Ireland
Highlights:
The capital, Dublin, boasts a buzzing nightlife and shopping scene centred around busker’s paradise Grafton Street. The Dublin Writers Museum commemorates an extraordinary literary heritage headed by James Joyce, Samuel Beckett and Oscar Wilde, while the famous Book of Kells is displayed at the legendary Trinity College. Vibrant Galway is the flagship beach destination on the dazzling West Coast, while picturesque Cork, in the south, is steeped in charm and history.
Food & drink:
Fans of a good brew mustn’t miss a visit to the legendary Guinness Storehouse in Dublin. Specialties like drisheen (a type of black pudding) and crubeens (pigs’ feet) can be sampled at Cork’s famous English Market. No one does great pubs like the Irish, with hearty fare and great hospitality guaranteed throughout.
Off the beaten track:
The staggering Neolithic site Brú na Bóinne, in the Boyne Valley, predates Stonehenge by a full millennium, while breathtaking views reward pilgrims who climb up Croagh Patrick mountain. Skellig Michael – perched atop a craggy island in the Atlantic – is only reachable by boat, making it the most remote of Ireland’s numerous stunning monasteries.
