Can you imagine leaping over the waves in Dublin Bay with this fantastic city as a backdrop? If you’re a keen windsurfer or would simply wish to try it out, Dublin will provide you with a treat to satisfy your need for excitement.
Many fishing enthusiasts go to Dublin with that purpose in mind and sea-fishing excursions can be organised in several places such as Dalkey, Dún Laoghaire, and Howth. All are easy to reach from central Dublin thanks to the DART service.
By far the best way to explore Dublin is to put on a pair of comfortable shoes and just set out with a good city map. The Dublin city-centre is of a comfortably modest size, meaning that the majority of the city’s highlights are within walking distance from one another.
If you happen to be in Dublin on St. Stephen’s Day (26th December), you should seriously consider joining the horseracing fans in placing a wager on their favourite horse. This would be the first day of the race meeting and the competition is fierce as these National Hunt races are a preparation for the Cheltenham Gold Cup.
