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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

Before I moved to Dublin, someone told me that public transport in Dublin is appalling. I thought, how bad can it be...little did I know!
Appaling is not the right word to use and I believe there's no word that could describe how bad Dublin Bus really is. One thing though, I am originally from Germ...

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.

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...

How many of us are excited by castles? If my guess is right, more than half. Presently there are over 20,000 members here and even if only 10% are interested in castles that still makes for a lot of people. So even though the data I am presenting is from my local newspaper and says it was original...

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...
