Ireland: The Emerald Isle with a Thousand Charms
A millennia-old history:
It should be known that Ireland has been inhabited since around 6000 BC. The stone age sites, scattered throughout the island, are the most significant in the world. The history of Ireland is fascinating, rich, and ever-present. Wherever you are, you find traces of this rich past: prehistoric sites, Celtic ruins, medieval abbeys, strong castles, etc. There are so many that one trip is not enough to fully explore the country's history. If history fascinates you, the remains will surprise you with their quantity but especially with their preservation. Still intact, the monuments revive Ireland's millennia-old history.
Discover a land of legends and untamed nature
When one thinks of Ireland, one imagines green and wild landscapes swept by wind and rain, spectacular cliffs, the sea stretching as far as the eye can see, lakes, mountains, in short, nature in its purest form. All this is true: the magnificent Irish landscapes do not disappoint and provide an ideal setting for beautiful hikes on foot or by bike. Ireland has many national parks and, for a small country, the diversity of its landscapes is quite astonishing. You will fill your lungs with fresh air!
A Warm People
At the risk of repeating what may seem like a cliché, but is nonetheless true, the hospitality of the local population really makes a difference and will ensure you have a most pleasant stay. You will always find someone willing to offer help, give advice on your itinerary, or simply start a conversation. The Irish love their country and want visitors to love it too. And they succeed in doing so. Their warm welcome and desire to share the beauty of their island make every visit unforgettable. You will leave with memories full of kindness and friendliness.
The Unique Atmosphere of Irish Pubs
Leaning on the bar, ordering a Guinness in an intimate atmosphere, with a traditional band playing in the room... Irish pubs have that little something extra: that difference in relationships between customers, that background music that covers the sound of mugs clinking as soon as one of them is filled, all in a particularly warm atmosphere. The pub here is more than just a bar; it's a pillar of social life.
Family Trip: Discover an Ideal Destination
If Ireland is a destination that will appeal to all travelers, it is particularly suitable for families. The Irish place great importance on family ties, and not long ago, it was common to see couples with more than 10 children. It is not surprising then that children are not forgotten in this country. You will find numerous visits tailored for them, playgrounds, discounts on attractions, and children's bike rentals.
Vibrant Traditions in Ireland
Among Irish traditions, the celebration of Saint Patrick's Day and Halloween are known to extend beyond borders. Irish music and dance are also famous: singing and dancing are practiced in all regions. In this land of myths and legends, tradition is still orally transmitted today. Populated by leprechauns, fairies, witches, ghosts, giants, and other legendary characters, the stories are heroic and captivating. In many places, particularly on the small islands, you will be immersed in a world where time seems to have stopped. A world where ancestral customs and the Irish language are still very much alive. Tradition also endures in and through the Irish language that everyone learns at school. The word Gaeltacht thus refers to regions where Gaelic is the first language spoken in homes. Ireland is a land of vibrant customs and traditions.
Superb Northern Ireland
One cannot overlook the growing tourist attraction of Northern Ireland. After a violent political history, this nation of the United Kingdom has recently moved towards peace agreements and coexistence. Some cities, like Derry or Belfast, are experiencing a true renaissance. The Antrim coast, north of Belfast, is one of the most beautiful routes in Ireland. Giant's Causeway is a geological wonder, and Armagh, the spiritual capital of Ireland for 1,500 years, is worth a visit.
