Dublin as you DON'T know!

Momento de comemorar, este mês tivemos o maior número de acessos desde o início do blog, (ainda faltando 10 dias para acabar o mês).
Muito obrigado a todos pelo acesso!

Por este motivo, segue uma homenagem a Dublin com fotos espetaculares que achei!

Aproveitem:


Trinity College

A Trinity College must-see, the Old Library houses the institution’s greatest treasure: the Book of Kells, a circa-A.D. 800 illuminated manuscript.


Pint of Guinness

Is there anything that says "Dublin" more succinctly than a glass of Guinness? Note: The rich brew mixes well with champagne—for a drink called Black Velvet.


The Liffey River

Spanning the Liffey River, the late-18th-century O’Connell Bridge is a primarily granite structure that was widened in 1882.

The Temple Bar

Dublin’s narrow cobbled streets remain magnets for travelers and locals alike—especially when the neighborhood watering holes are as welcoming as the Temple Bar.


The Dublin Horse Show

Ireland’s ongoing love affair with the horse is elegantly celebrated every summer at the Dublin Horse Show, an event attended by more than 80,000 fans.


Dame Street

One of Dublin’s wider thoroughfares, Dame Street was named for a nunnery: St. Mary de Dame. It is home to Trinity College and the Central Bank of Ireland.



40 Foot

When Dubliners get the urge to take the plunge, they head to 40 Foot—named for the British Army’s 40th Regiment of Foot, once stationed here.



St. Patrick’s Cathedral

St. Patrick’s Cathedral pierces the fog of the ages. For one thing, Jonathan Swift—author of Gulliver’s Travels—was dean here in the 1700s; his grave sits near the entrance.
