What's it like to travel to Ireland? You could try to envision it - you can dream about it, you can look at photos, you can read every travel book - but in the end, it's impossible to know unless you go. See it for yourself and discover what you knew was always there, and find a few surprises too.
Destination Must-Sees
Cliffs of Moher:
Stand in absolute awe of these series of cliffs overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. On a clear day you can see the Aran Islands and Galway Bay as well as other iconic sites. Go to O’Brien’s Tower which stands near the highest point of the cliffs and has been a favourite viewing spot for hundreds of years.
Killarney National Park:
Rugged mountains, serene lakes and lush forests come together to create an otherworldly landscape that harkens back to ancient myths.
Dublin, the “Fair City”:
This modern yet traditional capital city of Ireland is filled to the brim with charm! Fall in love whilst strolling through the city’s rows of magnificent Georgian townhouses. See St. Patrick’s Cathedral which dates back to the 13th century.
Titanic Belfast:
Located in the heart of Belfast, Northern Ireland, this exceptional museum has just been awarded the ‘world’s leading tourist attraction’ – a highly impressive accolade. Of course Belfast shipyard was where the ill-feted liner was constructed and the museum provides exceptional insight into the engineering, voyage, personal stories and quest to find her thirty years ago.
