There is no better place for family cycling holidays than Dublin. It is almost as good as a cycling holiday France trip. It is the ideal destination if you are looking for a trip full of fun nature. The Irish capital is located in the East and more specifically in the bay at the mouth of the River Liffey, where the most important port of the island, famous for the many trade routes. Dublin was founded by the Vikings around the year 917, for many years under the British Empire; this land was the scene of many battles until you get to the bloody clashes of the early 900 that led to the complete independence of Ireland in 1922. The city of Dublin is divided in two by the River Liffey. Historical monuments, entertainment and tourism characterize the southern area. In the north area of the river is a little more residential and a little less commercial. A place to visit when you arrive in Dublin city centre is the St. Patrick's Cathedral, which is considered one of the monuments of the city, dating from the twelfth century.
A key aspect of this capital is the high number of United Kingdom links in the territory, and certainly ...
... the most famous being the Trinity College, founded around 1952 by Queen Elizabeth I. If you are interested in literature and popular libraries can not miss visiting the college library, which houses books dating from the ninth century. It is within another charming Georgian neighbourhood, which is built with traditional brick and bizarre coloured doors, which are typical of Ireland.
After experiencing their culture and with your cycling holiday France drifting from your memory, you must remember that Dublin also has plenty of entertainment to offer. The districts are crowded with young people and tourists heading to Temple Bar, where you will find most of the pubs and street artists. "The Brazen Head" is the oldest pub in the capital, founded in 1688 and is always open and all customers are greeted by the warmth that distinguishes the Irish people. It is suitable for a quick lunch or to spend an evening in the atmosphere from pubs.
The city of Dublin continues to amaze, because you can choose to relax in the beautiful Phoenix Park, characterized inside a seventeenth-century castle with zoo and lakes. It is the ideal place to relax after lunch on the fresh Irish grass. Family cycling holidays may take a back seat for all beer lovers, as they will have to stop at the Guinness Museum. If you book a ticket in advance then you will avoid having to stand in the long lines that are created every day at the entrance. You will be able to enjoy your trip without the stress of a queue, to make your trip an unforgettable visit. Before leaving Dublin, remember to buy souvenirs for yourself or your friends, in the most prestigious shopping streets such as Grafton Street and Nassau Street (not far from Trinity College) or Henry Street, off the main O'Connell street.
