It's hard to bring up Liverpool without the Beatles coming to mind.

All these Beatles sites share the limelight with another city symbol: The Metropolitan Cathedral, the largest cathedral in the UK, also draws many tourists with its unique architecture.

dublin, ireland

Arrival: 07:30 - Departure: 17:30

Dublin has served as the backdrop for numerous novels, which is hardly surprising given its rich literary history that dates back to 800 A.D. with The Book of Kells, currently on display at Trinity College, Ireland's oldest university. The city is the birthplace of many renowned authors including Joyce, Beckett, Yeats, Shawn, and Wilde, to name a few. Dublin's Georgian elegance seamlessly merges with its medieval and modern architecture, giving the city its unique character. It's undeniable that Dublin is a city steeped in culture; in fact, UNESCO named it the city of literature in 2010. Those who appreciate culture will be spoiled for choice with the city's museums and galleries. From the National Museum of Ireland and the National Library to the National Gallery and the charming Little Museum of Dublin, which houses the lectern used by US President JFK to address the National Parliament in 1963, there's plenty to explore. And let's not forget the impressive Dublin Castle, which dates back to the 13th century. But beyond its cultural and historical treasures, what truly sets Dublin apart are its people. Dubliners are friendly, warm, surprisingly outgoing, and witty, especially after a few pints of Guinness. With over 1000 pubs, it's easy to make friends in this city. It's practically a requirement for tourists to spend some time in a pub, as it's one of the most memorable experiences of a visit to Ireland. Dublin is also a youthful city, boasting one of the youngest populations in Europe, with about half of its residents believed to be under the age of 25. This has resulted in a city that's vibrant, dynamic, energetic, and ambitious. Dublin is teeming with trendy bars, upscale restaurants, and lively clubs, with the bustling Temple Bar area at its heart. Live music is practically a religion in Ireland, and Dublin is its holy city. The city's live music scene is exceptional and has produced numerous global music superstars, from U2 and Westlife to The Script and Sinead O’Connor. Everyone is welcome in this multicultural city, but be warned: Dublin, like its people, is so charismatic and captivating that you may never want to leave.

Day 8

cork, ireland

Arrival: 08:00 - Departure: 19:00

Cork is the second largest city in Ireland, but for some, it's the top Gaelic city and the true capital of the country. Cork is welcoming, worldly, and vibrant. The River Lee runs through the city, leading to one of the largest natural harbors in the world, and it takes about 29 bridges to link its most unique features. Cork is a significant cultural and artistic center, hosting important film, jazz, and poetry festivals like the Cork Midsummer Festival. In 2005, Cork was named the European Capital of Culture. South of the River Lee, St Finbarr's Cathedral, a beautiful limestone structure with three striking spires dedicated to the city's founder and patron, towers over the rest of the city. Visit St. Anne’s church in the Shandon district for the view from the tower and the 200-year-old bells. The Shandon neighborhood has maintained its original charm, filled with narrow streets and vibrant shops. St Patrick's Street, a covered canal, is the city's main thoroughfare and is known for its architectural buildings. Between St Patrick’s Street and Grand Parade is The English Market, a covered fruit and vegetable market that has been in operation since 1610, although the current building was built in 1786. Cork is rebellious and nationalistic, with a scent of sea breeze and a preserved authenticity. The city's oceanic vitality and a carefree zest for life are among its most treasured traits.
