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. As all of these descriptions
are accurate, the excitement of the city can best be enjoyed by moving from
point to point via the comfort and convenience of local bus and rail service.
Within half an hour of Dublin's city center there
are mountain walks, historic homes and gardens, sandy beaches and fishing
villages. Within Dublin are countless places of interest to explore. It is a
city steeped in history and tradition, but it is also youthful. 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 enjoyment
of the nature preserve, the grazing deer, the 700 animal zoo, and the well
tended, formal gardens of Phoenix Park. There is a hands-on center where
children can design and produce pottery pieces. 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.
