‘One Guinness, Please!’

EUROPA TOUR- track 10
country: Ireland
city:Dublin
money: Euro
Date: 04/22/2011 (By plane, 2.5hr from Barcelona)
To Date: 04/26/2011

One Guinness, Please’, was the phrase that I said on my 5 day vacation in Dublin. This city is hardly recommended for beer lovers. I've found they make one of the best beers. I've drunk so far. Moreover it does not contain too much alcohol, only 4.2, that means, you can drink carefree haha. This Guinness beer, is the most important in Ireland, and it has a lof of publicity around the city.

The city has a lot tourist attractions, highlights the visit to Guinness Storehouse, Dublina Museum and St Patrick Church. Also there are medieval buildings and a beautiful walk about River Liffey. About parks, The Phoenix Park is the largest urban park in Europe. The Sant Stephen's Green and Merrion Square are beautiful too. You need more than a day to enjoy this travel.

The city centre , has a very good family turist ambient, you can see much moving young people. The principal streets, are O'Connell Street, Grafton Street, Henry Street, they are most important. The centre is possible explored on foot, but there are a good urban bus service (You must pay the correct price, as do not give change) and tram.

The weather in these days was spectacular, without classics rains of the zone. At night the temperature drops a bit, but if there is not wind, with just a little jacket. This days dawned at 06:00 and got dark at 20:30.

The night: All attention of center, is 'The Temple Bar', it's not very large, only 4 or 5 streets, and transverses. In this zone, are all bars (Free access), with live music on almost all. The price of beer is 5 euros (50 ml) average, and the party begins 21:00hs to 03:00hs, after, you can find another place outside this zone, for continue the party. Thuersday to sunday, are the bets days, you can a lot see tourists english and spanish.

I Recommend: The Temple Bar visit is default, not i will say nothing about it. For the lovers beer, The Guinness Storehouse, is a very good moment. The Phoenix Park, and St Stephen's park. Dublina, is a little museum viking-medieval, is really great this visit. For my taste, is an museum very interesting. The Church, was a catholic church, but in the actually is restaurant and discotheque, is perfect for enjoy the good music and company.

I didn't do: Make a travel for outside the city, for see the famous and impressive ' The Moher Cliffs'. About Museums, maybe the library. And see all The Phoenix Park, i recommend rent a bicycle.

For finish, i can say that The Dublin city, i liked very much. There are a lot moving young in all sites, Irish people, are kind with tourist. The prices in general, are not more expensive (you can ate on restaurant with 10 euros for each). It a good travel for do in group, and know nearby villages. Is an spectacular landscape, you can see castles, medieval bridge...

Curiosity 1 : The guinness beer serve first ¾ the glass, and leave it on the bar. After few minutes, the remaining ¼ …but the wait paid off.

Curiosity 2: The Guinnes Book, was created for solve all drunken discussions in the Irish Pubs.

See you later!!!, of course!!!

Travel Tips: The airport is an 7 km to the city. There is bus service (6 e), or you can take bus urban (2,5 e), but this has more one hour to travel.

PD: Photos in Facebook

Bonus: One day in Belfast

Belfast is the capital to North Ireland, is located at 2,5 hours de Dublín on Bus (22e i/v). The truth is good idea know the city, is very nice, with much history about the political wars. Remember carry lbs, as it's the official money. Personally, is feeling you are in England, but not in Ireland, don't see local national flag, if not The flag United Kingdom. There are famous Murals distributed in all city. Also there are shopping's centers , with excellents prices for buy all you like LOL… In the centre city there are moderns buildings and older buildings. The street´s are very clean, so i thing you need two days for see all more important things.

Another data: it´s the city where The Titanic was builder.
