  2. Dublin, the capital of Ireland. • Dublin is the capital of Ireland. A lot of Spanish teenagers go to Dublin for learning English. In Dublin they can do many things. Let’s go to see what can we do.

  3. the hughlanemuseum Dublin City Gallery, The Hugh Lane is the local gallery of modern art for the city of Dublin. The Collection of the Hugh Lane Gallery includes Impressionist masterpieces by Renoir, Degas, Monet, Morisot; the largest public collection of 20th century Irish art; works by contemporary Irish and international artists. The most recent acquisition has been the Studio of Francis Bacon together with its entire contents numbering over 7,500 items. The Studio has been reconstructed at the Hugh Lane Gallery and is a permanent exhibit. The Hugh Lane Gallery also has an exciting programme of lectures, tours, concerts and art workshops for adults and children.

  4. dublinwritersmuseum The Irish literary tradition is one of the most illustrious in the world, famous for four Nobel Prize winners and for many other writers of international renown. In 1991, the Dublin Writers Museum was opened to house a history and celebration of literary Dublin. Situated in a magnificent 18th century mansion in the north city centre, the collection features the lives and works of Dublin's literary celebrities over the past three hundred years. The Dublin Writers Museum is an essential visit for anyone who wants to discover, explore or simply enjoy Dublin's immense literary heritage.

  5. Parks and gardens. • Dublin is a city that has many very nice gardens. Iveagh Garden, Merrion Square, Glasnevin, Phoenix Park, St Stephen’s Green; there are some of more famous. Let’s go to visit them!

  6. Iveaghgarden The gardens were designed by NinianNiven in 1865 as an intermediate design between the "French Formal" and the "English Landscape" styles. The Iveagh Gardens dominated the artistic skills of the landscape Architect of the mid 19th century and display a unique collection of landscape features which include Rustic's Grotto and Cascade, sunken formal panels of lawn with Fountain Centre Pieces, Wilderness Woodlands, Maze, Rosarium, American Garden, Archery Grounds, Rockeries and Rooteries. The conservation and restoration of the Gardens began in 1955 and to date most of the features have been restored, for example the Maze in Box hedging with a Sundial as a centre piece. The recently restored Cascade and exotic tree ferns all help to create a sense of wonder in Dublin's "Secret Garden".

  7. Merrionsquare is situated on the south side of Dublin city centre and is considered one of the city's finest Georgian squares. The square was laid out after 1762 and was largely complete by the beginning of the 19th century. The park in the square is now known as "Archbishop Ryan Park". The square was leased to the Catholic Archdiocese of Dublin by the Pembroke Estate in 1930 to permit the building of a Cathedral on the site. Despite efforts over the next 20 years to advance the project, no progress was made and the site was transferred to the city of Dublin in 1974. Now managed by Dublin City Council, it contains a statue of Oscar Wilde, who resided in No 1, Merrion Square from 1855 to 1876, many other sculptures and a collection of old Dublin lamp standards.

  8. phoenixpark Is the largest enclosed urban public park in Europe[ located 3 km to the north west of Dublin city centre in Ireland. It measures 712 hectares (1,760 acres), with a walled circumference of 16 km that contains large areas of grassland and tree-lined avenues. The park has been home to a herd of wild Fallow deer since the seventeenth century. The name is a corruption of the Irish fionnuisce meaning "clear water". Unusually for North Dublin, the park has an even-numbered area code (Dublin 8/D8). All other areas of northside Dublin (except for the adjacent Chapelizod) have odd numbered area codes, and even numbers if on the southside of Dublin.

  9. ST STEPHEN’S GREEN Is an inner-city public park . The park is within the city centre, adjoining the nearby shopping area of Grafton Street. The park is rectangular, surrounded by streets that once formed major traffic arteries through Dublin city centre, although traffic management changes implemented in 2004 have greatly reduced the volume of traffic.
