| Ireland’s beautiful landscapes make for great backdrops for many adventurous activities. Whether golf, sailing, or sea kayaking is your adventure of choice, you’ll be able to experience it in Ireland.

 Much of Ireland, especially major cities such as Dublin, hosts a vibrant social and cultural lifestyle. From sing-alongs at the local pub to cutting-edge contemporary art, there are plenty of avenues for entertainment, all of which have a uniquely Irish twist. Ireland is full of museums and art galleries and offers, especially during the summer months, a wide range of cultural events from music festivals to farming events. The most popular of these are the annual Dublin Saint Patrick's Day Festival which attracts on average 500,000 people to downtown Dublin each March |
