Ireland Map
Ireland also known as Éire, is an island nation located just west of Great Britain in the North Atlantic. Nicknamed the “Emerald Isle” for its rolling green landscape, it blends a rich Celtic heritage with modern European culture. Visitors come for its literary tradition, lively folk music, and famously warm hospitality.
Top sightseeing routes include the Wild Atlantic Way, a dramatic 2,500-km coastal drive; the towering Cliffs of Moher; and the Ring of Kerry with its mountains, lakes, and postcard-worthy villages. In Dublin you can tour Trinity College to view the illuminated Book of Kells, explore historic Dublin Castle, and enjoy the pub-lined lanes of Temple Bar.
Further highlights are Blarney Castle—home of the legendary Blarney Stone—UNESCO-listed Skellig Michael, and vibrant cities such as Galway and Cork known for year-round arts and music festivals. Thanks to Ireland’s temperate maritime climate, travel is possible in all seasons, though long summer daylight makes June through August the most popular.
