Starting in Dublin , the largest city in Ireland, you quickly see how this is a unique place. You can witness people milling about on a Sunday morning, lazily wandering down Grafton Street and waiting for the shops to open. Enjoy a cup of coffee while the flower cart vendors set up their beautiful blooms and street performers start to emerge for a day’s entertainment. Grafton Street features many shops to enjoy, from Tommy Hilfiger to Marks & Spencer. From there, take a stroll into one of the most magnificent green spaces in the city – St. Stephen’s Park. Irish citizens share a love of nature and the beauty she has bestowed on this tiny jewel of an island. In a country that has famously been said to have 1,000 shades of green, even on a cool spring day the smell of the new blooms and budding trees is a memorable experience. This is only the first taste of the truly awesome splendor of things to come on a journey to Ireland.

County Kerry is home to Dingle, Killarney and many outdoor spaces worth exploring, most notably the Ring of Kerry and

Killarney National Park

The Ring of Kerry is over 100 miles of the most stunning coastline in the world. With every twist and turn you will see the wild sea, lovely mountains and farmland dotted with adorable sheep. There are many Celtic ruins along the way and quaint villages that offer hospitality along with refreshment. The Ring of Kerry’s popularity stems not only from the beauty of the area, but also from the opportunity it offers to experience the passion for life the Irish have as you stop for lunch, drop into a pub or visit a boutique. Killarney is a great base for exploration. The town sits on the edge of a remarkable stretch of land that covers 25,000 square miles and around every bend you will feel as if you are entering a fairytale world. With castle ruins, an 18th-century estate house that can transport you to the first days of Irish independence and a trail to the Ring of Kerry, Killarney National Park holds adventure at every turn.
