Ireland – Guinness, Dance and breath taking scenery
People come to Ireland from all over the world every year for various reasons. Some come to look at the renowned scenery. Others come to study the ancient Gaelic language and connect with the past. Many people come simply to drink the Guinness. Due to the rising popularity of Irish music in soundtracks, and the success of several Irish bands in the mainstream, people often flock to the Island in search of an authentic musical experience. Still others simply come with no agenda other than to explore and see what the country has to offer.

Music is all over the Island. In any town or city in Ireland, there will likely be a pub that boasts of live traditional music in the evenings. The trick is to find something that is not specifically set up to cater to tourists. Some would say that the smaller the pub, the better the music.
Most of the best musicians are known for sticking around their local pub where they live. For example, Matt Malloy from Westport is often found playing in his small pub in Westport County May when he’s not on tour. Some of the best music on the Island can be found in a tiny village in West Clare called Doolin which is right on the edge of the sea.
For those who simply want to taste the Guinness and the Jameson’s, they will find both factories where their tipple is created in Dublin. Both factories offer tours, and of course, free samples, and Dublin offers endless options of pubs to continue the tasting experience!

For the scenery, there will be few places in Ireland that disappoint. The Irish themselves will argue of where the real points of beauty are, but favourite spots for Tourists are the Ring of Kerry, and the Dingle Peninsula. The Cliffs of Moher in West Clare are another breath taking spot and for those who want to venture into the north of Ireland, the Giant’s causeway is another beautiful spot.
As the Irish were famous for emigrating around the world during the famous potato famine, descendants come from all over the world in search of their roots and to establish some sort of connection with the past. The Gaelic language also holds much fascination for Irish culture enthusiasts. The Aran Islands off the coast of County Claire are known for their preservation of the language, as well as the Dingle Peninsula.
Ireland vacations can narrow in on one aspect of the country, or be a combination of all of the above. Accommodation varies from hostels, cosy bed and breakfasts, to upmarket hotels. There is something for everyone.
