Ireland, also called the “Emerald Isle,” is a famous destination on every traveler’s bucket list, featuring jaw-dropping landscapes, lively music and festivals, stunning cities, and friendly Irish people. It’s where the world-famous series Game of Thrones was filmed, showcasing its beautiful terrain and regal castles. Take a road trip down its scenic countryside and you’ll see the richness of its Irish and Gaelic heritage through music and dance. Don’t forget to sample the well-known beverages here such as Guinness beer and whiskey. You’ll also love the Irish breakfast, which is toast or boxty served with mushrooms, sausages, eggs, and bacon. A few days will not be enough to fully explore all of Ireland’s offerings. Extend your stay for at least a month and check out the top monthly rentals in Ireland to experience a complete Irish holiday.
