General information
It’s amazing how much can be packed into one small island. Start with the urban cool of its two capital cities. Dublin is noted as a UNESCO City of Literature, while Belfast is home to the captivating history of the infamous Titanic. In between, gaze over landscapes that range from the wild and wonderful to the unusual and unique. Choose between conflicting tales of legend or geology at the Giant’s Causeway. Fill your lungs with fresh air at the Cliffs of Moher along the Wild Atlantic Way – the longest defined coastal touring route in the world. Step back in time at Newgrange, a burial mound that’s older than the Egyptian pyramids. Catch thrilling festivals with energizing traditional Irish music, and then slow down with a quiet walk on golden shores that stretch for miles. Food for the soul is served in innovative fine-dining restaurants, quirky artisan cafés, and gently aged pubs.
Discover the island of Ireland and discover something timeless.
