Dublin, capital of the Republic of Ireland and the country's biggest city, is the center of everything Irish. Whether you're looking for fun nights out, a great place to shop or a city filled with Irish history and culture, Dublin is the place to go. Here you'll find all the major chains and compartment stores, they have a special district full of Irish pubs and Dublin also has a long and interesting history as it was founded by Vikings in the 9th century.
Dubliners use the Euro when they buy stuff and you should too when you're in Ireland. Dublin has a very stable climate. During the coldest month the temperature rarely goes below 0°C but ranges between 5-8°C. In the summer months the average temperature is around 19°C, perfect for shopping, and it's good to know that the Irish summer lasts well into September. Flights between Iceland and Dublin only take ca. 2 hours and from Dublin Airport there's a 10-15 minute bus ride to downtown Dublin.
There are plenty of reasons to visit Ireland. This island of leprechauns, four leaf clovers, river dancing, gingers, whiskey, Irish coffee and absolutely fantastic Eurovision music is a paradise for travelers; beautiful, unspoiled landscapes, dramatic coastlines, dynamic cities and over thousand years’ worth of history and culture. From five star castles to quaint cottages and everything in between, the Irish are great hosts and they sure know how to party. This is why everyone loves Ireland and the Irish
Dublin was founded as a Viking settlement in the 9th century but today it is the largest city of Ireland and the capital of the Republic of Ireland. In modern Irish, Dublin is called Baile Átha Cliath which means “Town of the hurdled ford,” referring to the fording point of the River Liffey. Furthermore the real meaning of the name Dublin is “black pool.” Who knew?
Over the past two decades, the city has gone through a total reinvention and can no longer be called “dirty Dublin.” Although it has held onto its roots it’s now a modern city with a groovy atmosphere. For a long time Dublin mimicked London in everything it did but after joining the EU in the mid-1990’s it embraced a more Eurocentric way, paving the road to the rise of café culture with cozy bars in the downtown area and restaurants with alfresco dining.
Let us not forget the traditional Irish pubs, a trip to Dublin is incomplete without a visit to at least one such establishment. The Dublin barmen are truly a special breed and take good care to give loving attention to the Guinness they serve. In many of the older Dublin pubs you also find “snugs,” little private chambers that are really a relic from older days when gangs and secret societies needed a place to meet away from common drinkers.
