Temple Bar in Dublin, IrelandMuseum of the Old Jameson Distillery in Dublin, Ireland

In Dublin, Georgian charm blends with literary legacy. Stroll cobbled streets once walked by Yeats and Joyce, admire the Book of Kells at Trinity College, then tour the Guinness Storehouse or Jameson Distillery—before unwinding in the elegance of a storied historic hotel.

Ireland’s rich past echoes across the land, from Tipperary’s Rock of Cashel to Cork’s Blarney Castle, where the famous Stone promises the gift of eloquence. Soak up traditional music in Galway's lively streets, try archery in castle gardens, or forage with a chef for traditional Irish ingredients.

Along Ireland's wild Atlantic coast, world-class surfing breaks crash against dramatic shores, while Clare's jaw-dropping Cliffs of Moher provide heart-stopping backdrops for coastal walks.

  • "Dublin is such a vibrant city you should always add in an extra day or two to explore its charms. It buzzes with energy, from the lively streets of Temple Bar to the historic halls of Trinity College. Wander along the River Liffey, stopping for a pint of Guinness in a cozy pub, which most likely has live music playing. Meander in Dublin Castle and St. Patrick’s Cathedral, and live like locals by having an ocean swim at The Forty Foot, a storied swimming spot.”

  • “For those seeking something extraordinary, I recommend retreating to Ireland’s treasure trove of castles. Ireland has many resplendent castles to choose from, with lavish interiors, beautiful grounds, a myriad of activities, fine dining and world class spas. A stay at one of them, ensures you experience Ireland with the best of their traditions, & where you will always feel a sense of Fáilte, (welcome)."
