Traveling to Dublin is starting to get to know the Irish flavor. A friendly and pleasant land where the predominant color is green and is distinguished by its abundant rain and if you are near the coast be careful with the air.
How you see the weather is going to have an impact on the trip so the CXB Directory first piece of advice is to be well prepared for the rain and thus have a comfortable trip.
You walk through its traditional streets enjoy the warmth of its people and you should never forget to visit the well-known pubs and enjoy a good beer.
Will you accompany me to discover Dublin and its charms?
Merrion Square
This park is located in the heart of Dublin close to galleries museums and important tourist sites. It has a Georgian style and a special charm. Three of its four sides are surrounded by brick buildings also in the Georgian style.
Years ago it was home to famous people such as Daniel O'Connell or the poet William Butler Yeats and many ordinary families. Today these blocks are now mostly offices of major Irish companies.
To the west of the park contrasting with the brick houses stands the building of the National Gallery of Ireland the National Library and Leinster House the former Doge's Palace and current Parliament of Ireland.
The best-known element of the park is the statue of Oscar Wilde which represents the illustrious writer in a pensive and carefree posture on a rock. The reason for this sculpture is that very close to the place is the house where he lived in his youth and where the American College of Dublin is now housed.
The park also doubles as a museum with a curious display of street lamps spread throughout the grounds. These street lamps were used to light the streets of Dublin during the th century.
