Belfast and Dublin Tour - Part 3 / Tuesday, February 27, 2007
No. 2 City Hall
Ok, firstly I must say its not that bad an attraction. Famous figures, the city's history, well what can you expect from a city hall.. Not that its not good and all, but being to all the other landmarks and guided tours, another tour on the history of Dublin gets a bit boring... Not to mention that the museum at the bottom is not free and its not a particularly huge museum. Only thing interesting thing is the stack of carve images of histories on the sheets of glass, as you can see from above... Well, if you are really a history buff, no harm going there...
No. 1 Bram Stocker's Dracula Experience
Ok, this one tops my chart of the worst attraction ever!!! As first look at the brochure, it looks so cool!! Only opening on weekends, being at the city outskirts, birthplace of the Dracula Author and all, we thought that it was a real thrill and all... BUT... After taking some 1 plus euro bus ride there, we were expecting a castle or something, but no... its a bar!! wat?? This attraction is exactly on top of a pub.. No wonder it only opens on weekends.. Ok, since it is included in our Dublin pass, why not try it.. By the way, the original price is 8 euro!!!
The entrance is in some door behind a pool table and is shared with toilets along the way. Yeah, going through the series of stairs and walkways with gruesome images and all is really dumb... And I thought Haw Par Villa was bad enough... Within 10 minutes of climbing up and down, going round and round, the exit happens to be the entrance too... The whole place is the size of normal terrace house... -___- We were expecting the 2 movie screens that were supposed to show some Dracula movie to work at the end.. But no!! Gosh, after the horrendous trip, we decided to walk all the way back to the city, which is some 4km... -___- Wat a waste of time and money.. Dun ever come here if u are deciding to visit Dublin...
