Dublin

Our trip started in Dublin. While still in the air, you can already see the wonderful landscape and especially the North Bull Island, known for golfing and its bird reserve. We spent one night in a hostel right in the centre of the capital of Ireland. Only a few minutes away from Trinity College; here you can visit the beautiful Campus and just around the corner you’ll find the Book of Kells. If you’re interested in visiting you should book your time slot in advance.
We made our way to Stephen’s Green Park, which has beautiful flowerbeds and lots of swans: perfect for an afternoon walk!
Right in front of it you can find Stephen’s Green Shopping Centre. Opened in the 80s it has its own charm to it and thanks to the glass roof you have lots of natural light. This is just one example of various places to shop in Dublin.

If you’re wondering how to get around in Dublin, you can easily walk everywhere. Another popular thing to do is to take the hop on hop off bus. You can get on and off whenever and wherever you want to.
To visit Phoenix Park, we rented bicycles and had lots of fun looking for fallow deers. With success!
Another beautiful place we went to on our second day in Dublin was Saint Patrick’s Park and Cathedral. You’ll hear this name a lot in Ireland, because he is known for bringing Christianity to parts of Ireland.

If you go to Dublin, you have to visit the Guiness Storehouse. Even if you don’t like beer, this is one of the most important aspects of Ireland and a celebration of Irish culture. If you’re more interested in practical experiences, we’d recommend you to check out a pub with typical Irish live music. This will definitely help to learn about the culture!Læs mere
