opportunity to enjoy shopping, which is much more interesting than all other races in the shops of the Old World due to more pleasant prices. And, finally, Guinness is brewed in Dublin and Irish stew is cooked, and what else is needed for the happiness of a respected person who decided to fly to Europe for a short time?
History with geography
Ptolemy first mentioned the settlement on the site of the modern Irish capital back in the 2nd century, and the Scandinavians laid the local fortress walls in 840. For the Vikings, the city was a reliable stronghold, until the Celts "asked" them to adhere to a slightly different policy and did not impose their own rules of the game.
In the Middle Ages, the inhabitants of Dublin were mowed down more than once by the plague and exterminated by constantly flaring wars on religious grounds. In the end, the Protestants won, and by the end of the 17th century, the city became the Irish capital.
Briefly about the important
- Airplanes from the capital of Russia fly to Dublin both directly and with docks in Europe. By high-speed bus tour participants to Dublin can reach the city center in less than half an hour from both the air terminal and the train station. Electric trains are also the main means of transportation around the city. They run from early morning until midnight, successfully competing with taxis, the prices of which are very inhumane.
- You can taste Irish stew in any institution, but if a participant on a tour to Dublin is used to counting money in his own pocket, he should turn off the central hiking trails. This way you can not only save money, but also plunge into an authentic Irish environment. In the evenings and weekends, you should beware of getting into too warm a company and being late for the airport or for tomorrow's city tour.
- Ireland's climate does not imply beach holidays or traditional winter activities. It is relatively flat throughout the year and winter +8 in the afternoon are imperceptibly replaced by +19 in summer. There is little sun in the off-season, but in June-August, participants on tours to Dublin get a real chance to see what the signature Irish green looks like on every lawn or lawn.
- Dublin Pass Discount Card allows you to significantly save on entrance and travel tickets and receive discounts at restaurants and even theaters. The resulting surplus will come in handy in pubs, as a pint of Guinness is not cheap, but worth a try!
