Ireland Travel Guide

Come to Ireland for the beautiful villages and stately homes, Irish cuisine and pub culture, great golf and literary history, plus the land for which the famed Emerald Isle was named: A lovely patchwork of rolling green fields speckled with farmhouses, cows, and sheep. Shimmering lakes, meandering rivers, narrow roads, and stone walls add to the impression that rolled out before you is a luxurious welcome carpet, one knit of the legendary "forty shades of green."
