there's lots to visit and to do. all depends on what you like and how much time you've got. in Dublin, as well as cafes, bars and clubs there is great shopping and lots of museums and art gallerys to visit. There is a hop on and hop off bus to take you ao. bout and you can buy tickets in most city newsagents. you could go to the zoo or to the jameson or guiness factory. you can take a dart train to the nearby coastal and very pretty towns of Howth or Dun Laoghaire or go as far as Bray in Co. Wicklow, which isn't far. if you like nature then Wicklow is the place. Only about an hour from Dublin, it has lots of gardens and a natural park. Ideal for hill walking is the wicklow way. Glendalough is really beautiful as is Powerscourt gardens. In Kildare, japanese gardens and national stud is fabulous if you like horses. County Clare is a great place, on the west coast of Ireland - the Burren, lahinch, cliffs of Moher. All really beautiful. Kilkenny has a beautiful castle and Dunmore caves. Sligo is very pretty with lots of lakes. Loughkey forest park in leitrim. Northern Ireland is also very pretty. Killarney, with lakes and scenery is fab too. Tourist office in Dublin is located in Suffolk street and also at the airport. They can give you any help for trips and what to see and do. Have a nice time.Dress warm and always at any time of year have a rain jacket. Good walking shoes also.Plenty of money as it is not very cheap.

For a friendly, lively atmosphere and great nightlife, visit Galway City. There is lots to do, especially if you enjoy live music and pubs!
For beauty, visit Connemara in County Galway, Westport and Achill Island in Mayo, and The Burren in County Clare.
For a real taste of Ireland as it used to be, visit Inis Meain, the second of the three Aran Islands in Galway Bay. It is unspoilt by tourism and is Irish speaking. Fantastic.
Have a wonderful trip!

Do you mean that you're planning a holiday?
Well,you have Dublin as a lively cultured capital.Nearby are The Wicklow mountains.The best scenery is in the West though-Kerry,Cork,Connemara,Donegal etc...The Dingle penisula in the far Southwest is a wild and remote beuatyspot.Be prepared for the weather though-it changes quite a lot,especially in the West.

Come over to Co Down and visit the grave of St. Patrick himself in Downpatrick. Then travel 12 miles to the beautiful Mountains of Mourne as they "sweep down to the sea". The mountains could well be N.Irelands first National Park.

You've got to try the Honeybear ice cream. As far as I know, you can only get it in Ireland, and it is the best stuff I've ever tasted.
Have a wonderful time there.

If you want to treat someone special, take them to the Inchadoney Lodge and Spa in Clonakilty, Co.Cork.
A luxurious hotel on Inchadoney beach and the spa is heavenly!
