A May 2003 trip to Dublin by licatica

If you are fan of the band U2 as I am, this is the perfect place to go. Or if you are more into history, ocean views, and fairy tales you will dream of this place forever.

Overview

This resort is only 15 minutes away from Dublin, which is a nice and easy to go city. This resort area has beautiful streets to walk, fantastic restaurants, and the pub where sometimes Bono goes to. Bono's house is only 5 minutes away and you can go and leave him presents. Walking from the resort you can go to a park in a hill were you can see all Dublin's bay.

Quick Tips:

Definitely one of the best things to do is enjoy the Irish culture. The friendliness of their people will help you travel without problem.

When you go to Dublin, take the city bus - it will cost you 12 euro and it's the fastest way to travel. If you like souvenirs, the bus will stop in O'Connor's - it's a big store full of anything you could ask of an Irish gift. Walking in the same street you will find the university and also many shops wile you walk. Don't forget that for 9 euro you may visit the Guinness factory...mmmmm.

Best Way To Get Around:

The city has taxi, train and bus. If you want to visit another area than Dublin, the train is the fastest. For example, from Dublin to Cork it cost 50 euro for a two-way ticket and you can go and visit the last place that the Titanic touched in Europe Cove. The bus is nice because you can travel watching all the beautiful landscape that Ireland offer to us.
