Dublin
With hills and plains, picturesque fishing villages, castles and medieval monasteries, urban landscapes of modern cities with lots of pubs and clubs, Ireland is among the countries preferred by tourists. Traditional and scenic, Ireland is also known as Emerald Isle due to the beautiful green fields that cover the countryside.
Dublin, the capital and most populous city of Ireland, can keep the tourist busy for a whole week! Avoid the city center on Saturdays when half the population of Ireland seems to go shopping here! Best explored on board of one of the numerous bus tours or on foot, Dublin is relatively small but has more green spaces per square kilometre than any other European capital city. Dublin is a very popular city to visit, but to make the most of the unique landscapes Ireland has to offer, you’ll have to explore a little further afield.
The Dingle Peninsula
The Dingle Peninsula is located in southwest Co. Kerry, features steep, seaside cliffs, sandy beaches and rolling mountains. National Geographic once described the Dingle Peninsula as “the most beautiful place on earth,” and Trip Advisor recently ranked the locale as the second best destination in Ireland, after Dublin.
In this top, the third is Killarney, a town in County Kerry, southwestern Ireland. The town is on the northeastern shore of Lough Leane, which is part of Killarney National Park. It's a walking town, and every trail is a history lesson. You can expect to cross many bridges when in Cork. The city is built on the River Lee which divides into two channels at the western end of the city. Cork was the European Capital of Culture for 2005.
Dunguaire Castle - Galway
Galway is a medieval town on the west coast of Ireland which sits on the River Corrib between Lough Corrib and Galway Bay. It’s easily one of the most beautiful places to visit in Ireland. It is the fourth most populous city in the state and the sixth most populous on the island of Ireland. Also, if you arrive in Ireland, you should not miss the Burren, the Giant’s Causeway in Co. Antrim, the Sperrin Mountains, the Sperrin Mountains and Binevenagh, located in Co. Derry.
