About Dublin
Dublin is the largest city and capital of Ireland, with a population of 2 million people. Like many European capitals, it too was founded on the banks of a river. The Liffey River divides the city into two; one one side lies O'Connell Avenue, Henry Avenue, and Talbot Avenue, and can be considered the heart of the city. O'Connell Avenue in particular is an unparalleled shopping destination, while St. Andrew's Church is a landmark and meeting destination for both tourists and locals.
Other places worth seeing in the area include: Chester Beatty Library, Christ Church Cathedral, St. Patrick's Cathedral, the Dublin Chateau, the Dublin Writers' Museum, Dublin Zoo, and Merrion Square. Beer lovers can visit the Guinness Museum while theatre fans can visit the Abbey and Gaiety Theatres.
Even though Dublin has a northern location, it enjoys a temperate and moderate climate due to the Gulf Stream effect. The temperature never climbs above 20 degrees in the summer, or below 10 degrees in the winter. Two airports are located in Dublin; as it is home to RyanAir, one of Europe's first low-cost airlines, it shouldn't be difficult to find a cheap ticket to the city from another European capital. The city is also notably wheelchair-accessible.
