The Irish Republic's Capital, Dublin, now ranks among the top tourist destinations in Europe. Although Dublin is famous for its vibrant nightlife and party atmosphere, the city's museums, art galleries, and historical buildings are definitely worth visiting. They offer a wealth of interesting exhibits, everything from the proverbial pot of Irish gold and artistic riches of the book of Kells to a host of other interesting artifact. The Dublin Theater Festival takes place every October for two weeks and brings together the best of Irish and international theater. An exciting Fringe Festival also follows.

Exploring Ireland is something for which every visitors should try and allow time. The scenery is simply breathtaking and the coastal drives are stunning. Travel South-West from Dublin and you will come across the provincial cities of Cork and Shannon. Ancient castles, quaint harbor, picturesque villages, all make this area well worth a visit.
On the western shore of Ireland, Connemara and Galway are just two of the popular towns located along the rugged coastline. Horse breeding and farming are the main sources of income in this area.
