Céad Míle Fáilt
Céad Míle Fáilte, meaning "100,000 welcomes," was the first phrase I heard upon landing in Dublin, Ireland. The Gaelic phrase felt like more than just a greeting; it became the theme for my family’s entire 10-day journey through Ireland. From numerous taxi drivers who greeted us with it as we slid in the back seat to the signs outside pubs and storefronts with those words, that phrase echoed everywhere we went. And, each time, it rang true in the most Irish of ways.

You’d be surprised just how many prehistoric sites you’ll find in Ireland, from stone circles to dolmens to standing stones to tombs. On our way back west from Dublin this summer, we drove through County Carlow, a county I’ve never been in before and one I know next to nothing about.

Best of Both Worlds
Enjoy the best of both worlds when you fly with TAP Air Portugal thanks to the Portugal Stopover program. With the program, TAP passengers, whether traveling for business, leisure or both, can stop in Portugal for up to 10 days at no additional airfare on the way to their final destination.

It means after flying to Portugal with TAP and experiencing the country in an entirely new way, travelers can then embark on scenic river and ocean cruises from Portugal’s port cities, or fly with TAP to another European destination.
