Destination of the month #1: Dublin & St Patrick's Day


St. Patrick

It is not easy to choose only one destination, but with spring just around the corner we wanted to tell you more about Dublin. In spring it is certainly the ideal time to discover the city and if you love to participate in traditional events on St. Patrick's Day is definitely a good opportunity for a break, the most anticipated annual event in Ireland.

St. Patrick's Day – It is a religious festival that is celebrated internationally on March 17th. A day that commemoratas Saint Patrick, the patron saints of Ireland and the arrival of Christianity into Ireland. Those who want to celebrate without focusing on the religious aspect will not be disappointed. The St. Patrick's Day Festival is celebrated from March 16th – 19th – which includes three days of fun, parades, people dressed in green (the official national color) and parties where you can happily rejoice by drinking beer and Irish whiskey. For more detailed info: http://www.stpatricksfestival.ie
