<p align="left"><strong><em>Stag parties in Dublin</em></strong> have become big business for hotels and pubs in Ireland&#8217;s capital city in recent years. The Temple Bar area of the city has become a mecca for dozens of <strong><em>Dublin stag parties</em></strong> each weekend. The vast majority of stag parties in Dublin come from the UK due to the availability of low fares flights and the promise of a good time. It is after all the home of the black stuff-Guinness. For those intending organising a stag party in Dublin the advise is simple. Plan and book well in advance. It can sometimes be difficult to secure hotel rooms for a large group and often hotels are unwilling to accommodate stag parties. However help is at hand. Using the link provided for Dublin hotels groups can book up to 40 rooms in the same hotel. The icing on the cake is that no deposit is required on booking-guests pay on arrival/departure making our facility quite simple the best resource for accommodating stag parties in Dublin.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are looking for <strong><em><a title="Dublin Hotels" href="http://www.irishaccommodationguide.com">Dublin Hotels</a></em></strong> it can be quite a daunting task with so many sites offering all kinds of discounts and gimmicks. Many of these sites promise great rates yet have little availability or have secret add ons. Our advise is to look for sites offering Dublin Hotels that actually allow the individual hotels to set their own rates based on demand and availability.</p>
<p>When booking hotels in Dublin it is also adviseable to book as far in advance as possible to get best rates and secure peace of mind.

By Dara Ward

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Belfast - A Quick Guide<br />
By <a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Dara_Ward">Dara Ward</a></p>
<p>Belfast is the capital city of Northern Ireland. The city is the largest in Northern Ireland and the second largest on the island of Ireland. Located amongst stunning scenery, the city is surrounded by the Glens of Antrim, Castlereagh Hills, Divis Mountain, Cavehill and Black Mountain. The city has a mild, though occasionally rainy climate, and it boasts a population of 276,459 inhabitants. The best selection of <strong><a title="Hotels in Belfast" href="http://www.belfast.globalhotels-24-7.com">Hotels in Belfast</a></strong> can be found at this link which allows you book for up to 40 people!</p>
<p>Belfast has been a settlement since Bronze Age times and examples of Iron Age hill forts can be seen within the city. It was during the 18th century that Belfast began to become the bustling, industrial city that it is today. Between 1969 and the late 1990’s, the city suffered under ‘The Troubles’ - sectarian conflict between republicans and loyalists. However, following a ceasefire by both sides, Belfast has become a popular tourist destination.</p>
<p>Some notable attractions within the city include the impressive City Hall, which was opened in 1906 and is a stunning Classical Renaissance landmark. Resting close to City Hall is the equally impressive Saint Anne’s Cathedral and also the lovely Victorian-built, Belfast Central Library. Another Victorian-built landmark is the striking Queens University Belfast, which rests amongst beautiful gardens. Equally famed for its architecture is the Crown Liquor Saloon, which has remained unchanged since Victorian times and is charmingly gas-lit.</p>
<p>For those interested in nature, Belfast is home the lovely Botanical Gardens, featuring a mixture of local, rare and tropical plants. Another popular outdoor attraction within the city is Belfast Zoo, which is involved in world-wide breeding programmes. Many visitors to the city follow the Mural Tour of large-wall political paintings that can be seen throughout the city. While, for those less politically-minded, the city offers an abundance of cafes, pubs and shops – particularly in Smithfield Market, where one-of-a-kind items are sold by independent retailers.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="center"><strong> A Mini Guide to Lyon France</strong></p>
<p>Lyon is a city in eastern central France. The city is the third largest in the country and it boasts a population of 1,648,216 inhabitants. Lyon is crossed by both the Saône and Rhône rivers, which converge to the south of the city centre. The city began as a Roman colony in 43BC, but it did not begin to thrive until the Middle Ages. In the 15th century the city became an international banking centre, while the 19th century saw Lyon develop as a centre for the silk trade. The city was occupied by German troops during World War II, but it was also a famous centre of resistance. Many locals managed to escape the Gestapo by using the narrow passageways (Traboules) around the city, which were originally used to transport silk. The Traboules have been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Although Lyon is a modern, bustling city, it does boast some wonderful, historic sites. The best deals on all<strong><a title="Hotels in Lyon" href="http://www.lyon.globalhotels-24-7.com"> Hotels in Lyon</a></strong> can be found by clicking this link. The Fourviére area is home to some stunning architecture, not least the Notre-Dame Fourviére Basilica and the beautiful Archbishop’s Palace. Equally fascinating is the area on the western bank of the Saône River, which is home to the original medieval city and has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. For nature-lovers, Lyon offers a large number of beautiful parks, not least Tête d’Or Park, which also houses a charming zoo and botanical gardens. Just 30 minutes away from the city is the stunning Pilat Nature Reserve, which is well worth a visit at any time of year. Lyon is a famed shopping heaven, and visitors should take a trip to the luxurious Carré d’Or district. For less expensive but equally charming purchases, shoppers should explore the area around Rue Victor Hugo; while shoppers looking for unique or antique items should visit the Rue Auguste Comte.</p>
<p>Dara Ward operates over 150 world travel sites. Some include <strong><a title="Hotels in Dublin" href="http://www.dublinhotelreservations.com">Hotels in Dublin</a></strong> and <strong><a title="Hotels in Cannes" href="http://www.cannes.globalhotels-24-7.com">Hotels in Cannes</a></strong> Dara works from home in Wexford Ireland.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Manchester-An Essential Quick Guide to Manchester England</strong></p>
<p>Manchester is a city located in northwestern England. The city is bordered by the Cheshire Plain to the south and the Pennine Moors to the north and the east. It is home to a population of 437,000 inhabitants. Manchester was thought to have been settled in or before Roman times, and the city’s name is derived from its Roman title: Mamucium. In the 18th century, Manchester’s commercial output developed rapidly and the city became the world’s most important industrial centre and the world’s first industrial society.</p>
<p>Today, Manchester is still a vibrant location, with entertainment and attractions to suit all tastes. For those interested in exploring the city’s history, the area around Albert Square offers some stunning examples of architecture through the ages. Some gems dotted around the Square include: the neo-Gothic Manchester Town Hall, the circular, neo-Classical Central Library and Theatre and the beautiful St Mary’s Church – dating back to 1794. For those interested in less historical pursuits, the area around St Ann’s Square offers visitors plenty of shopping opportunities, as well as the chance to relax in some of the area’s cosy cafes. The Northern Quarter was once the centre of the city’s textile industry, but now its home to Manchester’s more avant-garde and artistic establishments. Whether you’re looking for independent music stores, small clothing boutiques or unusual coffee shops, The Northern Quarter is the place to be seen.</p>
<p>Manchester is a welcoming, modern city that is home to a large number of cultures. Chinatown boasts bustling markets and a large portion of the city’s east-Asian restaurants. The city is also home to a large gay community, with culture and nightlife centring around the Canal Street area. From Manchester, tourists can easily take a day-trip to the picturesque Lake District. This area is England’s largest National Park and it spans 885 square miles. The area was carved out by glacial erosion and it boasts 16 lakes. The Lake District offers visitors the chance to enjoy an abundance of water sports and boat trips.<br />
Dara Ward operates over 150 travel based websites. These include <strong><a title="Hotels in Manchester" href="http://www.manchester.globalhotels-24-7.com">Hotels in Manchester</a></strong> and <strong><a title="Hotels in Brighton" href="http://www.brighton.globalhotels-24-7.com">Hotels in Brighton</a></strong>
