Ireland

The country of Ireland is a very popular tourist destination and is visited by people from all over the world.  Ireland is known for its green and pleasant pastures and its love of a good party.  The Irish are known for their love of Guinness and a good Irish pub rarely disappoints.  There are places to visit all over this country, and there is something to please everyone, whether young or old, single or married or with family Ireland really does have it all.  Flights to Ireland from England are pretty cheap, although can get booked up around busy holiday periods, so it is worth booking in advance.  It may surprise some people to learn that on such a small piece of land Ireland actually has four international airports, these are Cork, Dublin, Shannon and Belfast, on top of this there are six regional ones, to there is no shortage of flights and destinations to choose from.

A good place to start a visit is in the capitol which is Dublin.  There are great cafés, bars and restaurants in this area, as well as plenty of shops of boutiques.  There are lots of pubs about, but one traditional pub, which has made a name for itself here in England too is O’Neills, this pub is located in Dublin, literally 5 minutes walk from Dublin’s shops, art galleries and nightlife and is located in the very heart of Dublin city.  It offers a traditional scene and also offers accommodation, this pub certainly has an air of Irish tradition.  There are many hotels in Dublin and around Ireland and a good way to find the best on offer is to browse the net.  There are many restaurants in and around Ireland, some which offer a traditional menu of food such as Irish Stew and such like, others offer food and cooking which is done on gas barbecue (Gasgrill) or Weber Gasgrill.  This is usually done throughout the summer months and can be found at many pubs, particularly ones which are family orientated.

Ireland certainly does live up to the name of being green, and it is well worth a visit, whatever time of year.
