Get ready to immerse yourself in the charm of the Irish capital of Dublin, where every corner tells a tale. Despite being one of Ireland’s tiniest counties, it’s by far one of the most popular ones. Let’s dive into five facts that’ll make you see it in a whole new light.

Size Doesn’t Matter

Who says big things only come in big packages? Dublin may be the third-smallest county in Ireland, but it’s a bustling hub with a population of around 1.45 million—making it the home of one-third of the Irish population.

Viking Vibes

Did you know Dublin was once a Viking settlement? Yep. Norse warriors settled there in the 9th century, laying the groundwork for the city’s epic history.

Youth Central

Dublin isn’t just young at heart—it’s officially the youngest city in Europe! With nearly half the population under 25, there’s a youthful energy around every corner.

Bridge Goals

Hold onto your hats—O’Connell Bridge isn’t your average crossing. It’s the only bridge in Europe with the same width as its length! Built back in 1863, it’s a true Dublin icon.

Lost in Translation

Ever wonder what Dublin’s name means in Irish? You’ll see “Baile Átha Cliath” on the signs, which translates to “Town of the Hurdled Ford.” And the more widely known “Dubh Linn”? That’s Irish for “Black Pool,” a nod to its Viking past.

Though not on the official list of the “7 Wonders of the Word” the Dead Sea is certainly a wonder of nature drawing visitors from all over the world. But here are a few things you may not have known about the Dead Sea. 

Lowest Point on Earth

The surface of the Dead Sea is the lowest land point on Earth, located more than 1,400 feet below sea level. As you make your way down, you’ll feel the altitude drop and your ears clog like you do during a flight landing. Oh yes, and there is also a bar by the Dead Sea, making it the lowest bar in the world!

Healing Properties

The minerals in the water and mud have incredible healing properties, particularly for skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema. Many people visit the Dead Sea to immerse themselves in its waters and apply the mineral-rich mud – a fun outdoor spa experience.

Shrinking Size

The Dead Sea is shrinking in size every year. Its water levels have been decreasing due to various factors, including reduced water flowing from the Jordan River. As a result, the Sea is becoming smaller over time. So better visit it while you still have a chance!

For people around the world, Australia is one of the most interesting places in the world. It has so much to offer, from beautiful beaches to rich history and an incredible art and food scene. Here are three fun facts you probably didn’t know about Australia.

There Are More Sheep Than People

Believe it or not, there are more sheep living in Australia than there are people. In fact, the number is more than twice bigger. This, however, is not as shocking as the New Zealand statistics, where there are 3 million people and 60 million sheep.

Most Greeks Outside Greece

There are around 400,000 Australians of Greek ancestry living in Melbourne, which means the city has the largest Greek population outside of Greece. So, if you fancy greek food while in Melbourne, know that it’ll be worth your while.

Most Animals Don’t Live Anywhere Else

Around 90% of Australia’s animals don’t naturally live anywhere else on the planet (according to Australia’s Nature Conservancy). In this group are animals like koalas, wombats, echidna, and tiger quoll. Interestingly, kangaroos don’t belong to this group. This animal’s origins are in South America although most of them live in Australia today.

Lombard Street is one of San Francisco’s top tourist attractions that you can check out without paying a dime, but here’s a couple of fun facts that will make you see this crooked street in a whole new light.

Safety First

If you’ve ever wondered why Lombard Street features so many sharp switchbacks, there’s a perfectly reasonable explanation. It was designed this way in 1922, as a way of reducing 27% grade of the hill, which was considered too steep for both the cars and the pedestrians.

Busy Traffic

If you’re thinking of driving down Lombard Street while in San Francisco, you’ll have to be patient. You can only drive 8 km/h, and it’s sometimes required to wait up to 20 minutes for your turn because this street is always packed.

Not Most Crooked

This tourist attraction is often described as “the crookedest street in the world,” but that’s a misconception. This title actually belongs to Snake Alley in Burlington, Iowa, and even San Francisco’s Vermont Street is believed to be more crooked than Lombard’s.
