You could search the world and still fail to find any country as charming as the Emerald Isle. From rolling green hills to dramatic wilderness, dynamic cities to sleepy, small-town streets strung with bunting – Ireland is as picturesque as it gets. But while it boasts some of the world’s great natural sites, including the famed Cliffs of Moher and Ring of Kerry, Ireland is best known for its friendly people.

Much like a pint of Guinness, Ireland is bold and complex. Many travel to the Republic for its postcard scenery but are captivated by the lively spirit that pulses through the streets and rollicking pubs. Spend a night at Temple Bar, the cultural quarter, with the locals and belt out Irish classics at quaint pubs, or escape to the countryside for some R&R. Wherever your Irish journey takes you, the craic will be grand.
