The Emerald Isle - a country without a ‘touristy’ feel and plenty to explore

Travellers looking for a destination full of charm, friendly people, solid service without a “touristy” feel and plenty of places to explore should plan an Ireland travel experience. In addition to pubs and Riverdance-style step dancers, Ireland also features local musicians, friendly locals, stunning scenery, ruins and historical sites, and golfing to enjoy at a relaxed pace.

Nearly everyone will find something to enjoy when travelling in Ireland, be it the green countryside, Irish whiskey, shopping, bicycling tours or wandering sheep. Traditional culture still thrives at this destination, and even becoming one of Europe’s economic successes hasn’t changed the Emerald Isle’s people or way of life too much. Travelling to Ireland where its known for good service, lots of accommodation options and little crime is ideal for any keen traveller. Even the souvenir shops seem rather low-key.

A hint, do not rush your travel around Ireland. Although it’s possible to drive the length of Ireland in less than a day and to traverse the width of the country in a few hours, you might prefer to settle in and explore a particular region, whether on foot, on horseback or behind the wheel—mindful, of course, of wandering sheep on small back roads.
