Take Cheap Flights To See The Best Of Ireland

There are few places that offer such varied and dramatic scenery as Ireland along with such warm and friendly locals. The availability of cheap flights make Ireland an attractive destination and flights are available all year round to and from cities all over the UK and Europe. Whether holidaymakers are looking for excitement or for tranquillity, it is always possible to find cheap holidays to Ireland’s green interior or to take in the sea air and the dramatic coastal scenery the country has to offer.

Whether holidaymakers are looking to be immersed in history or drink in trendy city centre bars Ireland will not disappoint. In fact Ireland is such a popular place to visit that the number of yearly tourists, six million is two million larger than the total population. One of the most popular destinations in Ireland is the country’s capital city Dublin which offers visitors a wealth of history and a lively atmosphere. The area most popular with tourists is on the south bank of the river Liffey and a high concentration of hotels in and around the centre of the city mean cheap holidays offer great value by allowing tourists to have all of the most popular sights and destinations on their doorstep regardless of budget. South of Dublin is county Kilkenny where tourists can see the ruins of Jerpoint Abbey, or Kells priory where visitors can wander freely around the ruins of the 800 year old monastery.

Dublin may well be the destination of choice for a great number of visitors Ireland offers much more. Although holidaymakers who want to shop for the latest in high street or high fashion should visit the capital and wander through its historic streets and green squares before heading on to the restaurants and nightlife of the temple bar area, there are places in Ireland that are simply breathtaking and a delight for those who like a holiday packed with history and culture. Visitors can get flights to Belfast, the once turbulent capital of Northern Ireland, and be a step closer to the Giants causeway on the northern coast of the country.

The south east and the interior of Ireland have a number of cities and surrounding countryside full of cultural attractions. Cheap flights are available to Shannon airport in the south east which puts the abundant history of county Clare within easy reach, offering the chance to listen to traditional Irish music in Ennis and visit the 14th century Bunratty castle. Further south the vibrant city of limerick straddles the banks of the river Shannon and is arguably as good as anything Dublin has to offer. A flight south to Cork will put holidaymakers in the heart of another of Ireland’s buzzing cities with the added bonus of being within easy reach of the Killarney national park and some stunning walks along the south coast around the Mizen Head peninsula.
