Kyle Dennis of Nashville, Tennessee talks about the great things that make Ireland a great travel destination for the whole family. Read the original blog: https://kyledennis.org/why-ireland-is-a-great-travel-destination/
2. Ireland can often be overlooked as
a tourist location when compared
with other European countries,
such as Italy and France. The
"Emerald Isle," however, boasts
gorgeous scenery, enchanting
castles, detailed history, rich food1
and cozy pubs that make it a great
tourist destination during any time
of the year. When planning an Irish
vacation, be sure to make time for
these popular spots.
3. No trip to Ireland is complete
without a taste of its official drink,
Guinness. More than three million
pints of the stout is made daily in its
St. James Gate Brewery. A tour of the
Guinness Storehouse allows visitors
to tour the process, get hands-on
experience while pulling pints and
sampling the drink at the end.

4. FESTIVALS
Over 400 festivals are thrown throughout the country each year. From the
Cork Sailing Festival, the Galway International Oyster Festival, the popular
St. Patrick's Day festival to the Galway Arts Festival, there is something for
every tourist. Festivals feature local food, lively music, and a carnival-like
atmosphere that will delight visitors.
5. Medevil Castles
Experience the green countryside and delve into history with a
trip out to Ireland's castles and Brú na Bóinne. Kilkenny, Cahir,
Blarney, and Dunguaire castles all attract tourists each year for
their romantic, haunted feel of the past.
6. Outdoor fans won't need to look
far to be surrounded by adventure
and remarkable scenery. The
Burren National Park in County
Clare has glorious wildflowers in
the spring and has many hiking
paths suitable for tourists of all
ages. The highest peak on the
island, Carrauntoohil, offers views
of the Atlantic Ocean,
Macgillycuddy’s Reeks and
Killarney on clear days.
