Rome Italy Travel Information

    View: 
Newry lies in the most south-eastern part of Northern Ireland, in the north-south corridor between Belfast and Dublin. As such it has developed into one of the most popular shopping towns in Ireland. Cross border trade has increased, which has meant both the Quays and the Buttercrane enjoying high footfall in their stores.



Newry's recent past has seen it being conferred with city status in 2002. One of two cities in Northern Ireland bestowed with this honour by the Queen, the other being Lisburn.

Newry history shows that it was founded in 1144 alongside a Cistercian Monastery. It was destroyed by fire in 1689 by the forces of King James II during the Williamite war. The city was rebuilt afterwards and became a busy trading town. By 1742 its port became the busiest in Ulster and as result its canal opened making it the first major canal in Britain, it ran for 18 miles to Lough Neagh.

Newry is also the home of Ireland's highest viaduct, Craighmore Viaduct which lies to the North of the city and consists of 18 arches; it was designed by Sir John O Neill and opened in 1852.

The city has strong links to St Patrick, the English interpretation of the name comes from the Irish (Lur Chinn Tra) which means the yew at the head of the strand, which St Patrick is said to have planted in the 5th Century.

Ireland's first protestant church is also in the city and bears St Patrick's name. It first opened its doors in 1578. Newry's other main Cathedral is St Patrick's and St Colman's which was built in 1829, it was designed by architect Thomas Duff.

Newry offers some of the finest scenery in Northern Ireland, with the Ring of Gullion to the south-west and the Mourne Mountains to the east. Both have been designated as areas of outstanding natural beauty. The river Clanrye runs through the city and historically formed the border between Armagh and Down. The city's Town Hall was built on top of the river.

Newry can boast some famous sons with Pat Jennings, former goalkeeper and Northern Ireland's most capped player born in the city. Mountaineer Terence ?Banjo? Bannon is from the city, as is John Dunlop, prominent Presbyterian churchman. John Mitchell, the driving force behind the Young Ireland Movement is buried in the Old Meeting House in the city.

Newry has a population which has grown steadily and in a census carried out in 2001 its population numbered 27433 people. Newry house prices have also increased dramatically by 371% since 1996, topping a poll for the whole of the United Kingdom.

Sport plays a major part in the fabric of the city with Pairc Esler being the home of Down GAA. The city also boasts a soccer club which play at the Showgrounds in the city. There are a wide range of activities available in the city, with a museum, arts centre and a number of art galleries available.

Accommodation in the city can be found in the magnificent surroundings of the Canal Court Hotel. Centrally located, the hotel offers a superb base while staying in the city.

As you can see Newry has a varied history and a lot to offer for those tourists looking a short break away from it all. So come and stay in Newry and experiences all the city has to offer.
Rome Italy Travel Information
It is a vibrant city that has the contrasts of old and new buildings. Within KL you will experience shopping malls, restaurants, hotels that range from budget hotels, 3 star hotels, 4 star hotels and 5 star international hotels in the city of Kuala Lumpur.

There is also an exciting nightlife in KL that one can enjoy the bright lights of the city with restaurants from fine dining to local restaurants like Malay, Chinese, Indian to international restaurants. With the Twin Towers - KLCC in the heart of the city - Golden Triangle within the surrounding hotels, the view is breath taking at night.

Kuala Lumpur is also known as the "City that Never Sleeps". Museums, KL tower, shopping malls, history, tourist attractions like the lake gardens, art galleries and indian street & china town are the best places to be.

Malaysia Tourist Information Complex (MATIC) - A good place to begin any visit to Kuala Lumpur is the one-stop information centre, which provides a general picture of what the city and Malaysia have to offer. Audio-visual equipment provides background information on each state in the country. You can book a tour, arrange to go on a trishaw ride in the city, change your money, and book air or bus tickets to various destinations in Malaysia. International calls, facsimile and telex services are also offered. For your first taste of Malaysian cuisine, there is a restaurant in the right wing of the building. Cultural performances are held daily.

National Zoo and Aquarium - Thirteen kilometers north-east of Kuala Lumpur is the National Zoo. It contains hundreds of different species of animals, birds, and reptiles. The aquarium has an extensive collection of marine and freshwater species. Both the zoo and aquarium are open daily from 9am to 6pm.

Central Market - Fifty years ago this site was occupied by a wet market. Today, the art-deco structure of the central market is a centre for the display and development of Malaysian culture, arts and crafts. There are many performances, demonstrations, and activities offered here, including batik painting, fortune telling, shadow puppet plays, glass blowing, dance classes, art classes, and many others. The building won the coronation architecture design award in 1953.

Petaling Street - The center of Kuala Lumpur's original chinatown. Petaling Street maintains much of its traditional atmosphere, particularly at night when vendors spread their wares out on the street. While it is possible to purchase anything from gems and incense to toys and t-shirts here, enjoying the night market is really a matter of just wandering about and enjoying its sights, sounds and energy.

Menara Kuala Lumpur ( KL Tower ) - Functioning as a telecommunications tower, the KL Tower has an observation deck for visitors to enjoy the ever dynamic skyline of Kuala Lumpur. The Tower sits on "Pineapple Hill" or Bukit Nanas which also harbours the Bukit nanas forest reserve.

Petronas Twin Tower - The world's tallest twin towers are not to be missed. Go early for the guided tour which takes you up to the skybridge on the 41st and 42nd floors.

China Town / Petaling Street - Bargains galore! Shopping at Petaling street is fun as haggling is the main order of business. You can always get a good bargain here. Petaling street is a five minute walk away from the central market.

Dataran Merdeka / Merdeka Square -The British Union Jack was lowered for the last time here, when Malaysia gained its independence on 31st August 1957. Surrounding the square are many buildings of historical interest such as the Tudor-style royal selangor club, the national history museum, memorial library and St Mary's cathedral, a gothic-style church.

Little India or Masjid India is simply splendid! Chaos reigns with motorbikes tooting, people jostling, peddlars shouting and hailers blaring Hindi music amidst colourful displays of Indian fabrics, home wares and the most current movies. Awaken the senses to the smell of incense, spices and curries wafting from every corner. A delightful experience not to be missed!
