Amazing Trips to Ireland
The Irish will tell you that once you’ve lived in Ireland, it’s hard to live anywhere else. They nod and say hi when they pass you in the street. And if you accidentally bump into them, they apologize. That spirit is pervasive across this island country.
The Irish are well known for being funny, gracious, and easy to talk to, especially in a pub. If you’re lost, they’re happy to show you how to get where you’re going. And if you’re lucky, they’ll entertain you with a good story. As a tourist, you will be warmly welcomed and feel like you’ve been hugged.
It’s no wonder that the Irish people are the country’s number-one attraction. More than 10-million people visited Ireland last year with record numbers coming from North America, mainland Europe, Australia, and developing markets.
