Dublin is the principal city of Ireland, situated in the province of Leinster, at the mouth of Liffey River. Like a modern city, Dublin can be divided into many sectors, but as a tourist, you can choose what area to visit or, for a better experience, you can go through all of them.

Firstly, there is the Medieval Quarter, the oldest part of the city, where you can see attractions like Saint Patrick’s Cathedral, Dublin Castle and Christ Church. Then is the Antique Quarter, represented by Francis Street, an area full of stores with antique objects, jewels, clothes and other souvenirs. Another highlight of any visit to Dublin is the Cultural Quarter, where can be found many music venues, restaurants and boutiques. This is the place where you can enjoy the real Dublin atmosphere.

But beside historical attractions, how could you spend your time in Dublin in a specific way? There are some recommendations for you, if you travel to this city.

1. An one day tour in Wicklow is the perfect choice if you want to discover the beautiful landscapes of Dublin and explore the ancient ruins of Glendalough. Glendalough is known for its natural beauties and history and it’s one of the most visited places in Ireland.
2. Enjoy a cruise on Liffey River. It lasts 45 minutes and during the tour, a local guide will present the main historical aspects of the river and of the city too: the first arrival of the Vikings 1000 years ago, the story of Ha’penny bridge and you will and see where Oliver Cromwell landed in 1649.
3. Explore Dublin Bay to enjoy powerful views, the fresh breeze and to visit Malahide Castle. It is the perfect place to have a cup of tea while admiring the surrounds.

6. Make a tour to visit Cliffs of Moher. The breath taking landscapes will make you not apologize for leaving the city for a day. The tour allows the visitors to see Aran Islands, Dunguaire Castle and the Cliffs of Moher.
