IRELAND’S DRAMATIC COASTLINES, countryside charm and vibrant cities make it the ideal destination to mix business and pleasure.
In addition to a high standard of facilities for meetings, conferences and corporate events, the country offers an exciting array of activities to discover outside the boardroom. With such a diverse range of scenery and countless exploration opportunities, Ireland beckons business travelers to extend their trip to enjoy the buzz of its lively cities and pack in plenty of unique experiences.
FROM THE TINIEST micro-museums to priceless treasures in thriving national institutions, museums in Ireland offer visitors the chance to scratch every historical itch. In Dublin, come face to face with a 2,300-year-old bog body and admire the bejeweled Ardagh Chalice in the city’s National Museum of Archeology and explore the country’s rich literary legacy at the Dublin Writers Museum. In Belfast, visit the birthplace of the Titanic and discover its story at Titanic Belfast Visitor Experience. At the Ulster American Folk Park in County Tyrone, learn about three centuries of Irish emigration, while at the Irish National Famine Museum in County Roscommon, visitors can learn about the events of the Great Famine of the 1840s.
FROM DUBLIN, head inland to find rolling green pastures sprinkled with forts, megalithic tombs, stone villages and castles that tell of the country’s rich cultural heritage. South of the city lies County Wicklow, known as the garden of Ireland, with wild mountains and majestic valleys that make for a walkers’ paradise. From Belfast, switch between hugging the coast and dipping inland on the Causeway Coastal Route to admire the region’s beauty and attractions like the legendary UNESCO World Heritage site of the Giant’s Causeway.
IRELAND DELIGHTS THE senses with local, artisanal foods at its farmers markets, gastro-pubs and Michelin-starred restaurants that make the country a foodie’s dream destination. Enjoy a cheeky haggle over fresh produce while sampling local fare from the several stalls at Cork’s renowned English Market and experience the gourmet treasure trove that is Belfast’s award-winning St George’s Market. Visitors will find no shortage of modern, fine-dining experiences, with nine Michelin-starred restaurants across the country.
TAKE YOUR GAME to the next level and play any of Ireland’s prestigious courses where champions honed their impeccable skills, from Old Head Golf Links in Kinsale, County Cork, and County Kerry’s storied Ballybunion on the Wild Atlantic Way to Northern Ireland’s Royal County Down, home to the 2015 Irish Open taking place May 28–31. When the round is over, continue the fun at the 19th hole, where you can share your story of golfing success with the locals.
