Famous for
People travel to Ireland for all sorts of reasons. Here are three of the most popular!
Embracing nature
Wild Ireland is a magical place to explore. The coastal routes known as the Wild Atlantic Way in Ireland and the Causeway Coastal Route in Northern Ireland are home to spectacular scenery. Connemara National Park is great for hiking, and Carrauntoohil is the island’s highest peak.
A troubled history
Ireland has been partitioned since 1921, and the Troubles dominated the region from 1968. Thankfully, the region is peaceful now and the fascinating histories of cities such as Derry can be discovered by visitors. Not to mention historic fortresses like Blarney Castle and the unique beehive houses of County Kerry.
Cosy pubs
No trip to Ireland is complete without embracing the region’s pub culture. From that iconic black stout, Guinness, to a home-cooked shepherds pie or an Ulster fry breakfast, food and drink is sure to be an important part of your Irish experience. Pubs all offer non-alcoholic drinks too, so even if tee-total you can enjoy a fun night out!
