Dublin Travel Guide

Temple Bar in Dublin

IRELAND AND DUBLIN GENERAL INFORMATION

Ireland has two official languages, Irish Gaelic (Irish) and English there is. But Irish is not a practically spoken language, even most Irish people do not know it well.. Therefore, English is spoken as the main language in the country.. When you say Irish, don’t think of an English-like and made-up language, by the way, it’s completely different and not a word is understandable.

Ireland’s population is close to 5 million and the vast majority (around 90%) is Catholic. The population of Dublin is around 1.5 million.

The climate of the country is one of the main issues that people who do not like Ireland are worried about.. After all, it is not a hot country because it is in the north, but it is not as cold as one might think; ie air temperatures rarely drop below zero. I think the word to describe its climate is ‘variable’; When you go, you may need to wear an umbrella – cardigan in one hand and sunglasses in the other.. Average temperatures are around 4-6 degrees in winter and 16-18 degrees in summer.. If you go in the winter, the strong winds, and if you go in the summer, the weather will turn on and off.

If you come across a sunny day in Dublin You can watch the River Liffey in all its beauty.

The name of the river that divides the city into two is Liffey.

Two hours behind Turkey. Euro is used as currency. Its traffic flows on the left like England. The sockets are usually three-input, if you have a converter, take it with you.. Tap water is drinkable.

Ireland is in the European Union but not in the Schengen agreement. Therefore, although citizens of EU member states can enter Ireland without any visa in accordance with EU rules, we cannot even enter with Schengen visa

Dublin’ with UK Visa’ Can I Enter e?

Speaking of visa, I would like to explain the truth of the visa issue, which is very confused and misunderstood there is false information and everyone wrote so confidently (including major newspapers) that I couldn’t believe it when I came across it.. Here is the situation; You can enter Ireland with a UK (actually the UK and originally called the United Kingdom) visa! I’ve been this way three times There are some rules and facts, let me talk about them:

St. Patrick’s Cathedral is one of the important historical buildings in the city.

When it is said as Ireland, it is generally perceived as one country, but Ireland is actually two different countries.. full names; one is Northern Ireland and the other is Republic of Ireland. Since it is connected to Belfast, the capital of Northern Ireland, and the United Kingdom, it is already a place where you can go with a UK visa.. The Republic of Ireland, which I am talking about in this article and whose capital is Dublin, is a republic and is not affiliated with the United Kingdom (I will talk about this country when I say Ireland in the continuation of the article). The reason why you cannot enter with a UK visa under normal conditions is that it is already an independent state.. Those who give false information about visa obviously only know this part

But; In order to increase the number of tourists coming to the country and tourism revenues, an application called Visa Waiver has been put into effect by the Irish government and Turkey is one of the countries where visa facilities are provided.. It is currently announced to be valid until October 2021, but please check if there is any update for the date. The original document is here. You can get detailed information from the official website www.inis.gov.ie by typing Visa Waiver in the search section.

The document is quite comprehensive and I recommend you to read it. Let me give a short summary (If you have any question marks, be sure to consult the authorized people so that you do not risk your trip). If you have entered from a UK member country with a UK (United Kingdom) visa and your visa does not expire, you can continue to Ireland.. You can even go back to your country and then enter Ireland directly; but the time elapsed from the date you first entered the UK country must not be longer than the “Duration of stay” on your visa. (For example; if you entered the UK on 01.02, you came back to Turkey and your visa has a Duration of stay of 180 days, you can directly enter Ireland within 180 days from 01.02.. Of course, your visa must still be valid on this date.) They want you to stay in the UK country for at least 24 hours (in some cases, they can say 36 hours), by the way, don’t think like I’ll print the entry stamp and continue.

St.. Domestic and foreign tourists flock to Dublin for Patrick’s Day. You need to wear an Irish hat or t-shirt and wear green

Try to make your trip to Dublin on December 24 – 25, when everything is closed for Christmas, and in the Catholic faith, the Prophet. Try not to coincide with Good Friday, the day Jesus died. Otherwise, you will not be able to see most of the places I mentioned in the places to visit section.. Good Friday falls on the Friday before Easter, known as Easter Monday.. I’ve been to Dublin 4 times, in May, July, August and September, and I recommend the more consistent and cooler months of May and September, rather than July and August, which is confusing when I can’t decide whether it will be cool or warm.

World famous St.. Patrick’s Day is actually a religious day, but it is celebrated like a festival.. Every year, especially in Dublin, the whole country turns green on 17 March and there are marches, demonstrations and shows on the streets.. It might be fun to go to Dublin on that date, but you should plan your trip very far in advance; otherwise it may not be possible to find a place to stay. St.. Patrick’s Day, don’t go to Dublin in March (especially mid-March) when everything will be expensive and more touristy

It’s like 3 days if you just want to visit Dublin some time may be enough. It will be necessary to spare a few more days to see other cities and attractions in the surrounding area.

Dublin is a city full of greenery, with its huge parks.

ACCOMMODATION – Dublin Hotels

Ireland is a country with a high standard of living. Also, Dublin is the third most visited capital city in Europe after Paris and London.. When these two facts come together, unfortunately, an expensive city emerges.. Therefore, if you have a limited budget, it would be appropriate to research the accommodation issue well.

First of all, you should visit Temple Bar and Christ Church. you can search and try to be close to there. There are many hostels in the center (I stayed at Abbey Court Hostel, the location was fine), click here to review hotel options and make a reservation.

TRANSPORTATION

How to Get to Dublin – How to Get to Dublin

The only airport in Dublin is named Dublin Airport (DUB). It has two terminals. Turkish Airlines, which operates direct flights from Istanbul, is landing at Terminal 1. The prices of this 3.5-hour direct flight can be a bit high, so you can consider the option of going with a connecting flight (especially if there is a case of entering with the UK visa I mentioned above, you should enter the UK first, travel there and then go to Dublin with a cheap airline within Europe.) Summer. There are direct flights to Dublin from places such as Izmir, Bodrum, Antalya during periods, if you intend to go from those sides, do not forget to check the flights.

Finding a flight to Dublin from within Europe very simple. Did you know that the famous “cheap ticket” company Ryan Air is of Irish origin? Both Ryan Air (Terminal 1) and Ireland’s official airline Aer Lingus (Terminal 2) have plenty of flights to Dublin.

For Dublin flight tickets You can visit ticketbayi.com.

Transport in Dublin

The most convenient way to go from the airport to the city center is to use the buses numbered 16 or 41. One way ticket is 2.90 Euros and gives unlimited use for 90 minutes.. Buses have Wifi connection, so you can follow the closest stop to your accommodation on the map.. It takes around half an hour to get to O’Connell Street or Dame Street in the city centre.

Other The options are Airlink and Aircoach that operate between popular destinations in the city center and the airport.. One way fare is 6 Euros and round trip is 10 Euros. It can be useful especially for night trips, but under normal conditions, I think the normal bus is enough.. Their websites are here: Airlink and Aircoach

You can explore the whole of Dublin city center on foot. One of the lively streets you will pass will be Grafton Street.

Dublin city center is considered small and I think all of it can be visited on foot, resting in between. For this reason, I have explained the places to see in Dublin in order of their location in my article.. For those who say “I don’t want to walk” or “I took a different route”, I also wrote how to reach each of them by public transport Buses, trams or trains can be used to go to places outside the center.

When we say fun in Ireland, we all think of pubs first.. Go to Temple Bar to see all kinds of pubs we know and love as Irish pubs. Although Temple Bar is the famous red-sign pub in Dublin, it’s also the name of the area.. In the evenings, this area is very lively, so take a look inside the pubs you pass by while walking around and sit in one of your favorite ones and sip your Guinness beer Of course, if you don’t like Guinness, you can choose other beers or drinks other than beer.. Even if you don’t drink alcohol, visit these pubs that have an important place in Irish culture.. I think you should prefer one with live music, Irish music is quite different. Murray’s Bar on O’Connell Street is one of the bars where you can listen to Irish music without paying an entrance fee. The Stag’s Head is also one of the nice pubs in the vicinity. There are also many venues that offer tickets for dinner and shows in the form of “Irish Music & Dance”.

People or popular music in famous Irish pubs. You can listen to traditional Irish music.

Pubs come alive in the early hours, so you can go whenever you want (I think it’s best to go after dinner between 20:00 – 20:30). By law; No service after 23:30 from Monday to Thursday, 00:30 from Friday to Saturday and 23:00 on Sunday. After a short while, people are on their way to their homes or nightclubs.. Those who prefer nightclubs can order until around 02:30 on Friday – Saturday and around 01:00 on other days.. Main idea; Don’t wait until midnight to go to a place

Don’t forget to ask for Guinness, Ireland’s famous black beer, at pubs, clubs or with your meal .

I tried The Living Room as a nightclub and liked it. It starts out as a venue where you eat dinner first and watch live matches on giant screens, and as the hours progress, it turns into a nightclub.

Nightclubs don’t have strict dress codes, or I haven’t seen them.. You can enter most of them with normal clothes that are not very sports.. There are no stupid rules such as no rooftop entry anyway

There is also a casino in Dublin. If you want to try my luck at gambling, you can stop by The Fitzwilliam Casino & Card Club. It is located in Merrion Square, walking distance from Trinity College.

Let’s give information about the local population for singles First of all, the Irish are very friendly and kind, they do their best when you ask for help. They are doing. Other than that, the famous “Irish accent” is really sexy. They even pronounce the name of the city that we read as Dublin in such a way that people say, “Say it again!” Irish men are handsome; I can generalize as tall, slender, white-skinned, short-haired, and round-colored eyes.. When you add nice accents, smiling faces and courtesy on top of that, you can get a very attractive man.. Their daughters are eh; If you like girls with white skin, red hair and fish, why not Good news; they are not strict about sex. If you’re lucky, your night can end well
