Ireland
Highlights & Suggested Itineraries
It's said that Ireland, once visited, is never forgotten, and for once the blarney rings true. The Irish landscape has a mythic resonance, the country's history is almost tangible, and its people seem put on earth expressly to restore faith in humanity.
The weather may sometimes give you the impression that you're swimming through an airborne ocean, but the truly luminous greens and afternoons spent holed up in riotous pubs will more than console you for the webbed feet you'll need to grow.

Ireland Tours & Activities
Wicklow & Glendalough
Glendalough is one of Ireland's most evocative ancient ruins, set in the spectacular mountains and boglands of County Wicklow. This is a great day out.
Ireland on a musical note
Rock band U2 may be Ireland's biggest musical export, but when people talk about Irish music they are generally referring to an older, more intimate style of traditional or folk music.
For the visitor, the joy of Irish music lies in its sheer accessibility. The biggest names may play the same major venues as the rock stars, but almost every town and village seems to have a pub renowned for its music where you can show up and find a session in progress, or even join in if you feel so inclined.
