Cool little street scene they are having a farmer's market.
first we walk down Henry Street a famous shopping street in dublin. Dublin is a walkable city so
today we're gonna walk around and see what picturesque thing is we can find
our first stop is the 18th century st. Mary's Church of Ireland which has now
been converted to a bar called the church. This is a church that turned into
a bar. This is Arthur Guinness the founder of the Guinness brewery he was
married here.
the River Liffey flows through the center of Dublin dividing the city from
the north side to the south side this is called the Essex bridge and that's the
canal now we head to an area known as the Temple Bar this is a part of the
city with cobblestone streets numerous picturesque bars and art galleries so
I'm here in Dublin it's February it's pretty chilly outside
it's about 10 degrees Celsius for 40 degrees Fahrenheit got me this new
jacket from my kids section at Zara. First impression so far it looks a lot like
Boston there's tons of cool pubs a
little chilly but we're making it work
here is the city hall and those opened in 1852
this is the inside of the City Hall this is Sir O'Connell so in the City Hall
they have a little exhibit it's free and they tell you about the city's
architecture the georgian-style and they have a thing here this is the Irish
Republic declaration of independence from 1916 so this is what the city look
like they day the independence was granted.
we're heading to Trinity College right now

Trinity College was founded in 1592 and is home to the book of kells a glorious
exhibit and a must-see old library here were walking through the long room
nearly 65 meters in length filled with 200,000 of the library's oldest books
and one of the most impressive libraries in the world the Book of Kells is
regarded as Ireland's national treasure in sacred manuscript with four Gospels
of the New Testament it was made by Celtic monks and 800 AD
here we take the hop-on hop-off bus one of the easiest ways to get around the
city besides walking
this monument is dedicated to the memory
now time for some Ireland fun facts number one Ireland is one of the only
places where Romans never conquered number two there's never an industrial
revolution in Ireland number three Ireland has one of the youngest
populations in Europe before the legal drinking age is 18 and number five there
are over 700 pubs in the city and the Dublin City proper is quite small with a
little over 500,000 people now for Dublin Day - all right guys I'm staying
at the Maldron hotel this is in Dublin it's right in the city centre this is my
room I have like two beds it's nice if you're sharing this with a
family I can't say I recommend it though that noise it's coming from the
construction out here so it's loud but in terms of location it's good
all right on that note I'm getting out of here let's go see the city on day two
I take the hop-on hop-off bus where I check out some of the city's highlights
and art galleries followed by pubs at night
so I'm walking around the city check out this church
