Traveling to Ireland

Traveling to Ireland: breweries and pubs, castles and lakes, flowering gardens and luxurious architecture. Anyone who thinks that in Ireland, in addition to cheerful beer houses, there is nothing to see, he is greatly mistaken. Of course, the cult of beer and pubs is pronounced here, but this is not the only property of the Irish. Almost all the main attractions of the country are located in the territory of its capital Dublin or not far from it. In Dublin, bypassing the topic of pubs still does not work out, since they are here at every turn, and two identical ones cannot be found. Names, stained glass, collections of beer, details of interior decoration are everywhere different. In addition to the interesting interior and beer, the traditional Irish pub is the sound of a violin, guitar and bagpipes. But the pubs can be left for the evening, visiting the Guinness Brewery or visiting an entire pub quarter, and in the afternoon you can begin exploring other attractions of the city. When we first met Dublin seems a bit provincial and outdated - narrow streets, three-story brick houses with colored doors, but this is a deceptive impression. Today, Dublin is a Celtic financial and cultural center. Around visible glass buildings of large companies, construction and reconstruction of a huge scale. And at the moment about 200 global companies of the city work in the field of high technologies. 

The central part of Dublin is divided by the River Liffey, which is very clean and rich in fish, into two areas: the southern and the northern. To the south of the river are the sights of the city.
One of the main streets of the capital is O’Connol Street, and the oldest district of the city is a maze of streets around Temple Bar. The center of the city is the Cathedral of St. Patrick, from which we will begin to get to know Dublin. St. Patrick's Cathedral is the largest church in Ireland, which had to endure many difficult times. Today the Cathedral is known as the place of service of Jonathan Swift and his tomb is in the cathedral. In the park near the cathedral you can look at the Parade of Literats complex - a monument in honor of famous writers such as Jonathan Swift, Bernard Shaw, Oscar Wilde and others. One of the oldest buildings in Dublin is the Cathedral of Christ, which from the very beginning of construction competed with the Cathedral of St. Patrick for the right to be called the Cathedral of Dublin.

 Trinity College is the most prestigious university in Ireland. It is famous for the quality of education and is a model of elegant architecture.
