Dublin
Ireland
Dublin is unique among the capital cities of Europe. It is
on the sea with a bay of harbors and swimming areas; it lies nestled
among hills and mountains; and it contains Phoenix Park,
the largest park on the European continent. Dublin's
streets have been described as bustling and lively. They have
also been called congested. Within half an hour of Dublin's city
center there are mountain walks, historic homes and gardens, sandy
beaches and fishing villages. Within Dublin there are countless
places of interest to explore. Of the one and a half million
people in greater Dublin, about half are under 25.
It is a city that welcomes visitors of all ages. Activities for
the family include enjoying the nature preserve, the grazing
deer, the 700 animal zoo, and the well tended, formal
gardens of Phoenix Park. Other family possibilities are
horseback riding, sailing and the thrill of the interactive Dublin
Viking adventure that recreates the sights, sounds and smells
of Dublin as it was 1000 years ago.
