Dublin Attractions
For a closer look at Ireland's most famous export, visit Irish Whiskey Corner. This 90-year-old warehouse flat has been converted into a museum, featuring a presentation about the making of Irish Whiskey. Visitors receive a complimentary tasting.
Dublin Activities
Visit Powerscourt Estate and Gardens, set on 34,000 acres along the River Dargle. Finished in 1875, this garden took over 30 years to complete. Admire the Italian and Japanese gardens and the circular terraces that descend to Triton Lake with its 100-foot fountain guarded by winged horses.
Visit St. Patrick's Cathedral, said to have been the site where St. Patrick baptized converts in 450 A.D.
Explore Dublin's history, both tragic and glorious, with haunting memories of great patriots, statesmen, scientists and scholars.
Check out the National Gallery, home to more than 2,000 exhibits, including a major collection of Irish landscape paintings.
Go back in time at the Dubliana exhibit, featuring a historical portrayal of life in Dublin during the medieval period from 1170 to 1540, including a scale model of Dublin in the 1500s.
Waterford is a large Irish seaport known the world over for its glass industry. Explore the town´s Viking heritage at the 10th-century Reginald´s Tower, now a museum. Visit the glass factory for an inside look at the craftsmanship that produces the fine crystal ware.
Waterford Activities
Take a walking tour of Historic Waterford, a worthwhile way to get an understanding of Waterford’s complex history.
Reginald’s Tower - The 70-foot tower was built in the 11th century. You can climb the stone spiral staircase for a great view of the city.
French Church - The ruins of this church are part of a Dominican monastery built in 1240 A.D. and given to Huguenot refugees in the 17th century.
Theater Royal and City Hall - These are considered architectural masterpieces by John Roberts.
Aptly named Belle-Ile-en-Mer is the largest of France’s Atlantic islands, located just off the Brittany coast. It’s a popular summer holiday spot, with rolling countryside and broad beaches, miles of hiking trails along the shoreline cliffs and even romantic castle ruins above the protected harbor of Le Palais.
Blessed with beautiful beaches and an atmosphere that is more traditionally Spanish than the Basque country next door, Santander is a lovely setting. Along the beach known as El Sardinero, mansions face the long stretch of shoreline and excitement awaits in the Belle Epoque-stype Grand Casino.
This major seaport, the largest city in Asturias, is an industrial and commercial center exporting large quantities of coal and iron. It has steel, iron, chemical, petroleum, glass, and food and tobacco industries. Of pre-Roman origin, Gijon was one of the first places recaptured from the Moors early in the 8th cent. The city flourished under the first Asturian kings. In 1588 the defeated Spanish Armada took refuge there. Of interest are Roman baths; 14th-, 15th-, and 16th-century palaces; a 15th-century church; and several 17th-century mansions.
Gijon Attractions
A hike up the hill and through Cimadevilla leads to Cerro de Santa Catalina. It is a park on the tip of the pennisula that provides a view of the outstretched coastline forming the port. On the very edge of the penisula is a sculpture the size of a house, Eligio del Horizonte, or Praise of the Horizon. It is one of 16 large sculptures placed in public spaces throughout the city over the last decade.
The seaport of the city of Oporto, Leixoes provides easy access into the city, which is famous for its port wine. Other attractions in Oporto include Torre dos Clrigos, a baroque tower; the two-storied Dom Luis bridge across the Douro River; the Crystal Palace; and the Serralves Museum of Contemporary Art.
Lisbon is a city of great character and endearing charisma. Located in a hilly region at the mouth of the Tagus, the city retains an old world flair with cobbled alleyways in Alfama, the old town. Competing with the elegant avenues of Alto where sorrowful "fado" music fills the evening air is the Chiado, Lisbons affluent shopping district.
Lisbon Attractions
Don't miss the Mosteiro dos Jeronimos, or Jeronimo's Monastery. Commissioned in 1501 after Vasco da Gama's return from his voyage, this remarkable monastery is a beautiful and unique example of Manueline architecture.
Lisbon Activities
Explore the streets of Lisbon from Rossio Square to the main thoroughfare, the Avenida da Liberdade. Visit the monastery and the Maritime Museum, which houses miniature boats and original maps chronicling the history of navigation from the Middle Ages to today.
Visit Sintra, considered one of the most beautiful palaces in Portugal. It was once the summer residence of Portuguese kings and aristocrats.
Walk through the charming village of Fatima, where numerous sightings of the blessed Virgin Mary have been reported.
