{"id":426758965,"count":3,"description":"<p data-start=\"270\" data-end=\"949\"><img class=\"size-large wp-image-44935 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/destinations-europe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Irlande-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p data-start=\"270\" data-end=\"949\">A land of myth and raw beauty, Ireland captivates with its oceanic temperament, shifting light and warm hospitality. From Dublin \u2014 a literary, buzzing capital \u2014 to the colourful villages of the west, you\u2019ll move between lively pubs and wind-battered cliffs, historic libraries and panoramic coastal roads. Unmissables include the Wild Atlantic Way\u2019s endless viewpoints, the Cliffs of Moher, lake-strewn Connemara, the lunar Burren, the Giant\u2019s Causeway (in Northern Ireland), the Kerry and Dingle peninsulas, Kinsale in the south, plus the Aran and Achill islands. Hikers, photographers, surfers and wanderers all find their sweet spot here \u2014 from postcard scenes to hidden gems.<\/p>\r\n<p data-start=\"951\" data-end=\"1614\">Beyond the landscapes lies a way of life: traditional music sessions (fiddle, bodhr\u00e1n), festivals, peat fires, farmers\u2019 markets and local produce (salmon, oysters, artisan cheeses). Irish dining has become more creative \u2014 terroir bistros, specialty coffee shops, microbreweries \u2014 while whiskey and gin distilleries are easy to visit. Distances are manageable; self-drive combines well with public transport (Dublin\u2013Galway\/Cork\/Belfast rail), and trips flow between heritage-rich towns (Kilkenny, Galway, Cork, Limerick) and wide-open spaces. Whatever the season, weather changes fast: layer up, carry a waterproof, and enjoy those sudden sunbursts after a shower.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3 data-start=\"1616\" data-end=\"1659\">\ud83d\uddfa\ufe0f Practical information about Ireland<\/h3>\r\n<p data-start=\"1661\" data-end=\"2383\">\ud83d\udccd <strong data-start=\"1664\" data-end=\"1675\">Capital<\/strong>: Dublin<br data-start=\"1683\" data-end=\"1686\" \/>\ud83d\udc65 <strong data-start=\"1689\" data-end=\"1703\">Population<\/strong>: Around 5.3 million (Republic of Ireland)<br data-start=\"1745\" data-end=\"1748\" \/>\ud83d\udcb6 <strong data-start=\"1751\" data-end=\"1763\">Currency<\/strong>: Euro (\u20ac)<br data-start=\"1773\" data-end=\"1776\" \/>\ud83d\udde3\ufe0f <strong data-start=\"1780\" data-end=\"1793\">Languages<\/strong>: English and Irish (Gaelic)<br data-start=\"1821\" data-end=\"1824\" data-is-only-node=\"\" \/>\u23f0 <strong data-start=\"1826\" data-end=\"1839\">Time zone<\/strong>: UTC 0 (winter) \/ UTC +1 (summer)<br data-start=\"1873\" data-end=\"1876\" \/>\ud83c\udf21\ufe0f <strong data-start=\"1880\" data-end=\"1891\">Climate<\/strong>: Mild oceanic and changeable; frequent showers, temperate summers<br data-start=\"1957\" data-end=\"1960\" \/>\ud83d\ude97 <strong data-start=\"1963\" data-end=\"1974\">Driving<\/strong>: Left-hand side; good roads, narrower rural lanes in the west<br data-start=\"2036\" data-end=\"2039\" \/>\ud83d\ude86 <strong data-start=\"2042\" data-end=\"2068\">Getting there &amp; around<\/strong>: Airports in Dublin, Cork, Shannon; efficient intercity trains and buses; ferries from Great Britain\/France<br data-start=\"2176\" data-end=\"2179\" \/>\ud83c\udfde\ufe0f <strong data-start=\"2183\" data-end=\"2197\">Highlights<\/strong>: Dublin (Trinity College &amp; Book of Kells), Galway &amp; Connemara, Cliffs of Moher, the Burren, Dingle Peninsula, Ring of Kerry, Wicklow Mountains, Kilkenny, Aran Islands, Wild Atlantic Way<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 data-start=\"2385\" data-end=\"2419\">\ud83c\udfe8 Find a good hotel in Ireland<\/h2>\r\n<p data-start=\"2421\" data-end=\"2733\">Whether you\u2019re focusing on historic cities, the Atlantic coast, the southwest peninsulas or the country\u2019s heartlands, you\u2019ll find castle hotels, welcoming B&amp;Bs, characterful guesthouses and nature retreats. \ud83c\udf1f <strong data-start=\"2633\" data-end=\"2672\"><a class=\"decorated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/booking.tp.st\/xVbHxX8p\" rel=\"noopener\" data-start=\"2635\" data-end=\"2670\">See the best hotels in Ireland<\/a><\/strong> to compare offers, reviews and prices for your travel dates.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3 data-start=\"2735\" data-end=\"2765\">\ud83d\uddfa\ufe0f Articles about Ireland<\/h3>\r\n<p data-start=\"2767\" data-end=\"2940\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Below, you\u2019ll find our <strong data-start=\"2790\" data-end=\"2829\">selection of articles about Ireland<\/strong>, followed by the <strong data-start=\"2847\" data-end=\"2863\">latest posts<\/strong>, to help you plan your trip and explore the country\u2019s most beautiful places.<\/p>","link":"https:\/\/destinations-europe.com\/en\/category\/visit-ireland\/","name":"IRELAND","slug":"visit-ireland","taxonomy":"category","parent":0,"meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Travelling in Ireland | Guides and advice, from Cork to Dublin<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Traveling to Ireland means diving into the traditions of an island with a unique character.
