Among all the European tourist Ireland is considered one of the best vacation destinations for a rather long time already, as it has lots of interesting and adventurous excursion offers, delicious beer, distinctive nature and great significant history. First of all, Ireland is associated with the gorgeous landscapes, theatrical shows in Dublin, rock-parties in Limerick and, of course, absolutely hospitable locals. Besides experienced tourists, Ireland is also quite popular among the foreign students that come here annually to improve their English skills.

The most popular way to travel around the country is by bus, which represents a bright green double-decker (so, it’s quite easy to notice it, if you’re looking for any). The other popular way to travel is either by train, or by ferry, as there are a lot of tiny islands spread all around the western coast.

Shamrock is the main “source of inspiration” for all the local souvenir-makers. You may see it everywhere, from the simple refrigerator magnets to the real paintings and design objects (so, as far as you understand, that’s the most popular thing to bring home from Ireland). Other popular souvenirs are various national musical instruments, especially bagpipes, local alcoholic drinks, including beer and whiskey and so on.

There is an incredible number of abandoned ancient castles, monasteries and mansions in Ireland, as many as the number of legends about trolls, magicians and lepricons dwelling in them.
