Book Reviews of Ireland For Dummies

Book Review: Excellent / easy reading book!
Summary: 5 Stars

I have really enjoyed this book so far - we have not made our trip to Ireland yet so I can't compare it with my travel plans yet. This book had great down to earth tips in it - What not to say, why you don't say it - make time for ...... Told you those "little" things that a friend that lived in Ireland might mention to you, but someone traveling would never know! I recommend the purchase

Summary of Ireland For Dummies

Relatively tiny Ireland (32,600 sq. miles) packs great attractions into a small area. You can pack a lot of diverse experiences into your trip with this book as your guide. Climb the cliffs. Kiss the blarney stone. Have a bowl of Irish stew and a pint of Guinness in a local pub. Pay homage to literary giants W. B. Yeats, James Joyce, or Frank McCourt. Play championship golf courses. Whether you?re a book lover or a golf nut?a history buff or a Celtic music fan?a full-fledged adventurer or a laid-back sight-seer, you?ll find plenty to enjoy in this guide that gives you the scoop on:
  • Historic sights, including the 5,000 year old Newgrange Tomb, the burial mounds at Knowth, the storied Hill of Tara, ancient seat of the Irish high kings, and Glendalough, a monastic community founded in the sixth century
  • Gorgeous natural wonders, including the sheer Cliffs of Moher and Slieve League cliffs; the rocky, wildflower-studded Burren; the beautiful Aran Islands; the wild landscape of Connemara; and more
  • Cosmopolitan Dublin, hot-and-happening Belfast, and intriguing medieval villages
  • The Traditional Irish Musical Pub Crawl
  • Strolling through Powerscourt Garden?or touring the Waterford Crystal Factory
  • Exploring Killarney National Park on horseback, on a bike, or on foot
  • Driving the Ring of Kerry with its seascapes, cliffs, and spectacular mountain views or the Dingle Peninsula?with its patchwork of farms, plus sandy beaches, craggy cliffs, and more seascapes
  • Staying in an ancient but luxurious castle or a comfortable B & B overlooking a working dairy farm
  • Dining on diverse cuisines, ranging from Italian to Mediterranean to fusion and from meat-and-potatoes to sushi; enjoying great pub food at a local haunt or feasting at a medieval banquet in an authentic castle

  • Down-to-earth trip-planning advice
  • What you shouldn't miss--and what you can skip
