Ireland
Welcome to Ireland: the land, the myth, the legend. This small yet mighty country is renowned just as much for its jaw-dropping natural beauty as it is the genuine warmth and hospitality of its people. Strike up a conversation with a friendly local over a pint of Guinness (the unofficial national pastime) and join in on the lively atmosphere as musicians play traditional Irish music like jigs and ballads in an intimate pub setting.
Ireland truly lives up to its nickname, the Emerald Isle. The abundance of rainfall and mild climates have resulted in a breathtaking landscape of lush green fields, rolling hills, and dramatic coastal cliffs. Drive along the country's scenic routes and visit the picturesque villages, ancient castles, and historic landmarks. Don't miss sites such as the Giant's Causeway, which is said to be built by a mythical giant, or the Hill of Tara, believed to be the sacred site where kings were crowned.
