Rosario

Rosario is the third largest city in Argentina and the largest city in Santa Fe province, at the Paraná river. It is known for its rich architectural heritage and beautiful riverside scenery, and offers a vibrant cultural and night life.

The city itself has about 1.1 million inhabitants, but considering the suburbs it rivals Córdoba in importance, with about 1.6 million living in the metro area. Economically it is the second most important port of the country and an important industrial hub, with a large and renowned university. In modern times, it is also known as the hometown of famous Argentinian fútbol world champions Lionel Messi and Ángel Di María; there are numerous murals of them around the city. The local derby, Rosario Central vs Newell's Old Boys, is also one of the most iconic in South America, and indeed of world football.

Understand
The third most populated city of the country, Rosario is gradually becoming a tourism destination. The attractive city center has some of the finest art nouveau buildings in Argentina. Also, Rosario has developed a good skyline in the area near the river. There are lots of beautiful parks, good riverside beaches for the hot summer days, and many museums.

Rosario has a reputation for being one the most liberal and tolerant cities of the country. It has a vibrant LGBT scene and is governed by left-wing mayors since the 1980s.

Being located at a major drug-trafficking route, Rosario has a somewhat bad reputation for being a hub of crime - one of the nicknames is Little Chicago - but tourists normally won't get affected, as the problematic neighborhoods are well outside of the city center and the interesting areas for tourists are not more dangerous than in Buenos Aires or Córdoba.

Weather
Rosario has a temperate climate, and is known for changeable weather conditions. The average annual high is 23.4°C (74.1°F) and the low is 11.6°C (52.9°F). The annual rainfall is 1,038 mm (40.9 in). Summers are hot and humid with thunderstorms that can bring a lot of precipitation. However, sunny days are common. Spring and fall have pleasant weather, featuring warm days and cool nights. Winters are generally cool though occasional cold air masses from the south can cause temperatures to drop below freezing. However, sunny weather and warm days can also occur during winters.

By plane
There are daily flights (50 min) from Buenos Aires Aeroparque Airport and Ezeiza Airport, although still the more convenient way to get into the city is to hire transport at EZE Airport. It is a four hour trip. There are also flights from/to Brazil, Perú, Panama, and Uruguay.

By train
Trenes Argentinos runs a daily train from Buenos Aires. After a renovation in 2015 the service is improving slowly, but compared to buses the train is still slower. Additionally, twice a week there are trains from Córdoba (via Villa María) and San Miguel de Tucumán (via Santiago del Estero). These trains are still very cheap, but slow and you must reserve your ticket well in advance. Train services from the provincial capital Santa Fe are still suspended.

Rosario has two railway stations, in general disembarking at Rosario North is preferable as it's closer to downtown.

By car
Two freeways (autopistas) connect Rosario with Buenos Aires, Santa Fe, and to Cordoba. Locals take the bus, a remisse (a private taxi service), or hail one of the many taxis roaming the area.

By bus
The most cost-effective and convenient way of travelling in Argentina. Rosario is approximately a four hour bus journey from the capital Buenos Aires, and there are many buses departing daily from the Rosario bus station to almost every city in the country. It is also possible to travel by bus to southern Brazil, Chile, Peru, and Bolivia. EGA bus lines operates a daily bus direct to Montevideo, leaving at 23:50 and arriving in Montevideo at 08:30 next morning.

By bus
The only forms of public transportation in Rosario are above ground: the bus system and a trolleybus line. As in other Argentine cities, there is a system with rechargeable prepaid cards.

By bicycle
Rosario is one of the most bicycle-friendly cities in Argentina. The cycleway network is almost as large as the Buenos Aires one, although the city is significantly smaller, and the flat topography makes the city ideal for using this kind of transport. There is a public bicycle renting system in the city centre, Tu Bici Mi Bici, with automatic stations.

By taxi
Rosario has a plethora of very inexpensive taxis all over the city. In the city center and surrounding areas, you should have no problem finding a taxi at any hour of the day between 7:30am-midnight. On weekends, taxis are very easily accessible much later in the night. Due to their ease of accessibility and their relatively low cost, taxis are an excellent way to get to know the city.

Museums

Do
Rosario is swimming with things to do for both tourists and locals. Providing an adventurous variety of services such as: kayaking, biking, skydiving, horseback riding, sailboating, Spanish classes, dance classes in both folklore and tango, guitar and drum classes, as well as capoeira and many others.

You can go to the beach at the river's edge, locally referred to as La Florida, to enjoy a cold drink on a summer's day, or cross the river to the island and spend a day at the beach. Either way you will find a wide variety of bars and restaurants with a spectacular view of the Parana!

Also known for their nightlife, which amazingly starts around 02:00 (with luck) and ends as the sun is coming up, Rosario counts on a large variety of night clubs and discos to dance the night away!

Rosario is also known as the Salsa Capital of Argentina. Wednesdays and Sundays are the most popular days at Willie Dixon's.

Buy
American travellers might be surprised to see that many of the goods sold in “el centro” (city centre / downtown), are much like that in any mall. Goods that might interest travellers, however, are the leather handbags, wallets, belts, and accessories. A must-see shop in that area is Raices, the perfect shop to pick up a purse or mate set.

Also note that, although the currency difference, apparel, shoes, handbags, etc., are not that much cheaper than in the US. If you're looking for a bargain, stick to the street vendors and artisans posted up around El Centro and the park surrounding the Argentine Flag Monument.

A great store not found in Buenos Aires (possibly anywhere in Argentina) is called Underworld. It is found in a number of locations in Rosario and stocks different and interesting t-shirts and other funky clothes and accessories for girls.

Alto Rosario is a shopping center that contains a large grocery store, clothing stores, electronics stores, convenience stores, a food court, and anything else you might imagine to be in a standard mall. The Alto Rosario is a great place to get all your shopping needs in one place. It is located at Junín 501.

Burgers
On Rosario there are various places where you can to eat burgers.
 * Orik.
 * Rato.

Ice cream parlours
The city of Rosario is known as the capital of handcrafted ice cream.
 * El Sallvador.
 * Renato.
 * Americo.
 * Americo.

Drink
Rosario is known for having big nightclub nights all week long. Ask around to find out where the hip place is for the night you want to go out and don't plan to be home until the morning. It is also famous for having a disproportionately large woman/man ratio (more women). Craft beer is also becoming very popular among the locals, and many microbreweries are popping up around the city.

Stay safe
With some common sense, the average tourist should have no problem staying out of trouble in Rosario. While the city has gotten a somewhat bad reputation for gang violence in the past, this gang violence is very unlikely to affect travelers. One problem that does occasionally affect both locals and travelers, however, is theft, which has been on the rise over the last couple of years. Many locals and travelers have reported having their belongings such as wallets, phones and jewelry stolen by assailants, sometimes even in broad daylight. To avoid this, one should be extra vigilant when walking in places that are not too busy, especially at night. Try and make sure you only venture in crowded areas. Should you be the victim of a mugging, cooperate with the assailant's demands by handing over what he is requesting (refusing to cooperate can lead to further consequences), promptly leave the area, and report the incident to the police. While the police may be unlikely to help you recover your belongings and arrest the assailant, police in Rosario are generally friendly and willing to help.

One should also be extra careful to not venture into or around the slums, or "villas" as the locals call them. These villas are no place for a tourist, as they can sometimes be the hotbed for crime and house Rosario's most impoverished residents. They are usually scattered throughout the outskirts of the city, though there are some not too far from the city center such as the one in between streets Vera Mujica and Av. Francia Bis. in the north of the city not far from the Alto Rosario shopping center.

In town

 * Roscommon town centre stands on the former highway north to Tulsk and Boyle, now bypassed to the east by N63. The best of it is "The Square" where the street divides around Harrison Hall to reunite in front of the facade of the Old Gaol.
 * The Old Gaol in The Square is now a modern shopping centre, and the facade is all that remains of the 18th century original. In the 1790s this had a female executioner, Elizabeth Sugrue or "Lady Betty". Her life and deeds are embellished by folklore, but Sir William Wilde (Oscar's father) collected the tale not long after her reign. She supposedly murdered a man not recognising him as her long-lost son, and was about to be hanged for this with 25 other offenders but the hangman was ill. She volunteered to replace him and her career was launched, as were the 25 other wretches. In 1822 the gaol became a lunatic asylum and in 1833 a Lazaretto, a quarantine confinement for those with dangerous diseases such as smallpox. Sometime after 1840 the building was converted to residential and commercial use.
 * Harrison Hall in the centre of The Square was the 18th century court house. It's variously been a market hall, RC church, dance hall, cinema and theatre and since 1972 a bank. In the 20th century it was named for Dr John Harrison, who tended to 1840s famine victims in the town workhouse. You can look at the interior during bank opening hours.
 * Roscommon County Library at the corner of Abbey St was built as an infirmary in 1783. This closed in 1941 and in 1989 it was re-fitted as the library, which is open Tu Th 13:00-20:00, W F Sa 10:00-13:00, 14:00-17:00.

Further out

 * is a granite boulder with curving incised decorations of La Tène style, so it dates to 200 BC, though the cobble mounting and cattle grid are modern. This Celtic style appeared circa 500 BC in La Tène near Neuchâtel in Switzerland and spread across Europe, so it's become a marker for the extent of Celtic culture. Park at the bend in the public road and walk up the Desmesne driveway. There are three similar La Tène stones across Ireland, more or less in a line, what's that all about? - since they have no obvious astronomical alignment.
 * or Rindoon is an abandoned medieval village on a headland in Lough Ree. The village and St John's Castle were built in 1227, and destroyed in raids in the 13th / 14th. There were attempts to rebuild in the 16th / 17th C - the windmill is from this period - but most of what you see is medieval. You're free to stroll the extensive site anytime.
 * Don't see Athassel Priory: this extensive ruin is in Golden, near Cashel in County Tipperary, but as of Dec 2020 Google Map imagines it to be near Roscommon Racecourse. Clearly nonsense, since the Augustinian doctrine of Athassel discouraged the monks from going to the races.

Highlights for travellers in Roseau include the Saturday morning market near where the Roseau River meets the Caribbean Sea. The market vendors start setting up very early (before dawn) to ensure they get good stall locations and snacks can be had by revellers returning late from Friday night festivities. The market is a great place to buy fresh fruit, seafood, and spices. There is less variety but still good prices for vegetables, meat and goods.

Eat
Dining in Roseau is centered around Creole fare with an emphasis on fresh local herbs and freshly caught seafood. Even the French, Italian and Chinese dining includes a little creole flavor to satisfy the local palette.

Fast food franchise restaurants KFC and Pizza Hut each have one branch in Roseau.

Drink
Roseau is littered with establishments colloquially called "Rum shops" that mostly sell beer, but also have rum and whisky. The local beer is Kubuli, but other Caribbean brands like Carib and Red Stripe are also very popular.

Many restaurants in the city boast well-stocked bars with liquor from around the globe and tropical cocktail menus.

Fresh juice is also popular and is usually dictated by whatever fruit is in season.

Rosh Haniqra

Understand
Rosh Haniqra is the northernmost point on the Mediterranean shore of Israel, the place where the chalk mountain ridge meets the sea essentially marking the (still hot!) border with Lebanon to the north. Despite its precarious location, visitors are safe (being mostly underground) and are rewarded by the sweet smelling limestone caverns and emerald-blue pools. The immediate coast is studded with inlets, lagoons and small beaches. On a clear day, the city of Haifa can be seen to the south.

The meaning of the words could be interpreted as "head of the cliff cave".

Get in
Buses 32 and 33 from Nahariyya go to the site, about 6 times a day. The trip is about 10 km each way, so it may be affordable by taxi if several people are travelling.

To get to Nahariyya, take the train/bus/sherut from Tel Aviv, Haifa or Akko.

Get around
Most of the area around the site and its beaches are in walking distance.

Roskilde

Roskilde is in West Zealand, Denmark, 35 km west of Copenhagen. Roskilde is an ancient city dating from the Viking age. The most important historical sights are the Viking Museum and Roskilde Cathedral, World Heritage site. Roskilde is also home to the giant rock music event, Roskilde Festival.

Orientation
Roskilde is south of Roskilde Inlet with the Viking Museum and some of the accommodation and restaurant options nearby. Central Roskilde is 1 km further south centered on the pedestrian street Algade/Skomagergade and Roskilde Cathedral. The city centre is quite small at around 1 km² bordered by a ring road. The train station is at the southern end of the city centre. Roskilde Festival is 4 km south from the train station along Køgevej.

History
Roskilde was established more than 1,000 years ago, at which time it had a wooden church and a royal farm. In the 12th century, Roskilde Cathedral was built and Roskilde became the seat of the bishop and was also granted the status of a market town. The town was one of the most important in Denmark for the next few centuries until the reformation ended the importance of the church.

By train
From Copenhagen Central Station (København H), it is about a 25-minute trip. Nearly all trains leaving Copenhagen besides those leaving for Elsinore or Sweden stops in Roskilde. Regional trains bound for Holbæk, Slagelse, Ringsted, Kalundborg or Nykøbing Falster are your best choices (they are marked with "Re" sign on platform screens). There is also a small branch line with Regional trains from Roskilde to Køge and onwards to Næstved.

By bus
Intercity buses to and from Jutland lines 882 to Fjerritslev and 888 to Aarhus/Aalborg, makes stop at the Q8 gas station at Darupvej 2, by the highway. It is quite far from the city centre, but there are several bus lines connecting from Roskilde Station, e.g. 600S.

Important regional buses includes 600S which runs an arch around Copenhagen proper from Hillerød in the north (Frederiksborg castle) to Hundige Station in the south. 233 runs between Roskilde and Lejre Forsøgscenter, 234 connects with Slagelse and finally 229E and 239 with Frederikssund.

Get around
You can easily walk from the train station to the main square with the cathedral and from there to the Viking Ship Museum.

There are a few local buses running from the train station.

Roskilde festival
The legendary Roskilde Festival is still going strong despite over 50 years of sex, drugs and rock'n'roll! started by a group of friends in 1971 inspired by the Woodstock festival, it has grown from a few thousand guests in its first year, to over 115,000 visitors from all over the world, and is routinely sold out with over half the tickets sold outside of Denmark.

The festival takes place in late June, early July on Roskilde Dyreskueplads south of the city. To Get in there are several options; daily during the festival trains depart from Roskilde Station to the festival's own station inside the camping area (West) every 30 minutes for 20 kr. There are also shuttle buses from Roskilde Station to the camping area (East) all day during the festival. When arriving at the festival you exchange your ticket for an armband/bracelet which gives you access to both the camping area, and the stage area.

Many people show up a week before the music starts to get their tents up so they can sleep close to the stage area, and limit walking as much as possible as the camping area is huge! A good tip is securing a place as far from trees and fences as possible, since they in essence become one big urinal during the festival. If rain is forecast, you should also attempt to camp as far from the marked walkways, preferably on a slope, since mud quickly becomes and issue.

On the camping grounds there are several service areas with food stalls and supermarkets to stock up with eat & drink, some also have first aid, toilets and showers. Inside the stage area there are also many, many restaurants and bars - most of them with a theme, and some of them are really huge and elaborate. There are also many shops where you can buy necessities and other rubbish.

Music is playing from Thursday - Sunday and are usually varied, with some international headline acts, and much experimental and indie music and the smaller stages.

Buy
From Roskilde festival the nearest supermarket is Fakta at Køgevej 108, about 1300 meters (a 15-20 minute walk) due north (past the highway) from the eastern entrance. The downtown area which has a pedestrianized area full of different shops is a further 1½ km away (or 30-40 minutes by foot).

Ross (Tasmania)

Ross is a small historic town in the centre of the Tasmanian Midlands, 120 km north of Hobart and 80 km south of Launceston. Ross was first settled in 1821 as a garrison town for soldiers, as a coaching stop on the Midlands Highway and as a market town. It's especially popular with Japanese travellers, as the bakery was the template for a Japanese comic series ("Kiki's bakery").

Understand
Founded in 1812, it is one of the oldest towns in Tasmania and still has many buildings from that period. Ross gained importance in the 19th century because of its location on Tasmania's most important road and because of its bridge over the Macquarie River (which has since been bypassed since the late 20th century). However, Ross remained a small town and has been able to preserve its historical setting.

Get in
The only means of getting into Ross is by car.

The historic town is 120 km north of Hobart, and 78 km south of Launceston. It's a short detour of the Midland Highway (Hwy 1) via Roseneath Rd (northbound) and Chiswick Road (southbound).

See
The town contains numerous historic Georgian buildings, made from local sandstone.
 * Church -- Made of sandstone and built by convicts.

Do
A pleasant barbeque and resting place can be found at the bridge. It is an excellent spot for lunch on a sunny day. Also plan a day touring the many convict sites or do a spot of shopping in the great selection of antique and giftshops which Ross has to offer.

Buy
Muffins or other sweets from the bakery.

Great selection of Antiques Giftware Souvenirs and Old English Lollies

Sleep
Next to the bakery there is a hotel. Kiki's room is available for rent. If you just want to take a picture, just ask politely at the reception.

Rosses Point

Rosses Point is a village in County Sligo with a population of 883 in 2016. It's a fishing village at the outflow of Sligo Bay, and "Ross" means the peninsula between that and Drumcliffe Bay further north. It's 8 km west of Sligo and in the 19th century became a holiday resort, similar to Strandhill facing it across the estuary.

Get in
See Sligo for long-distance routes by road or rail. By car follow N4 to Sligo then R291 northwest for 8 km along the coast.

Bus S2 follows the coast from Strandhill north of the estuary to Sligo bus and railway station, and continues west via city centre, the hospital, Institute of Technology and Ballincar (Radisson Hotel), taking 20 min from the bus station to Rosses Point. It runs hourly, daily; adult fare is about €3 cash, and cheaper by Leap Card.

A cycleway connects Sligo and Rosses Point.

Get around
Rosses Point is a small village and is easy to get around on foot or by bike.

See

 * Waiting on Shore is a mawkish statue near the lifeboat station. She could be waiting a while.
 * Elsinore House is a sorry ruin, with only the ivy holding together the masonry. The Yeats family spent summer holidays here and it features in the writings of William (WB Yeats) and the paintings of his brother Jack. William is buried 5 km east at Drumcliffe "under bare Ben Bulben's head": see Sligo for details but you can get there without backtracking into town, via the narrow lanes. Very narrow, just hope you don't meet another vehicle.
 * stretch along the west-facing Atlantic coast. They're not as afflicted by currents as the bay, but they're breezy and exposed to waves. First Beach is the 400 m stretch by the caravan site, with parking, toilets, ramp access, and lifeguards in summer. This strip ends at the headland of Bowmore Point, with its colourful cabin. North of there is slipway access to Second Beach, stretching 1 km to Wren Point, with the golf course behind. This is the main beach for kite-surfing. Third Beach is a lonely place north of Wren Point along the spit to the outflow of Drumcliffe Bay; at low tide you can walk to Lower Rosses lighthouse on its tressle tower. There are salt marshes behind the beach and Benbulbin louring across the estuary. Reach it either from Second Beach or by the lanes north side of the peninsula.
 * is the distinctly camp sailor atop the navigation tower on Perch Rock. Approaching by sea, you should line up his light with that of Oyster Island behind. Once close in, sail where he's pointing (mincing, more like) to be in the safe channel. Erected in 1821, he has an identical twin at Tramore in County Waterford.
 * is farmland, nowadays uninhabited and privately owned, with a lighthouse aligned with the Metal Man. In 1864 a fleet of "oyster pirates" attempted to raid the local oyster beds, and there was a grand set-to with the police, who were out in force to stop them. The pirates were defeated that day, but in the following years overfishing destroyed the Sligo oyster beds.
 * can be reached by boat from Rosses Point, but it's tidal so usually you walk or drive across the sands from Strandhill. A few people still live there, heavily outnumbered by rabbits.

Do

 * Second Beach is the place for kite-surfing and wind-surfing; also classic surfing though the waves are modest.
 * Sligo Yacht Club are based at the saltily-named Deadman's Point by First Beach.
 * The Wild Atlantic Way is the motoring route that hugs the coast. See County Sligo for more, but the way is self-evident.
 * The Shanty Festival is held in mid-June, in support of the local lifeboat. The 2020 event was cancelled and the next is probably 11-13 June 2021, tbc.

Ross Island (South Andaman)

Ross Island, now known officially as Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Island, was the capital of most of the Andaman Islands from 1858 until an earthquake in 1941. Ross Island was also the base for the British Administrator of the penal colony in Port Blair. In 1941, the Japanese converted the site into a prisoner-of-war camp and built war installations, remnants of which can still be seen. It now lies deserted, and the few signs of its colonial glory, such as the Chief Commissioner's house and the Presbyterian church, are dilapidated and overgrown. The area is now under the control of the Indian Navy.

History
The Presbyterian Church at Ross Island was a protestant church built of stone and the windows had frames made of Burma teak. The glass panes behind the altar were made of beautifully etched stained glass from Italy. The quality of the wood was so good that it survived the vagaries of weather for over 100 years. A small structure south of the church was built to accommodate the parsonage.

Climate
In March/April (the best time to go there) it's generally very hot and humid. But the scenic beauty and landscape will soothe it. Do wear sunscreen and sunglasses. Also, wear a cap. You can carry an umbrella while you walk.

Get in

 * Ferry takes 15 min from Rajiv Gandhi Water Sports Complex jetty. Boat fare is ₹90 for a to and fro journey. Go on your own. If you are taking a guide, take a package tour from Rajiv Gandhi jetty (₹360 per head, will cover Ross, Viper and North Bay Islands, 9AM to 5PM every day).

You can also pay the local fishermen to take you on day trips to mangrove creeks (Bridget Creek is nice) or places like Mt Harriet National Park (where you can beach your boat and go birdwatching). Don't pay more than ₹2000/day for the boat, and you can often bargain it down to much less. Check with the Forest Dept before heading out, as many destinations require certain permissions.

Please note that the permissions required to visit certain destinations near Ross Island and can be really strict. Avoid going with unauthorised personnel like fishermen for the trip as suggested above, as they usually don't know much about the rules and don't have proper licenses.

The area surrounding Ross Island and Port Blair is controlled by the Navy and strict actions are taken against unauthorized boat service providers without proper tourist boat licenses.

The prices also change several times a year by the Association of Tourist Boat Operators in Andaman, updated information of the pricing of boats to Ross Island can be found on the official website.

Get around
Walking is the only option. It's a small island.

See
Ross Island was the headquarters of the Indian Penal Settlement for nearly 80 years. It had everything — a bazaar, bakery, stores, workshop, water distillation plant, church, tennis court, printing press, secretariat, hospital, cemetery, open-air theatre and what have you. Today, everything has disappeared except some buildings, which housed some of these landmarks. Also, do walk to the other side of the island to Ferar beach and the old jetty. Farzand Ali Store here is famous. It is now maintained like a museum, has a lot of pictures of the British era and their activities in the Andaman Islands. You will be surprised to find out that the British had built up tram lines in Andaman too. There is a Ross Island Memorial documentary shown inside the bakery (times 9:30-9:45AM, 11:30-11:45AM ). A documentary on the Andaman Islands is shown from 3-4PM.

Also, see the Japanese bunkers. You will find a lot of tunnels here.

You will find a lot of deer and stags in the forest over here.

Eat and drink
Ross Island boasted a superb bakery which offered one of the best confectioneries, bread loves, buns, cakes, croissants and many other delicacies of those times. The bakery was a tastefully constructed building based on 19th-century British architecture with all the modern facilities of the times including a self-contained cookhouse.

There is an aqua guard on the jetty. Also, you will get a lot of coconut water (₹15-20).

Rossland

Rossland is a small mountain city in Southern British Columbia, Canada. Rossland was built in the 1890s as a gold mining town, and has become a lovely city of 3,700 people (2016). Rossland sits inside the crater of a dormant volcano in the Kootenay Range. It has become well-known for its excellent ski and mountain bike trails.

Understand
Rossland was named by a miner, Ross Thompson, who staked a claim in 1890. He had tried to call the city Thompson, but he was advised that there was already a town with that name.

By plane
Rossland does not have its own airport, however there are a few regional airports nearby that offer relatively easy access to Rossland either by road or by shuttle.
 * West Kootenay Regional Airport is owned and operated by the city of Castlegar. Castlegar Municipal Airport is 36 km from Rossland and offers regular service from Vancouver and Calgary.
 * Kelowna International Airport is the largest Canadian airport that has access to shuttle service to Rossland.
 * Spokane International Airport is the closest and only airport in the USA which has access to shuttle service to Rossland.
 * Trail Regional Airport is just south of Trail and is the closest airport to Rossland. Allowing easy access to local public transit Trail Regional Airport is one of the best options for travellers looking to reach Rossland on a budget.  The airport offers direct service from Vancouver.

Airport shuttle

 * Red Mountain Express Shuttle. In the winter, on behalf of Red Mountain Resorts, Adrenaline Adventures operates a shuttle from all four of the above airports, however they operate on a reservation-only basis.

Get around
Rossland is a small enough place that everything can easily be reached by foot, however be prepared to deal with some steep hills. Alternatively, traffic is light enough that driving throughout the town is quite painless. Keep an eye open, however, as the locals jaywalk quite frequently. Watch out for rogue mountain bikes as well.

See

 * There are a number of fine old historic buildings in Rossland including the Old Firehall, the old Bank of Montreal building, the Rossland Post Office, the Miners' Hall and the Court House. The Court House was designated a Canadian National Historic Site in 1980.  Have a look at these buildings during your walk around town.  A Walking Tour brochure is available from the visitor centre (at the Rossland Mining Museum & Discovery Centre).  Back in 1897, there were 4 banks, 42 saloons, a couple of newspapers and a population of 7000, during the height of the mining activity in the area.

Do

If it's not skiing season, then it's biking season in Rossland.

 * Hiking and mountain biking

Rosslare

Rosslare is in County Wexford in south-east Ireland, to the south of Wexford city. It's two distinct towns, 8 km apart by road. Rosslare Europort or Harbour developed from 1906 with the arrival of the railway, when it was obvious that Wexford harbour would become silted up. With a population in 2016 of 1200, it handles freight and ferries from Wales and from the continent - the continental freight is expected to increase from 2021 as Brexit has made the "land bridge" to Europe less convenient. Rosslare town to the north has a long sandy beach and was a holiday resort from the late 19th century: it became known as Rosslare Strand once the Harbour was established. Its population in 2016 was 1620.

By boat
Rosslare Europort has ferries from Fishguard and Pembroke in south Wales, from Cherbourg and Roscoff in France, and from Bilbao in Spain.
 * Stena Line sail twice a day from Fishguard, 3 hours 15 min.
 * Irish Ferries sail twice a day from Pembroke, 4 hours. The summer routes from France are suspended.
 * Brittanny Ferries sail April-Sept twice a week overnight from Cherbourg and Bilbao; their ferry from Roscoff sails to Cork. Timetables for 2021 are not yet posted.

By train
Five trains a day run from Dublin Connolly, taking 3 hours via Dún Laoghaire, Bray, Wicklow Town, Rathdrum, Arklow, Gorey, Enniscorthy and Wexford to Rosslare Strand (for the beach) and Rosslare Europort (for the ferry terminal). A walk-up single from Dublin is €17, see Irish Rail for timetables and ticket deals, and look especially for rail-ferry packages. This is the only railway route to Rosslare; the line to Waterford was axed in 2010.

By bus
The buses to Rosslare are mostly to meet the ferries, so in 2020 / 21 these are greatly curtailed, with no direct bus from Dublin.

Expressway Bus 40 / 440 treks the width of Ireland from Rosslare Europort to Wexford, Waterford, Dungarvan, Youghal, Cork, Macroom, Killarney and Tralee. It doesn't serve Rosslare Strand. The section between Europort and Wexford is suspended, but the section from Wexford to Waterford continues to run every two hours.

From Wexford to Rosslare Strand use Wexford Bus 878, which runs M-Sa thrice.

By car
From Dublin follow N11 south to Wexford, then N25.

Many visitors arriving by ferry bring their own car, but a rental agency wouldn't allow that. The only agency at Rosslare Europort is Budget, which you should book in advance as their fleet is small; also they'll stay open late for pre-booked rentals from late-arriving ferries. Rates are keen for car returns back to Rosslare, but a one-way rental (eg to Dublin) will almost double the price. If they can't accommodate you, take the train to Wexford, which has a Hertz outlet.

Get around
Public transport will get you between the port, Strand, and Wexford town. You need wheels to get further afield. The countryside is flat and suitable for cycling, though the breeze will get in your face.

See

 * The Marina for small craft is 1 km west of Europort. The latter is an ugly, industrial and restricted zone, no place for strolling or sight-seeing.
 * Rosslare Beach or Strand is a 3 km expanse of sand from around the railway station to "The Point". A spit used to stretch another 2 km, leaving just a narrow channel to Wexford harbour. It eroded in the 19th century, while the harbour behind it silted up, and it broke into sandbars after winter storms in 1924 / 25. With it disappeared Rosslare Fort - nowadays the scraps are only visible on an islet at the very lowest tides.
 * is the headland marking the boundary between the Irish Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. In the 1970s there were plans to build a series of nuclear power plants here: these were dropped after protests were got up, with rallies and concerts. (A counter-protest by the British & Irish Communist Organisation maintained that socialism could only be achieved in Ireland with nuclear energy.) There's now a windfarm. South Wexford Coastal Trail stretches 2 km along the beach to the sandbar at Lady's Island Lake.
 * is a brackish lagoon with no overt outflow, but fresh water seeps out and sea water seeps in through the sandbar. Atlantic storms and heavy rains can alter its salinity markedly, so wildlife must be able to cope. The lake is an important breeding ground for terns, both the Sandwich tern and the rare roseate tern. The "island" has long been a peninsula, with a castle, a tower leaning precariously, church ruins and a graveyard. The ruined church is a Marian shrine, with a pilgrimage in August. It's part of the Church of the Assumption on the mainland, built in the 19th C to a design by Pugin.
 * village 1 km west of the lake has a restored 19th century windmill, but the castle has been demolished. Another 2 km west, Tacumshane Lake is a wildlife reserve. In 1972 it became closed off by a sandbar like Lady's Island Lake, but a channel was cut to keep it tidal.
 * is a notorious hazard 11 km off Carnsore Point, close to the ferry routes from Wales. "Tuskar" is Old Norse for "big rock" but from shore you may struggle to see it - and almost 200 ships have been lost by failing to do so. But you'll spot the 37 m lighthouse, which has a beam range of 44 km. It was built 1812-15, with 10 workmen losing their lives when the construction site was overwhelmed by a storm. In 1821 the lighthouse keepers were found to be involved in smuggling. In wartime the rock was sometimes struck by drifting sea mines, which in 1941 killed one of the keepers. In 1968 an Aer Lingus flight from Cork to London crashed into the sea some 10 km northeast of the rock, with the loss of all 61 aboard: the likeliest cause was metal fatigue causing failure of the left tailplane, sending the Vickers Viscount into a spin. The lighthouse was automated in 1993.
