dover, england

Departure: 16:30

Dover is a historic town in the southeast of England. Dover is a major port town facing into the English Channel and, at just 21 miles from the French port of Calais, it is the closest port to continental Europe on mainland Britain. It is most famous for its white chalk cliffs, which have been celebrated in a song. Dover is a lot more than just a port town. One of the most famous landmarks is its castle, which dominates the surrounding area and sits proudly above the white cliffs and the harbour below. There are also other fantastic sites to visit in and around Dover, such as Samphire Hoe, a nature reserve created from the spoil of the Channel Tunnel workings, the secret wartime tunnels which were dug into the white cliffs of Dover, the Roman Painted House, or the Bronze Age Boat.

Day 4

liverpool, england

Arrival: 08:00 - Departure: 17:00

It's hard to bring up Liverpool without a thought of the Beatles. This band is still a source of pride for the Scousers, but that shouldn't eclipse the other attractions in this city on England's west coast. Its undeniable cultural vitality today is evident in the restoration and repurposing of its industrial heritage, the transformation of the Albert Dock into a cultural and leisure hub, the opening of the Tate Gallery or the creation of the Garden Festival have made Liverpool one of the most lively cities in the country. Without question, Albert Dock is the main sight in Liverpool. A series of sturdy brick warehouses encircle a basin. A World Heritage site, the Albert Dock is home to the award-winning Tate Liverpool, the Merseyside Maritime Museum and the striking International Slavery Museum. With so much to see and do, take a breather in one of the many bars, cafes and restaurants dotted around the dock. And then there's the Beatles. There are many spots around the city that honour this legendary band, museums, bars, shops, hotels and cafeterias themed around the band’s history draw many music pilgrims. All these Beatles sites share the limelight with another symbol of the city: The Metropolitan Cathedral, the largest cathedral in the UK, also draws many tourists due to its unique architecture. Of course, you can't discuss Liverpool without bringing up football. Here, at Anfield stadium, home of Liverpool F.C, visitors will learn everything there is to know about this great club. Around the stadium there are a few pubs for pre-match pints and to meet the team’s passionate supporters first-hand. Now, that's the real Liverpool experience.

Day 5

glasgow (greenock), scotland

Arrival: 09:00 - Departure: 19:00

Greenock is a historic industrial town on the Firth of Clyde, about 25 miles west of Glasgow. It began as a small fishing community before developing into a major port, with the first dock on the River Clyde built here in 1711. The town’s maritime heritage is showcased at the Custom House Museum. Much of Greenock’s west end still features impressive Victorian architecture, most notably the 245-foot-high Victoria Tower, which was never fully completed. Other highlights include the McLean Museum and Art Gallery, and the Old West Kirk, dating from 1591, which contains stained-glass windows by artists such as Dante Gabriel Rossetti.

Day 6

belfast, northern ireland

Arrival: 08:00 - Departure: 17:00

Belfast, an chathair a bhí tráite ag cathanna tráth, tá a fíor-staid athbhainte aici mar sheod folaithe na hÉireann. Le gach a atracthaíocht agus a cáil nua mar chathair oíche, tá sé ina áit bheoga anois. Is é Halla Cathrach Bhéal Feirste rud nach féidir leat a chailleadh nuair a thugann tú cuairt ar an chathair. Suite ag Cearnóg Dhún na nGall, croílár na cathrach, tá fuinneoga gloine dhaite áille agus murlaí a léiríonn stair Bhéal Feirste sa fhoirgneamh Renaissance seo. Ar na docanna den abhainn, is féidir leat dealbh curiarrach de iasc mór a fheiceáil. Taobh thiar de, tá Titanic Bhéal Feirste. Is ionad taitneamhachta idirghníomhach é Titanic Bhéal Feirste a osclaíodh chun comóradh a dhéanamh ar an 100ú comóradh do bád an long. Tá sé suite i gCeantar Titanic, an forbairt chósta is mó in Eoraip, meascán nua-aimseartha de spás cónaithe, tráchtála, turasóireachta, oideachais agus miondíola a thug ceantar uirbeach nua do Bhéal Feirste. Ceann de na hattrachtaí nach féidir a shéanadh sa chathair ná na murlaí polaitiúla ar Bóthar na Seanchille, tá breis agus 700 acu agus léiríonn siad an t-ama achrannach a bhí ag an chathair. Ach gan dabht, tá Bhéal Feirste ag breathnú ar an todhchaí. Tá bairr agus bialanna galánta go leor sa chathair agus cuirfidh a muintir chroíúil agus cairdiúil grá ionat do Bhéal Feirste.

Day 7

dublin, ireland

Arrival: 07:30 - Departure: 17:30

Dublin has been the backdrop for many novels and it's no surprise given its written tradition dates back to 800 A.D. with The Book of Kells, which is now on display at Trinity College, Ireland's oldest university. The city is the birthplace of many literary figures such as Joyce, Beckett, Yeats, Shawn and Wilde to name but a few. The city's Georgian elegance blends seamlessly with the medieval and modern architecture that gives Dublin its unique character. One can't deny that Dublin is a city of culture; the UNESCO designated Ireland's capital as the city of literature in 2010. Culture enthusiasts are also spoilt for choice when it comes to museums and galleries. From the National Museum of Ireland and the National Library to the National Gallery and the charming Little Museum of Dublin housing the lectern that US president JFK used to address the National Parliament in 1963, there is plenty to take in. Not to forget of course the magnificent Dublin Castle dating back to the 13th century. Aside from its splendid riches, the best thing about this city is its people. Dubliners are friendly, warm, surprisingly outgoing and witty, even more so after a few pints of Guinness. In its over 1000 pubs one makes friends easily. It should be compulsory for tourists to spend some time in a pub as it is one of the most memorable experiences of a visit to Ireland. Dublin is also a young city, it has one of the youngest populations in Europe, around half of its inhabitants are believed to be under the age of 25. This fact has made the city vibrant, dynamic, energetic and ambitious. Dublin is brimming with trendy bars, sophisticated restaurants and lively clubs, the epicentre being the buzzing Temple Bar area. Live music is a religion in Ireland and Dublin is its mecca. The city's live music scene is superb and has given the world a number of global musical superstars from U2 and Westlife to The Script and Sinead O’Connor. Everyone is welcome in this now multicultural city, but be warned, Dublin, like its people, is so charismatic and infectious that you may never want to leave.

Day 8

cork, ireland

Arrival: 08:00 - Departure: 19:00

Cork is Ireland’s second city, but many see it as the country’s leading Gaelic stronghold and the real capital. It’s a welcoming, cosmopolitan and lively place. The River Lee runs through the city before meeting one of the world’s largest natural harbours, with some 29 bridges linking its most distinctive quarters. Cork is a major cultural and artistic hub, home to film, jazz and poetry festivals such as the Cork Midsummer Festival, and it was named European Capital of Culture in 2005. South of the River Lee, St Finbarr’s Cathedral rises above the city, a richly detailed limestone church with three striking spires dedicated to Cork’s founder and patron saint. In the Shandon district, St Anne’s Church offers sweeping views from its tower and the chance to ring its 200‑year‑old bells. The Shandon neighbourhood has kept its authenticity, full of narrow lanes and colourful shops. St Patrick’s Street, built over a former canal, is the city’s main thoroughfare and is noted for the architecture of its buildings. Between St Patrick’s Street and the Grand Parade stands the English Market, a covered food market recently restored, in continuous use since 1610, though the current building dates from 1786. Proudly rebellious and strongly nationalistic, Cork carries the tang of sea air and a deep sense of itself. Its oceanic energy and easy‑going joie de vivre are among the city’s defining qualities.
