About Ireland
Ireland is located on the western edge of Europe and is just a six hour flight from the east coast of the US. It’s characterized by its lush green rolling hills, sheer cliffs meeting the sea and its prominent pub culture.
Irish people are particularly known for being friendly and outgoing. They are happy to share a conversation with you – everyone from the taxi cab driver to the stranger sitting next to you at the local pub. The climate is generally mild with moderate
winters and cool summers; though you can always expect a surprise rain shower at any point during the day.
Once ruled by the British, the Irish people declared their independence in 1919. While the British influence still remains in some areas, Irish people maintain their own culture and traditions. The Irish even maintain their own language called Irish Gaelic,
which is still spoken natively by about 300,000 people in remote regions of the country.
Lodging in Ireland ranges from dorm room accommodations for backpackers to luxury hotels. One common option for travelers is stay out of the city to experience an intimate country cottage or mansion. Many of these cottages are historic buildings and they
maintain large properties farther out from the cities so you can enjoy a peaceful night in a unique accommodation style.
