When most people think of Ireland, the first thing they think of is the lush green landscapes, welcoming pubs and beautiful castles that adorn this beautiful land. But there is so much more to Ireland. It contains countless hidden treasures waiting to be discovered. Now let’s embark together on this wonderful journey through the land of rainbows.
Hidden centers of the Irish countryside
Ireland is not just Dublin and other major cities like Cork or Galway. Go off the beaten path and visit hidden corners hidden in lesser known places. Visit the small village of Dingle on the west coast, where you will meet some of the friendliest people in the world and enjoy beautiful views of the Atlantic Ocean.
Groomed and wild trails
If you’re a nature lover, you can’t miss a walk along the Wild Atlantic Way, one of the longest coastal roads in the world. This route offers you the opportunity to admire some of the most dramatic and beautiful scenery Ireland has to offer. You can also visit the pristine beaches of Arranmore and Achill islands, where you will enjoy peace and quiet, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Rich Irish history
Irish history can be felt at every turn. Visit mysterious ancient monuments such as Newgrange or the Hill of Tara, which were important sites in Irish Celtic mythology. But if you’re interested in the history of the conflict in Northern Ireland, don’t miss a visit to the famous political graffiti on the streets of Belfast.
Mysterious Irish castles
Castles are undoubtedly one of Ireland’s most charming features. Every castle has its own story waiting to be discovered. From the opulent Ashford Castle to the mighty Trim Castle, where the movie “Braveheart” was filmed, Ireland’s castles offer you the chance to immerse yourself in the charms of history.
The magic of Irish music
If you want to truly feel the spirit of Ireland, you must indulge in its music. A visit to one of the local pubs, where musicians gather in the evenings to play traditional Irish music, is an unforgettable experience. There you will catch the pulse of Irish life and learn how important music is in their culture.
A walk through time in museums
Ireland is known for its rich and varied history, so it is no surprise that it is home to many outstanding museums. Whether you head to the National Museum of Ireland in Dublin, where you’ll learn all about Irish history from prehistoric times to the present day, or visit the Titanic Museum in Belfast, which tells the story of the famous ship, you’re sure to find something to fascinate you.
Exploring Irish cuisine
Irish gastro-tourism is on the rise, so now is a great time to explore Irish cuisine. Go on a culinary journey and try some of the traditional dishes such as Irish goulash, soda bread or a traditional Irish breakfast. Don’t forget to try the excellent Irish whiskeys or, of course, Guinness.

It is a place where you can feel the history at every turn, where you will be charmed by warm Irish hospitality, where you will find countless hidden treasures waiting to be discovered.
