Ireland Luxury Vacations

Ireland Travel Guide

It’s the land of the leprechaun with the luck of the Irish. The thing with Ireland is that when you visit you feel like you are visiting a magical country and that there really is something unique behind those friendly smiles and dramatic landscape. However, it has nothing to do with luck, it’s just the genuine charm of Ireland. A luxury vacation in Ireland includes mysterious castles, misty countryside, sandy-haired locals striking up conversations in pubs, rich stews in a genuinely lovable country.

Starting with Ireland's lively capital crowded around the Liffey River, Dublin is a modernized, industrial city that is currently flourishing in a new economic boom. Dublin offers a mixture of traditional neighborhood pubs and stylish bars, family restaurants and chic dining, glamorous shopping on Grafton Street and Mom 'n Pop-owned boutiques on the winding sidestreets. Take a tour of historical Trinity College, visit Christ Church and St. Patrick's Cathedral, wander through Saint Stephens Green and learn about the tumultuous history of Dublin Castle. Revelers will enjoy a taste or two in Temple Bar and everyone loves the view from the Guiness Storehouse's panoramic Gravity Bar. The Old Jameson Distillery is another popular stop-by for whiskey tasting. It's also worth your while to travel out of Dublin and into the countryside that Ireland is famous for. Two popular sites include Blarney Castle and Malahide Castle, located in small villages outside Dublin.

Nature lovers will swoon over Doolin's Cliffs of Moher on the western coast. Located outside vibrant university city Galway, the Cliffs of Moher extend along Ireland's rugged coastline, plunging into the Atlantic and creating an awe-inspiring landscape. Also located in County Galway are the Aran Islands, Ireland's own archipelago overlooking Galway Bay with mysterious forts and beautiful beaches. Tourism hotspots Killarney, Cork and Waterford run along the country's southwestern coast and provide diverse options for the discerning traveler. Killarney National Park and the Lakes of Killarney will tantalize nature lovers with incredible views, lush vegetation and spectacular fishing spots.

Ireland's dramatic landscape is as calming as it is alarming. Misty moors, green rolling hillsides, small villages tucked into valleys, old Cathedral steeples piercing the skyline. On your luxury vacation in Ireland, you will quickly realize that many of the stereotypes are true. Passerbys will stop to help you with directions. Some even offer to drive you to your destination. The cheery faces and open arms are evidence of the fact that the Irish love their country and are eager to make sure you enjoy your stay in Ireland.
