From ancient monuments to incredible spectacles of natural beauty, Ireland has something for every taste.
Found in Western Europe tucked next to Great Britain, Ireland is a relatively safe country – but as with any trip abroad – you might want to think about picking up travel insurance.
Read on our list of some of the top must see locations for any visit to Ireland.
The Cliffs of Moher, County Clare
It is the most photographed place in Ireland: a historic and beautiful place. Every year, over one million visitors descend along these sheer cliffs that stretch for 8 km along the Wild Atlantic Way. These cliffs have appeared in films such as: Harry Potter and The fantastic story.
Walking overhanging the sea is a unique sensation, it seems to be on the edge of the world and the panorama reaches its maximum poetry when the colours of the sunset come on.
It’s a silent place, where the peace is only interrupted by the flight of birds, the sound of the wind and the waves breaking on the rocks.
