IRELAND & DUBLIN

Ireland – on the edge of Europe.
Ireland is an island to the north-west of continental Europe. It is the third-largest island in Europe and the twentieth-largest island on Earth.  Alhough we are on the edge of Europe looking out to the Atlantic, when you arrive in Dublin, you will not only meet the welcoming Irish people but experience the great dynamic, multi-cultural cities and towns of Ireland.

With one of Europe’s youngest populations, Ireland has a lot to offer.
From the north with the breathtaking Giants causeway, to the west with Galway, the city of Tribes, then the wild mountains of Kerry in the south and of course Dublin the heart and capital of the country.
