Ireland Country Guide

Ireland is a country with both beauty and brains. Across its green blanket landscape are picturesque villages and lively cities. Rural life remains simple and remote, and urban centres, such as Cork and Dublin, have a cultural influence around the world.

Engaging locals
Talk to any local and you'll find they are well-read and happy to engage in conversation (over a pint of course). Yet Ireland's attraction does not only rely on lovers of the arts; outdoor enthusiasts and history fans can tickle their interests with bucolic walks which pass by stone cottages or prehistoric monuments, such as the burial tombs found in the Boyne Valley. If the weather on the walk has been a little inclement, the Irish have the perfect antidote: a cosy public house. Wander though the door of any pub in the land and there may well be an impromptu fiddle and song session, or at least a sociable chat - the Irish love to talk.

Cork Vs Dublin
Cork in the south of the country is Ireland's second largest city. Corkonians enjoy a friendly banter with Dubliners over the significance of the city (Cork is of course Ireland's real capital!), in fact they enjoy a bit of banter of most things. With a lovable, if occasionally incomprehensible, accent, the Cork people are among Ireland's friendliest.

The country's dynamic capital, Dublin, has become the envy of Europe - and one of its greatest success stories. Utterly transformed in the last 20 years, the Dublin of today is a luxury destination with upmarket shops, hectic nightlife and the world's best pubs. Ireland's cultural and economic transformation over the years has been remarkable and although the economy has recently taken a hit, Ireland looks to the future with untrammelled confidence - as it always has.
