Ireland, forever the "Emerald Isle"​

The Republic of Ireland is identified by lush, verdant landscapes, historic castles and cathedrals, some of the most celebrated artists and writers in the world, oh and a rather pleasant dark beer that takes a fortnight to pour... among other outstanding highlights!

Kilmainham Gaol, Dublin​

This former jail, now an engaging museum, has a dark past. Incarcerated under dreadful conditions, many prisoners were executed within its walls. The facility was decommissioned in 1924.

National Museum Dublin​

Allow a good couple of hours to browse the outstanding collections of art, natural history, and archaeology housed in this first-class cultural institution. Look out for the late 11th-century Breac Maodhóg, or Irish reliquary, with its bronze saints (pictured).

Francis Bacon Studio-Hugh Lane Gallery, Dublin​

In 1998 the studio of Dublin-born Francis Bacon (1909–1992), celebrated for his abstract figurative works, was moved from London to the Hugh Lane Gallery. Every item is on gloriously chaotic display.

St. Stephen's Green, Dublin​

A bust of James Joyce, a garden dedicated to Yeats (replete with a sculpture by Henry Moore), and a memorial to the Great Famine are just three of the cultural features embellishing the city's most famous green space.

The Little Museum of Dublin​

The city's very own people's museum is crammed with a collection of quaint and quirky artifacts donated entirely by the citizens of Dublin. Themed exhibition space includes a floor dedicated to Irish rock band U2.

Malin Head, County Donegal​

The most northerly point of the island of Ireland is characterized by a rugged coastal landscape, some fine though rather windswept beaches, and a picnic spot on the very last headland before Greenland!

Dingle Peninsula, County Kerry​

If you've seen 'Ryan's Daughter' (1970) you'll remember the schoolhouse that was home to Robert Mitchum's and Sarah Miles's characters. The set was preserved after filming wrapped up and today it stands in dilapidated glory near Dunquin.
