My girlfriend and I heard about this place and just had to visit. The question: what do you do with all the communist trappings once you have stopped living in a communist country. answer: put them all in one place! A surreal but really interesting place!

Oooh the theme parks are fun but sometimes I just don't want to stand in line or wait! and that's when I go to silver springs, sometimes for a long walk, sometimes to just sit by the water and watch the kids let off steam, but it's always rewarding and i feel ready to face the theme parks for another day!

Three generations on holiday together can often be tricky but everyone enjoyed the water park, with good rides and plenty of sun loungers the kids were as pleased as the adults who were getting some much-needed rest!

This is an enormous area of Parkland outside of the city centre. There's a lot to keep you entertained here with a zoo, a lake with boats for hire, a ferris wheel and rollercoaster and a zoo. The cable railway has great views over the park and the city and there is a guide to tell you what to look out for.

Phoenix Park is the largest enclosed urban garden in Europe and sits just on the periphery of Dublin. The People's Gargen is worth a look as it has some lovely flower beds and the obelisk to the Duke of Wellington is the most famous landmark in the park. The Park was initially designed for hunting purposes and you can still find deer grazing in the grounds.
