So, you got the chance to visit Dublin, the capital city of Ireland. Supposing you already found some Accommodation Dublin has in it’s offer, you should probably start learning something about the city. The best thing to start with is the city’s name.
Dublin is the name by which English speaking people call the city. It’s not an English name, however – it’s composed of Irish words dubh and linn, meaning black pool. The city owes that name to the River Poddle, one of Dublin’s many water-flows.
The proper Irish name of the city is Baile Atha Cliath, however don’t be disappointed if you can’t pronounce it correctly – just say “Dublin” and everyone will understand you.
