Experience Ireland: sights, tours and activities

Ireland's landscapes are very impressive. The beautiful coast will take your breath away! The best way to visit this country is with a rental car, so you can explore at your own pace! The ring of Kerry is particularly breath taking. Irish cities have a lot to offer. Dublin is the top choice for St. Patrick's Day in March but the whole country joins in the celebration, everyone with pints of Guinness in hand.

Essentials in Ireland

Dublin: Start your trip in Ireland off in Dublin, the country’s capital. This is a city of literature and you'll find so many historical references from favourites by Oscar Wilde, James Joyce and others. The Guinness Brewery is a must, as is Dublin Castle and a tour of Trinity College.

Cork: Located in the south, Cork is the second largest city in Ireland and its sights are well worth seeing. Blarney Castle, St. Mary's Cathedral and the Red Abbey should be at the top of your sightseeing list when visiting Cork.

Kilkenny: Kilkenny is located in the heart of Ireland, surrounded by lush greenery. This medieval town is so typically Irish; you'll fall in love with its charm. It makes a great day trip from Dublin.
