IRELAND

Mystical & enthralling, no place shines as bright as the Emerald Isle

Go green across scenery that shines

Ireland is larger-than-life: bright-green rolling hills, rugged, windswept beaches and a warm people bursting with local lore. Let Dublin dazzle you before heading out to Connemara, the Dingle Peninsula, the Ring of Kerry, the Cliffs of Moher, the Giant’s Causeway… the list goes on. Hike across the Irish countryside or trek through colourful cityscapes. Wherever you go in Ireland, you’re sure to be enamoured with the Emerald Isle.

PRO-TIP

Visit the famous Cliffs of Moher: they’re easily accessible by car or by hiking from Lisdoonvarna. The gorgeous stone houses and barns scattered along the trail, as well as the breathtaking view from Doolin, certainly make the walk worth it! Don’t forget good walking shoes and a windbreaker!
