Experiences
Dublin is known for its Georgian squares, canals, museums, great hotels and dining, entertainment scene and above all its friendly and easy going atmosphere. Be here for the St. Patricks Day Festival in March and prepare to be swept away on a good-natured wave of green-clad humanity. West coast Galway has a reputation for lively, music filled establishments as well as the world renowned Galway Bay oysters. It is the gateway to the Connemara peninsula, a brooding loneliness of hills and lakes that tumble down to tiny coves and windswept beaches. Northern Ireland’s bustling capital is now home to Titanic Belfast, an award-winning interactive museum that’s a homage to the lost Ship of Dreams which was famously built here. For fans of Game of Thrones®, Northern Ireland is home to more Seven Kingdoms locations than anywhere else in the world. Will you recognise Castle Ward as the fictitious Winterfell? Or will a walk through Tollymore Forest Park recall the spooky Haunted Forest of Westeros?
Areas of Ireland
Dublin: Set on the sweep of Dublin Bay and the conical Wicklow Mountains as a backdrop, Dublin is a compact city, with most of its attractions within walking distance of each other. Like most modern cities, Dublin can be divided up into various sectors or quarters, from medieval, antique, creative, cultural and more.
