The Republic of Ireland is nicknamed the Emerald Isle and takes up the majority of the island of Ireland situated just to the west of mainland Britain. Known for its green and lush countryside, its friendly people, and its vibrant and culturally rich cities, Ireland is one of Europe’s top tourist destinations.
Flights to Ireland
Ireland is served by 4 international airports in: Dublin (airport code: DUB), Shannon (airport code: SNN), Cork (airport code: ORK), and Ireland West (airport code: NOC). A number of airlines provide direct and indirect flights to Ireland from the UK to these airports, including direct flights with the national airline, Aer Lingus, and discount airline Ryanair. These two airlines have the majority of the market for flights to Ireland from the UK, but if you prefer to use a different airline you could travel via another destination first with airlines such as KLM, Flybe, Aer Arann, BMI, Air France, and Lufthansa. The actual routes for these flights to Ireland will depend on your departure point in the UK.Ireland Tourist Attractions
Ireland is a beautiful country with many different things to see and do. It’s actually the perfect destination for a touring holiday because the country is not too large and much of it could be covered if you rent a car for a couple of weeks and tour around. The country is divided into six regions, all offering something different. Here are just some of the highlights:East Coast and Midlands
Many visitors to Ireland will start their visit in this region as it’s home to the country’s capital and largest city, Dublin. Dublin is famous for its vibrant atmosphere and is a city of many pubs, but it also has a great deal of culture too. Museums like the National Museum of Ireland, the National Gallery of Ireland, and the Irish Museum of Modern Art are just a few of the cultural offerings in this historic city.
Southeast Ireland
Just south of the East Coast and Midlands region is Southeast Ireland. There are some lovely towns and cities here too including Waterford, famous for its wonderful crystal, and the medieval city of Kilkenny. This part of Ireland has the best weather in the country and during the summer you can enjoy some great beaches along its coast.
Southwest Ireland
The Southwest Ireland region is full of beauty, both inland and on its coast. The attractive and popular city of Cork is situated here, plus if you’re touring around make sure you do the Ring of Kerry route as you’ll see some beautiful scenery and historic attractions along the way.
Shannon Region
Ireland’s Shannon Region lies to the north of Southwest Ireland and features a coast on the Atlantic Ocean. This region is home to many famous little towns and villages, such as Adare, reputed to be the prettiest village in Ireland; the unspoilt city of Limerick with its castle, plus there are many more castles to see in the Shannon Region, as well as the spectacular Cliffs of Moher.
West Ireland
West Ireland may be the least populated region of the country but it’s home to the beautiful city of Galway, considered Cultural Capital of Ireland. Galway is also the gateway to some spectacular scenery and has a vibrant pub scene!
Northwest Ireland and Lakelands
The final region is Northwest Ireland and Lakelands. This isn’t visited as much as some of Ireland’s other regions but it still has plenty of beautiful scenery to enjoy and towns like Donegal to visit.
