Ireland, or more poignantly, “The Emerald Isle”, welcomes you with fantastic landscapes of rolling hills, illuminated green scenery and surrounding mountains. It is an island country with a huge and in-depth political history, which pulsates through the identity of the Irish.
The capital city, Dublin, is located at the mouth of the River Liffey and boasts sensational historic architecture. Popular attractions include the Dublin Castle which dates back to the 13th century and St. Patrick’s Cathedral, founded in 1191. This vastly beautiful and charismatic city is the birthplace of authors such as James Joyce, Samuel Beckett and Oscar Wilde.
Belfast is the birthplace of the world renowned passenger liner that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean, the RMS Titanic. The city has become a cosmopolitan metropolis with an infectious vibrancy for life. Pay a visit to incredible places such as the Ulster Folk Museum, Crumlin Road Gaol and award-winning clubs and restaurants. South of Belfast is the medium-sized town called Downpatrick. This ancient town is said to be the birthplace of Saint Patrick, after which the Irish, and as of late, the rest of the world celebrate St. Patrick’s Day!
