[the_mad_cabbie, 26/08/2005] The Phoenix Park in Dublin has the distinction of being the largest inner-city park in the whole of Europe. It is a truly marvellous amenity for the people not only of Dublin, bit of the whole of the country, and for the countless thousands of visitors who visit our Green Isle every year.
When I say that it is a large park, I really do mean it is a LARGE park!! At 1,752 acres, it could quite literally take you days to walk round it completely, and to visit its many attractions. Its easy enough to find. From OConnell Street Bridge in the city centre, simply walk up the quays of the River Liffe

[the_mad_cabbie, 25/08/2005] It would in all probability never even cross your mind to visit a prison as a tourist attraction when visiting a strange city. But if you ever find yourself here in Dublin, the capital of Ireland, then to leave without visiting what is probably one of the most famous prisons in Europe, Kilmainham Gaol, would be a serious omission from your agenda.
No other place in the city will give you quite such an insight into why it is the Irish are so proud of their independence, and I guarantee that you wont leave without feeling the full weight of Irish history bearing down on your shoulders.
