Second trip to Ireland! (Ireland #1)

For our second trip to discover Ireland, this time we set off to explore certain regions in greater depth! 

For those who have never been to Ireland, it is an Anglo-Saxon country, but it also has deep and ancient Celtic origins and a 'Gaelic' language. (Gaelic languages include Irish, Scottish Gaelic and Manx from the Isle of Man).

Irish Gaelic is one of the island branches of the Celtic languages. As well as breathtaking scenery, this Celtic origin offers us a culture steeped in history, evidenced by the medieval castles and Celtic ruins that litter the hills and valleys (even the road signs). Not forgetting the centuries-old pubs and the myths about fairies, leprechauns and white ladies.

For those who have already had the opportunity to visit Ireland, the Irish naturally cultivate the pleasure of hospitality and conversation! (provided you speak English, of course). To discover the real Ireland, I advise you to really explore the countryside, the hidden villages and the wild peninsulas. In fact, to understand Ireland I think you need to immerse yourself in its culture and its past! 

Chances are you'll be arriving in Dublin, Ireland's largest city, which has been booming since the 2008 crisis hit the country hard. Things not to miss in Dublin it's Guinness ! And, of course, you'll want to try it if you can in the " Temple Bar "while we're at it! This is Dublin's historic pub district, where the atmosphere is vibrant day and night!  

But if you like Guinness, that authentic black beer, you won't want to miss it! visit to the brewery which represents an entire district of Dublin (not far from Temple Bar, easily accessible on foot). I'll leave you with the pleasure of discovering how Guinness came to be in Ireland, as well as its history! An alternative to beer, for whisky lovers, the distilleries are an integral part of Dublin's history : the " Teeling Distillery "  is now open to the public!  

The National Museum of Archaeology, the National Gallery and Trinity College, the symbol of Anglo-Protestant culture, are also must-sees in Dublin. the National Gallery and Trinity College, a symbol of Anglo-Protestant culture. This century-old university has seen many of the great names who studied here pass through its doors. The Old Library is the most popular destination for visitors to the university, which has been carefully archiving great Irish manuscripts since 1732. Access to this splendid library will relax you with its courtyards and lawns: is Dublin's haven of peace.
