Dublin is located on Ireland's east coast, at the mouth of river Laffey. It is one of Ireland's oldest cities, the region having been inhabited from prehistoric times. It's architecture is incredibly rich, just like it's history. In modern times, it is the centre of all the commercial activities of Ireland, and also the largest city geographically. Even globally, it is one of the most prosperous cities in the world. Dublin is also the centre of Ireland's tourist attractions. There are plenty of old monuments, none more famous than the Dublin Castle, built in 1204, and new ones such as the Dublin Spire built in 2003. The number of parks laid out throughout the city are countless, such as the Phoenix Park, St. Stephen's Park, and St. Annes Park. The National Museum of Ireland is also found here, and Dublin is also home to many events and festivities throughout the year. And then of course, a visit to Ireland is incomplete without indulging, or even drowning, yourself in the local Irish beer.

A lot of the city was destroyed, and subsequently rebuilt. Ireland was partitioned in 1922, and Dublin became capital of the Republic of Ireland. By the end of the century, Dublin began growing at a blistering pace and established itself as an economic centre, and developed most of the facilities we see today.

What is the best time to visit Dublin?

March-May during Spring is the best time to visit Dublin. The Irish rain is famous around the world, and most tourists plan their trips trying to avoid it. But since the city sees rain almost all-year-round, it is well equipped to handle it. The crowd is under control, the weather is pleasant, and the hotel prices are yet to rise, making the months of March, April and May the ideal months to travel to this part of the world. The museums and parks have fewer crowds and a lot of time can be spent studying the cultural history of the place. Besides, March is also the month that brings with it the famous St.Patrick’s celebrations, thus making it all the more viable a month for paying a visit to this city in Ireland. Dublin experiences frigid winters from November to February. This is the time when all outdoor activities are put to a hold, making it the worst time to visit this city. Most of the local population nooks up indoors and there isn’t any specific activity in the city during these months.
