Exploring Ireland

Dublin is Ireland’s chief attraction, a small, friendly
capital with most of its sights and lively nightlife
concentrated in the center. Elsewhere the pace
of life is less hectic and the country’s great appeal
is in its landscape: from the lush green pastures,
bogs, and lakes of the center of the island to
dramatic mountains and bleak, rocky
headlands in the southwest. Touring Jaunting car for hire in Killarney
by car is the most convenient way
to explore Ireland, which has a Old Bushmills
Distillery
