Dublin Diaries: Zainab Jeoffrey

I love travelling and my latest adventure took me to Dublin, Ireland. My trip to Dublin was amazing – I’ve visited many European capitals, but this city has a very different charm. If you like visiting cities rich in history and monuments, Dublin will blow you away. The main attraction here is the Irish folklore and the laid-back lifestyle. The people of Dublin are extremely friendly and helpful; the pedestrian friendly city is also very safe! The weather is mostly pleasant throughout the year; not too cold and not hot at all. Dublin also happens to be very up to date with the latest trends from all around Europe for those who love to shop. With buzzing streets like Grafton Street, you can watch upcoming artists singing and dancing and really get a feel of how happy-go-lucky and entertaining the Irish community is. So if you want to soak in the rich history and extensive culture that the region has to offer, visiting Dublin is a must!
