Travel to Europe

Cork

Cork is the second largest city in the Republic of Ireland, located on the banks of the River Lee, originally built on several islands. The city was founded by St Finbarr over 1.000 years ago, so you will have plenty of amazing historical places and buildings to visit, I recommend you start with the Cork Historic Walking Tours.

Liffey River

The Liffey is a river in the Republic of Ireland, which flows through Dublin, dividing the city in two. It rises near Kippure, a mountain in County Wicklow, and flows for around 75 miles. You can take boat tours along the river through Dublin City center, it is a great way to explore the city sights.

Christ Church Cathedral

The Christ Church Cathedral is the oldest building in Dublin, dating from the 11th century, with a huge restoration in the 19th century. It has a very interesting crypt, with impressive carvings, and you can enjoy the exhibition "Dublinia", offering a lot of information about Dublin during the middle ages, you won't regret it!

Kilmainham Gaol

Kilmainham Gaol was a prison in Dublin, now transformed into a museum. This place played an important part in Irish history, many leaders of the Irish rebellions were imprisioned at this place, and some of them even executed. The prison was built in 1796, and served as a prison for 140 years.

Dublin

Dublin is the capital city of the Republic of Ireland, it is a vibrant city with many tourist attractions and a popular nightlife. Dublin is a very big city, however, most of its population live in suburbs and its city center is rather small and very easy to explore by foot. The city has a great number of museums, very interesting architecture, and other activities that I will tell you about with more detail, as we continue to explore this beautiful part of Europe.

Republic of Ireland

The Republic of Ireland shares the island of Ireland with Northern Ireland (part of the United Kingdom) located off the coast of northwest Europe. The country is divided into 26 counties, and the major cities are Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Galway and Waterford. The Irish are mostly of indigenous Neolithic ancestry, with some population of English, Scottish, Anglo-Norman, Viking and Welsh ancestry. The Celtic culture and language forms an important part of national identity, being Irish and English the official languages.
