From short weekend trips to longer holidays and vacations, Ireland has everything you will want to experience. From great walks, cycles and scenic drives to stunning beaches, green rolling hills, mountains and rugged windswept coastlines along the Wild Atlantic Way, Ireland has amazingly varied landscapes, terrains and weather. It is also extremely rich in ancient history, heritage, culture, castles, forts, tombs, mythology, folklore, literary history, traditional language, music, sports and great stories that will stay with you forever. Therefore, when you decide to visit, be sure to know that there is so much more to Ireland than visiting the leprechaun and Guinness filled souvenir shops on a bus tour and the stereotypical Emerald Isle, Drinking, Gift of the Gab, Red Hair and St. Patrick’s Day.
Although Ireland’s small size may suggest you could drive or tour the entire country in one week, this would be far from enjoyable.
Ireland is one of the best vacation and holiday destinations for self drive holidays in the world and is best experienced by spending time getting to know the real Ireland and the local who live here. It is possible to drive or take a tour bus from north to south and from east to west on excellent highways and motorways but to best experience the breath-taking diversity of coastal and inland scenery you need to leave the motorway and meet the locals!!
