Ireland Travel - Vacation Packages/Extended Tours from Dublin
With a warm welcome and good craic guaranteed, a stay in
Ireland lets you discover an island of contrasts.
From the bright lights of Dublin, Cork, Galway and Limerick in the Republic
of Ireland and Belfast and Londonderry in Northern Ireland, to the
breathtaking countryside in between - Ireland can deliver a host of
activities along the way!
So go on, catch a flight or ferry to Ireland and experience the magic for
yourself.
It's said that Ireland, once visited, is never forgotten,
and for once the blarney rings true. The Irish landscape has a mythic
resonance, the country's history is almost tangible, and its people seem put
on earth expressly to restore faith in humanity.
The weather may sometimes give you the impression that you're swimming
through an airborne ocean, but the truly luminous greens, luxuriant
wildflowers, and afternoons spent holed up in riotous pubs will more than
console you for the webbed feet you'll need to grow.
Ireland has recently been on an economic rollercoaster ride; if the
Celtic Tiger's fur is looking a little shabby these days, the legacy of
those heady days lingers in its cities' newfound gloss. The country may not
be quite the paradise that its misty-eyed emigrés tend to portray, but it's
nonetheless home to one of the most gregarious and welcoming people in
Europe.
