Ireland

Ireland is a country of unsurpassed beauty where breathtaking and rugged coastlines merge into beautiful landscapes in 40 shades of green. This is a country of picture-postcard fishing villages, vibrant cities like Dublin and historical buildings that have inspired great poetry, literature and music.

There is a mystical side to the country too. Among the most revered figures in Ireland are leprechauns; mischievous elves dressed in emerald green who, when not playing tricks, spend their day busily making shoes. Leprechauns are said to have a pot of gold hidden at the end of the rainbow.

With ancient myths and legends to uncover, incredible landscapes to explore and friendly locals who are more than happy to reveal Ireland’s million hidden gems, it is best to go where the passion takes you. You will return home with memories of the Emerald Isle that will last forever.
