Dublin, the capital of Ireland, is a warm and welcoming city, known for the friendliness of its people and famous for its craic. Each of the many bridges spans the river and has its history and style. Whether you fancy Michelin-star dining, cozy cafés, tasty Irish classics, the best in world cuisine, bustling food markets, or fresh seafood straight from the coast, Dublin’s a place with something to suit all tastes.

Donegal is known for its wild, rugged beauty, as well as Bundoran – the surfing capital of Ireland. Other sights of interest include the Slieve League Cliffs and the Wild Atlantic Way coastal route.

Belfast is a rising star, emerging from years of political unease to take its place among the UK’s must-see destinations. A visit will swiftly be rewarded with welcoming locals, superb pubs and restaurants, and top attractions, including the atmospheric Crumlin Road Gaol and walking tours of Belfast’s famous murals.

Loch Lomond is central to the National Park; it is a must-visit destination popular for walkers, wildlife enthusiasts, adventure seekers, and tourists.
