Reykjavík is believed to be the location of the first permanent settlement in Iceland, which, according to Ingólfr Arnarson, was established in AD 874. Until the 19th century, there was no urban development in the city location. The city was founded in 1786 as an official trading town and grew steadily over the following decades, as it transformed into a regional and later national centre of commerce, population, and governmental activities. It is among the cleanest, greenest, and safest cities in the world.

Na zachodnim wybrzeżu Irlandii, wśród dramatycznych krajobrazów półwyspu Dingle, leży urocze nadmorskie miasteczko Dingle, gdzie czas płynie jakby wolniej. Ten malowniczy zakątek hrabstwa Kerry urzeka kolorowymi domkami, tradycyjnymi pubami z muzyką na żywo i atmosferą prawdziwej irlandzkiej wioski. W porcie niegdyś mieszkał słynny delfin Fungie — ulubieniec mieszkańców i turystów — a dziś odwiedzający wyruszają stąd na rejsy, by obserwować delfiny i ptaki morskie. Dingle to idealne miejsce dla tych, którzy szukają połączenia natury, kultury i przygody. W pobliżu znajdują się prehistoryczne kamienne forty i wczesnochrześcijańskie miejsca, a z samego miasteczka zaczyna się jedna z najpiękniejszych tras widokowych Irlandii — Slea Head Drive. Można tu spróbować lodów z mleka owczego, skosztować świeżych owoców morza i usłyszeć, jak brzmi prawdziwy język irlandzki — gaelicki, który wciąż żyje w codziennym użyciu.

Cork is a city in south-west Ireland, in the province of Munster, which had a population of 125,657 in 2016.

The city is on the River Lee which splits into two channels at the western end and divides the city centre into islands. They reconverge at the eastern end where the quays and docks along the river banks lead outwards towards Lough Mahon and Cork Harbour, one of the largest natural harbours in the world.

Expanded by Viking invaders around 915, the city's charter was granted by Prince John, as Lord of Ireland, in 1185. Cork city was once fully walled, and the remnants of the old medieval town centre can be found around South and North Main streets.

The third largest city on the island of Ireland, the city's cognomen of "the rebel city" originates in its support for the Yorkist cause in the Wars of the Roses. Corkonians often refer to the city as "the real capital", a reference to its opposition to the Anglo-Irish Treaty in the Irish Civil War.
