Not a typo, but actually the real beginnings of the settlement, named after the dark pool from which the city got its name. The gardens are just behind the castle, but avoid at lunch time if it's a nice day as the office folk turn out in force!

We went for a stroll here pretty early on the Sunday morning and it was serene and lovely, I guess students really do sleep in on the weekends!! Next time we go back to Dublin we'll go for a guided tour but this was a pretty good way to see the place.

Meaning "drink and look" I loved this fountain and all its ornate carvings. I can't believe it's so old, it was built around 1600! Impressive, make sure you seek it out!

We went here on our first day and it was a wonderful introduction to the Moroccan way of life. I was totally enchanted by the architecture of the building as well as the collections themselves.

I had no idea what to expect of a museum offering Berber arts, crafts and culture but it was completely engrossing. I loved the cedarwood furniture too and don't just walk by the carved doors, they are exquisite as well.
