Considered one of the most beautiful countries in the world, Ireland in Europe is a great destination for outdoor enthusiasts. Dublin, the country’s capital, is known for its historic structures, such as Dublin Castle and Kilmainham Gaol, and tourist attractions, such as Guinness Storehouse where you can enjoy tastings of the famous local brew. You can also visit Cork to explore its thriving food scene. Killarney National Park, which boasts plenty of scenic trails for hiking and walking, is great for those who wish to enjoy some outdoor recreational activities. If you wish to explore the countryside, booking a cottage may be ideal as it allows you to be closer to nature. Check out the best cottage-style Airbnbs in Ireland.
