Saint Patrick’s Cathedral in Dublin, formally known as The National Cathedral and Collegiate Church of Saint Patrick, Dublin or in the Irish language as Árd Eaglais Naomh Pádraig, founded in 1191, is the larger of Dublin’s two Church of Ireland cathedrals, and the largest church in Ireland. Unusually it is not today the seat of a bishop, as Dublin’s Church of Ireland Archbishop has his seat in Christ Church Cathedral, with Saint Patrick’s being (since 1870) the National Cathedral for the whole island, drawing chapter members from each of the twelve dioceses of the Church of Ireland. Saint Patrick’s is headed by a Dean, an office which has existed since 1219, the most famous holder being Jonathan Swift. Plan your summer holidays in Ireland. Nice and fun tourist location, one of best travel cities.

Mount Royal (Mont Royal) is a mountain on the Island of Montreal, immediately north of downtown Montreal, Quebec, Canada, the city to which it gave its name. The mountain is part of the Monteregian Hills situated between the Laurentians and the Appalachians. It gave its Latin name, Mons Regius, to the Monteregian chain. The mountain consists of three peaks: Colline de la Croix (or Mont Royal proper) at 233 metres (764 feet), Colline d’Outremont (or Mount Murray, in the borough of Outremont ) at 211 metres (692 feet), and Westmount mount at 201 metres (659 feet) elevation above mean sea level. At this height, it might be otherwise considered a very tall hill, but it has always been called a mountain. Far tourist location, but nice to see.

The Jardines del Buen Retiro or Parque del Buen Retiro (literally “Gardens” or “Park of the Pleasant Retreat”) is a large and popular 1.4 km² (350 acre) park at the edge of Madrid’s city center, very near the Puerta de Alcalá and not far from the Museo del Prado. Once a retreat (retiro) in the monastery of San Geronimo outside Madrid, where the king could withdraw during Lent, bringing the court with him, Buen Retiro became the center of Habsburg court life. The park is now entirely surrounded by the present-day city. Nice tourist location for walking. A lot of history and cultural spots you can find in Madrid.
