Dublin: Well what can we say about it? well firstly it is the capital of Ireland and largest city and it certainly does have some noteworthy sights. The city itself is not as large as you might think in comparison to many other captial cities around the world, however it does has a uniqueness about it. The city itself has many sights to see, sights such as the 'Grand canal' is well worth a walk down during a nice summer day, O'Connell bridge is a good place to start exploring the city from and it provides a lovely view of the river and some of Dublin's most famous buildings. A good place to visit would be the 'Bank of Ireland' building where guided tours are usually available during business hours and is a good way to certainly spend a few hours. the famed 'Trinity College' is also worth a wander round during the day and a certain must see has to be 'St Stephen's Green' and a great pllace for a picnic! Other places to have a quick wander must surely include the 'Halfpenny bridge', 'Dublin castle' and of course both the National history museum and National gallery and if you have time Temple Bar too.
