I booked my car through www.novacarhire.com and found the experience to be really good. They are a discount internet company who will make and confirm a booking with a real company in Ireland. My first company was Irish Car Rentals. They were nice and service was fast. I…

Killarney remains a small town by all standards, but has been around for more than 250 years and is a wonderful destination for a trip to Ireland. There are plenty of things to do, both in this great tourist community and in the surrounding area. Of course you can find souvenirs everywhere, restau…

If you go to temple bar, it can be great craic (translation: "good fun" :-P), but don't expect to see many Irish people there who aren't either just passing though or drunk off their heads. For traditional irish music, there are a few options in that area. There's "plastic paddy" music upstairs in t…

1) Dublin is expensive.
2) Dublin IS expensive.
3) But the pubs are worth it.
4) If you can stay at a friends place, the Euros can be stretched.
5) Have a good rain coat.
6) Bus fare is either 1.05, 1.50, or 2.00 (have the change ready)
7) For Guinness: the brewery itself, the Bleeding Horse, …

Rose Inn Street and John Street can be a bit rough late on Friday and Saturday nights - as a girl, I wouldn't walk up there alone at night. There are also a lot of drunk people in and around Supermacs on High Street after closing time.
When it's raining Kilkenny can be a bit miserable to walk aro…

In July 2003 we took a long weekend break to Kinsale, Co Cork, Ireland. It’s a little town situated just outside Cork on Irelands west coast. Friends had visited the area the year previously and were forever telling us about how beautiful and quaint the town was. So over the July holidays in North…

I have now rented cars in many airports and even if I almost use the same company every time I am amazed by the differences that I experience.
In Dublin Airport the delivery of the car was one of the fastest and best processes I have seen from Hertz. It was many times faster than anything I had s…

Tourist Mecca is Matt Molloys, bang in the middle of the main street (where I grew up, incidentally). Matt used to play for The Chieftains so the emphasis is on traditional live music and there's something on there every night. The front half of the bar has an olde world feel to it and a…

It's only in it's 2nd year, the Christmas Market at the Docklands but well worth a visit. It has lots of lovely stalls with handcrafted presents, food and Gluhwein (some type of mulled wine). It starts at the 12th December this year (2006) and it will be there until Christmas Eve.
Cross your finger…

When we were planning our trip to Ireland the majority of places we wanted to see would link us to a website for the Irish Heritage Card. We looked into it further and found that it would work perfectly for us. It's like a pass you buy it either thru the website (we had…

The town of Falcarragh has as many faces as it has names! On some maps it shows up as 'Crossroads' deriving from its Irish language name Na Croisbhealaí but older maps refer to it as Robinson's Town, but its now listed as An Fál Carrach in Gaelic meaning the long or rough hedge. A town of around 1…

The Cork Jazz Festival is held every October, and sees a huge influx of tourists visit the city, said to be in the range of 40,000. Most of these are from other parts of Ireland or are from the UK, but people do travel from around the world for it, as it is highly regarded as one of the greatest jaz…

The ferry ride from Dublin across the channel to England was a real treat. Unlike our trip across the first time this one was a jet powered catamaran that got up to 38 knots while crossing the channel which meant less than half the time. This hour and forty-five minutes was smooth, fast, and very …

My sister and I fulfilled our lifelong dream of backpacking through Europe. Our first stop was the lovely Shannon airport. We had been told that Shannon and the surrounding areas were much more beautiful than Dublin and its surrounding areas. At first we were stunned and quite confused as to why som…
