Dublin’s Top Attractions

As one of Europe’s top tourist destinations, Dublin has something for everyone. From a world-renowned nightlife to iconic sights such as the Guinness brewery, the city is teeming with character, culture, and quintessential Irish charm. Whether you’re visiting Dublin for just a short weekend break or an extended getaway, make sure to visit some of its most famous sights for a classic Dublin city experience.

Start off your tour of Dublin with a morning boat ride along the River Liffey. Measuring 120km in length, the river cuts the city in half and runs along some of its most famous sights. A guided tour will not only give you a chance to see some of these iconic attractions, but will provide you with intriguing facts about the history of Dublin City and the River Liffey from as far back as the arrival of the Vikings.

Next, head to Trinity College and Library, one of Dublin’s oldest sights. Founded in 1592 by Queen Elizabeth I on the grounds of an Augustinian priory, the college and its library are among the city’s most visited attractions. Trinity College Library also holds more than one million books and manuscripts, the most famous being the “Book of Kells”.

After taking in the history of Trinity College and the Library, walk down Grafton Street towards St Stephen’s Green park – a 27-acre Georgian square. Pick up a picnic lunch along the way, and enjoy it amid the serenity of the park’s greenery and lakes. Afterwards, stroll along its winding paths, or take a breather on one of its strategically placed benches.

Grafton Street is one of the city’s premier shopping districts, and a must-see for anyone visiting the city. Trendy high street shops and chic department stores will please window shopper and true retail enthusiasts alike, while the district’s many bars and cafes are perfect for an afternoon tea or coffee. One of the city’s most famed cafes – Bewley’s – happens to be situated here, hosting one million customers each year.

Of course, no visit to Dublin is complete without a visit to the Guinness Storehouse. Situated at the historic St James’s Gate (Dublin 8), the storehouse and its exhibitions will tell you everything you need to know about the city’s (and country’s) beverage of choice – from its brewing process to the global Guinness transportation system. The highlight of the tour is a “free” pint in the Gravity Bar, situated high above the storehouse and offering stunning views of Dublin.

After you’ve had your fill of Guinness, head to St Patrick’s Cathedral, followed by the nearby Dublin Castle. Founded in 1191 by Archbishop Comyn, St Patrick’s Cathedral is Ireland’s largest church and the National Cathedral, as well as the final resting place of Dean Swift (of Gulliver fame). The castle, on the other hand, is today used as a government office. It offers a tour, which takes visitors underground to the moat and the most ancient parts of the castle, as well as impart 800 years of Irish history relating to the castle.

Finally, don’t leave Dublin without a stop in the city’s Temple Bar district – the city’s “bohemian quarter”. Home to a string of restaurants, bars, shops and pubs, Temple Bar is one of the city’s liveliest spots to enjoy the craic. You’re also bound to see many street artists performing, as well as a farmer’s market if you happen to stop by on a Saturday. If you’re particularly interested in Dublin’s pub culture, you might want to consider taking a musical pub tour, which also departs from Temple Bar.

With so much to see and do in Dublin, you’re sure to enjoy a fun-filled city break– whether you’re planning a weekend break or an extended stay. Just remember to book one of the hotels in Dublin ahead of time – particularly during high travel seasons, as they can book up quickly.

how many dvds or what size dvd does it take to burn a wii game?

how many dvds does it take to burn a wii game or what size do i need to burn a wii game now nobody accusing me of stealing or saying just buy the games im just making these so i can save my good copies so they dint break so what size or how many dvds do i require thanks first to answer get right and help gets best answers also i have home brew and the Wii backup launcher installed

Most Wii games are still on the standard DVD 5 format (which is 4.7GB). However, some now come on a DVD 9 (also known as a dual-layer disc), which holds 8.5 GB. If you burn with a DVD 9, then make sure that you have a burner that is capable of burning dual-layer.

As far as I know, the only games that are dual-layer thus far are SSBB and Metroid Trilogy. If I can find any more, I’ll let you know. However, in order to back up a Wii game, you must first rip the image. you should be able to tell whether or not it requires a dual-layer disc from the file size. Hope I helped.

Can I use a 5 litre heineken keg to dispense homebrew?

My girlfriend and I are homebrewers, and we own a corney keg. We don’t have the rest of the equipment at this point to use it. I was wondering, in the mean time can I use an empty 5 litre keg (heineken, etc.) to dispense home brew? I don’t even need to buy one, because the beverage store supplies me with empties, even grolch bottles! Thank you beer belly bob’s. Friends that taste our beer ask us to bring it to parties, because we have gotten very experienced at the hobby. This would be pretty convienent, even after we puchase the rest of the equipment for the corney keg system, because of portability.

There are 5 liter keg systems available at your local homebrew store. They have replacement bungs and CO2 injectors available so while technically you can reuse them it’s really a PITA when you take into consideration how easily damaged they are, how difficult to clean, and what a low value for the money they are. It’s much more cost effective, fun, and pain free to just use your corny. If you’re concerned about portability, there are also 3 gallon cornies and there are small CO2 cylinders dispensing systems. I sometimes take my homebrew in 2 L soda bottles. You can take the cap of a 2L bottle, drill a hole in it, and add an air valve. With an air chuck on a line to your CO2 tank you can even carbonate right in the bottle.
