Ireland
Magical countryside
T

imagination with its charm. Although a relatively small country,
Ireland’s countryside includes an impressive range of landscapes:
towering mountains, magical woodlands, rolling pastures,
rocky coastlines, and shadowy peat bogs. Sleepy villages dot the
countryside as cosmopolitan cities dominate the cultural landscape.
Not to forget the warm, friendly and hospitable people, always
ready to stop for a chat or lend a helping hand.
Climate
The best time to visit Ireland is during late spring to early autumn,
May to September.
Getting Around
Dublin has a comprehensive local bus network, as do some other
larger towns. Taxis tend to be expensive and the train network links
