Ireland Travel Guides

Attractions:

Ireland is truly one of the great sightseeing destinations. The local people are wholehearted in their welcome, there is an abundance of charming natural landscapes and historical sights, and the Guinness really tastes better here at the source. The country also has a wider significance for many American visitors whose ancestors came from these shores in great numbers.

Although there are must-see attractions like Blarney Castle, Trinity College and the soaring cliffs of Moher, the real magic of Ireland lies in the unexpected encounters with the local people and unplanned evenings in country pubs where impromptu gigs can set your soul alight.

Winter is not the best time to visit as it is cold and rainy so plan your trip for the summer months between April and September when Ireland is at its best. The ideal way to get around is by rented car (although petrol prices are among the highest in the world), and by bicycle which you can use to explore the photogenic country lanes.
