Ireland Travel GuideINTRODUCTION Fancy yourself a pint of Guinness or a little whiskey at the close of the day coupled with some witty banter from the locals about current events? Then Ireland is the place for your next trip abroad. From the hustle and bustle of brilliant Dublin to the quiet pubs of Killarney, Ireland will fascinate and intrigue you to no end.  Most visitors tend to find the charm of the Western coast to be their ideal vision of Irish culture but don't let that stop you from exploring the Eastern coast. Dublin is alive and rich with Gaelic heritage. Several museums dealing in Irish literary figures and artists will give you a solid perspective of this culture's originality. The Guinness brewery is one of the main attractions of the city, boasting a thoroughly enlightening tour of how this unique beverage is made.  When the city has exhausted you, head into some of the lesser known towns and you'll find that the Emerald Isle's moniker is no lie. Towns like Sligo, Westport and the ring of Kerry will not let you down. If you branch out and go deeper into the heart of Ireland you'll find greener than green pastures in a serene countryside unmatched by any other you have come across. Endless opportunities for edifying travel await you in this beautiful country.
