Specialty Travel Guide Ireland
Ireland, appropriately nicknamed the Emerald Isle, is an island full of magnificent scenery, and rich history. The friendliness of the Irish people will make you feel right at home for the duration of your stay. Ireland provides a serene atmosphere with a pleasant climate, if you don't mind moderate amounts of rain.
One attraction in Ireland is the Guiness factory. While a beer factory might not be everyone's idea of fun, it is still worth a visit while in Dublin. At the factory, you can get an in depth look at the making of beer. You won't want to miss the beer tasting either. For the tasting, you are taken up to the Gravity Bar, which provides a spectacular 360 degree view of the city.
Probably the most famous site in Ireland is the Blarney Castle. It provides for a nice day trip out of Dublin, if that's where you are staying. As anyone who has been will tell you, if you visit Blarney Castle, you have to see the Blarney Stone. The stone is said to give the gift of eloquence to anyone who kisses. The only thing is that you have to kiss it upside down. Nearby Blarney Village is a quaint town, where you can spend some time buying traditional Irish souvenirs. At the castle, you can also see the ruins of the Rock of Cashel, which was once a stronghold for many Irish kings.
The Cliffs of Moher provide wonderful views of the Atlantic for visitors. If you walk right up to the edge and look down, you will see the incredible view of the rocky shores below. The views here provide a serene ambiance that will have you desperately awaiting your return.
Another popular attraction is the Ring of Kerry. Many people recommend going around the ring counter-clockwise because the angle of the sun is best on the scenery going in that direction. Many restaurants line the roads that wander along the ring, so there is no problem trying to find something. If you plan on traveling the entire ring, you will probably be there the majority of the day. Be sure to take plenty of film for the breathtaking views along the trip.
