After a delightful High Tea at the Windsor Hotel, we walked to St. Patrick's Cathedral to admire the gothic architecture, the peacefulness and gardens surrounding the Cathedral.

Worth a visit, the building is pristine. The craftsmanship is truly great. Amazing stained glass windows, wood carving, stone masonry etc I had a nice chat with the vicar as well. Very gothic in design (the building lol, not the vicar :) If you like architecture, definitely worth the visit! Enjoy :)

If you're used to the cathedrals in Europe, this isn't very special. Though good to walk in for a few minutes. No entry fee.

love the architecture and the peacefulness of these cathedrals. Just to wander around the external area to admire the architecture is worth doing too.
