    "A must-visit place in Dublin! Everything is so well thought out. You can also learn a lot from a walk without a guide. Beautiful, fun, and very colorful. Definitely, the bar with the panoramic view of the city is the perfect way to end the walk. The service and overall attitude of the people working there are amazing. I advise and recommend going there for sunset. The experience is amazing! Five stars are not enough."

    "The gold and silver jewels used to hold the king. Now, the gold and silver jewels are gone, and the castle stands old and strong. The castle-like building is surrounded by high walls and a drawbridge at the main entrance. The castle hall in the middle, once the residence of the British Governor, is now the site of important events. The 18th century building next to the castle is the town hall."

    1.4km from downtown
    Highlights: Dublin Castle, built in 1204, is one of the oldest buildings in Dublin City. Its architectural style and scale were called one of the grand castles in Europe at the beginning of its completion. The fortress between the two sides. The luxurious interior of the castle is decorated with rare building materials such as crystal from Waterford and marble from Italy, and has now become a routine venue for the inauguration of Irish presidents. The castle is rectangular in shape, and the four corners are composed of four companion castles. In 1169, the Normans landed in County Wexford, Ireland, and they have been in control of Dublin for a few years. Thirty years later, King John of England authorized the construction of a castle to house his taxes and treasures, and to serve as a British base in Ireland. It was against this historical backdrop that Dublin Castle was built. The fire of Zhurong in 1684 destroyed most of the buildings of the ancient castle, and only one companion castle was completely preserved, so most of the existing old buildings in the castle are the items left after the fire.

    Highlights: The Dublin Spire is a monument in Dublin, the capital of Ireland, also known as the Monument of Light. It replaced Nelson's Column, which was bombed by the Irish Republican Army in 1966, and was inaugurated in 2003. The Dublin Spire symbolizes the rebirth of O'Connell Street. It was designed by the well-known British architect Ian Ritchie. The concept of the design is to "connect the bridge between art and technology with an elegant and energetic sense of simplicity". The entire minaret is 120 meters high and is currently the highest outdoor sculpture in the world. Looking from a distance, the light and shadow reflect on the stainless steel tower, full of focus and beauty.

    "Be warned, to walk all the way through takes about an hour and there are no busses that stop in the park- they only drive through and stop either side, but the park itself is beautiful and easy to spend that much time wandering in, the deer are usually in the upper end of the park after the cricket field, there are a few food carts dotted around and also Dublin zoo located in the park"

    Highlights: The park is located on the north bank of the Lefey River in the northwest of Dublin City. It covers an area of 1760 acres and is a famous park in Ireland. The park was originally a deer park built by the then-governor, Duke of Ormond in 1663, to cater to the reinstated King Charles II and some dignitaries in Dublin at that time. After centuries of changes, it still maintains the characteristics of the 17th century deer park. The sound of Phoenix is the same as the Celtic Finniskk, which means clear water and green grass, and it has been passed down to this day. While the park was once a luxurious place of pleasure, it is now owned by the public, with its natural surroundings and herds of reindeer bringing joy to tens of thousands of visitors.
