DUBLIN, A SPECTACLE OF A CITY….
Dublin, the largest city and capital of Ireland, lies nestled around the mouth of the river Liffey and Dublin Bay on Ireland’s east coast. It is a historical and contemporary cultural centre for the island of Ireland; a strange mixture of the busy city center, outlying village-like communities and huge suburban estates as well as a modern centre of education, the arts, administrative function, economy and industry, all melting together into one big metropolitan sprawl. The laid-back Irish capital is a harmonious blend of Victorian bars, flat-fronted Georgian townhouses and glass-apartments, yet this city can look surprisingly dark and gloomy at first glance. However, as one delves deeper and deeper into the city, you find that this experience is a lot more than what you asked for!
CLIMATE
Dublin enjoys a maritime temperate climate characterized by mild winters, cool summers and fairly moderate rainfall. Dublin has a mild climate which makes a visit at any time of the year a pleasure with the hustle and bustle of Dublin life and the street scene to give you a flavor of the city.
TOURIST ATTRACTIONS
A vacation in Dublin is one of the hottest city breaks in Europe, as people pile into its old pubs and modern bars, shop in its thriving markets and malls, and relax in its trendy cafes while even apart from that the city has enough attractions to keep a visitor entertained for many days without too much exertion. The best places to visit are National Museum, Merrion Square, Dublin Castle, St Stephen’s Green, Iveagh Gardens, O’Connell Street and the Dublin City Gallery. Apart from these, there are Grand Canal Theatre, Abbey Theatre, Trinity College and Library, St Patrick’s Cathedral, Temple Bar and many more…
TRANSPORT
Dublin’s road network is commendable. It is a far more sensible idea to use the public transport that is
served by an extensive network of nearly 200 bus routes which serve all areas of the city and suburbs. However, bus services on weekends are far less frequent and at night only a few ‘nightlink’ buses are available.

AIRPORT
Dublin Airport is Ireland’s main international air hub and a lot of congestion issues had arisen at the airport due to strong traffic growth over the previous decade. However, the transformation programme that was implemented during 2006 to 2010 had worked on the airport with a budget of around 1.2 million to achieve sufficient air traffic management. The airport is operated and controlled by the Dublin Airport Authority (DAA).
