Emerald Island or the island of natural treasures – this is also called Ireland. It is rare that any tourist is ready to go to this distant country, believing that if it does not have beach vacations and European entertainment, then what is wasting money to spend on a long trip. But if someone has visited this amazing country, he falls in love with her once and for all and tries to return here again and again. Because in one trip it is impossible to visit all the amazing places in Ireland.
Where to go in Ireland
1
Dublin is the capital of a small state in which antiquity and modernity blend harmoniously. A tourist will definitely get to this city when he arrives in the country, so here he should visit the main attraction – Dublin Castle. It was built in the 13th century, but still functions as a government agency. Be sure to go to the Viskikurnya Museum to taste the famous Irish whiskey. If there is not enough whiskey, then the next step is to the Guinness Museum Brewery. And, of course, visit the numerous national museums and ancient castles, which are very numerous in the vicinity of the city.

Do not linger in Dublin for a long time, because you need to have time to see the places for which you have come a long way. In the south-west of the island are two hundred meter cliffs of Moher, which descend steeply into the Atlantic Ocean, and the length of this magnificent natural structure is 8 km!

Moving away from the cliffs, along the southwest coast you can get to another miracle of Ireland – the Barren Plateau. It houses a natural rock garden, the shapes and sizes of which surprise even sophisticated mineral scientists.
4
Be sure to visit Killarney Lake. There are very few such magnificent species on earth, because these lakes have been preserved in their pristine beauty since the time of the ice age, when they formed. Killarney National Park is also located here, where you can admire the natural waterfalls..

In the Boyne Valley, there are the oldest religious buildings – three huge tombs, surrounded by thirty seven burial mounds. According to scientists, the age of ancient buildings is about 5 thousand years, which is even more than the age of the Egyptian pyramids.

Incredible natural wonders have already blinded you and would you like to stay in this wonderful country forever? You are unlikely to succeed, but you can really feel the spirit of Ireland – for this you need to make a trip to the Aran Islands. These islands are the only place in Ireland where locals still speak Irish (the majority of the country’s population is in English). Life on the islands flows quiet and measured. People, like many centuries ago, live in modest houses, raise sheep, cows, donkeys and horses. On the islands you will see in all its glory the Atlantic Ocean, which will leave a salty aftertaste on your lips.
Cool and restrained, but incredibly attractive Ireland will be remembered for a long time. And next time you will come here to continue an exciting journey – in this country there are still many places that you want to see.
Have a nice trip!
