hi everyone. i'm trying to decide on a vacation destination, and dublin is one of my options. i will be going mid-march. i'm going with my boyfriend, we're both in our 20s. we love to go out dancing, meeting new people, shopping, and eating at unique restaurants. we love great architecture and scenic views. and of course it has to be romantic. :) i'm worried about the weather that time of year in dublin. i imagine the scenery will not be that calming green we have all seen in pictures. is ireland a good place for a couple like us to go? if not, any other ideas?

Dublin is a great idea, Ireland offers huge variety in things to do and welcomes over five million visitors every year. There is a saying that in Ireland there are no strangers, only friends you have yet to meet. The Irish are warm and welcoming, and have made conversation an art form and the pursuit of it a national pastime. The pace of life is relaxed, so there is always time for talk. there the magnificent Dublin Castle in the capital city, the Dublin Zoo that offers more than the typical lions, tigers, and bears.You’ll see unique animals in Ireland like the Galway sheep without any horns. St Patricks Cathedral is a great place to visit while in Dublin. Services are held every day of the year and a beautiful park north of the cathedral is home to statues of prominent Irish writers. The Guinness Brewery, no trip to Dublin (or even Ireland) would be complete without a trip to the famed Guinness Brewery. For many beer enthusiasts, a visit to the brewery is almost a pilgrimage of sorts. And for your night fun you have
