1. The craic (fun) is back!

There is a buzz in Ireland’s towns and cities again, laughter in the streets and music in the air. And what perfect timing as spring begins to appear. Get ready to experience Ireland’s world-famous hospitality, the welcome is warmer than ever.

2. Take to the open road

Wind along the 1,500-mile Wild Atlantic Way and explore the wonders of Ireland’s western coastline, from Kinsale’s world-class restaurants to the spectacular Ring of Kerry and the enchanting expanse of Connemara. Or head up north, cruise the 120-mile Causeway Coastal Route and take in the magnificent views at Dunluce Castle or brave the Carrick-a-rede Rope bridge.

3. Get out into nature In Ireland

Mother Nature truly owns the catwalk in Ireland. Savor the stunning landscape with a hike up Croagh Patrick, or a round at Royal Portrush Golf Club; take a dip in the Irish Sea at Dublin’s Forty Foot, or cycle the Waterford Greenway. You won’t find fresher air anywhere else!

4. Tickle your tastebuds

Ireland’s green pastures, deep valleys and pure waters helped create outstanding natural flavors. Get a real taste of the island with a food tour around Cork city. Chat to the talented artisan producers who line the colorful stalls around the many farmers’ markets. Or go fishing off the Causeway Coast and catch your own breakfast. You really can’t get any fresher than that!

5. Enjoy our star attractions

The Cliffs of Moher and the Mourne Mountains. Killarney National Park and the Rock of Cashel. Kylemore Abbey and the Dark Hedges. It’s easy to understand why so many people have fallen in love with Ireland’s irresistible beauty. A visit to some of these iconic spots might be just what you need to recharge your spirit.
