Top Reasons to Go to Ireland

Untamed Nature: From rugged marshlands to glacial lakes, wild Ireland blows the mind.

Living History: Neolithic Knowth, Celtic Cashel, Christian Glendalough, and more.

Perfect Pubs: A fire, chowder, a pint of stout; the Irish pub is a slow, sacred space.

Festivals: Oysters in Galway, jazz in Cork, St. Paddy in Dublin; celebrate year-round.

Cracking Culture: Every second native's a poet or a fiddle player—it's in the air.

Hidden Treasures: Empty islands, silent forests, untouched beaches: serenity abounds.
