Things to do while traveling around Ireland:

A Holiday in Ireland

In the wake of the economic recession in the UK more and more residents are choosing to take their annual holiday closer to home. They have even invented a new word for it, the staycation. Sure, it might sound a bit flakey, but this simple option can save tourists hundreds of pounds over foreign destinations, since most airlines and hotels have special deals for residents of the UK.

And even though it is an independent country, no longer part of the UK, Ireland is one of the most visited nations in the region. Fortunately, airfare rates and accommodation are often quite reasonable for UK residents.

The first thing to remember when travelling to Ireland is that they have accepted the Euro. So, make certain you exchange your pounds for Euros before you leave. Fortunately, UK residents do not need a passport to travel to the Emerald Isle, all they need is a driving licence or some other form of ID. Also, don't forget to pack your golf clubs and wetsuits , because there's a lot more to do in Ireland than most guests expect.

Yes, Ireland is a coldwater region, but in the summer months it has some of the most beautiful and busy beaches in the British Isles. Most of these beaches are located on the sunny south coast of Ireland. Cottages and other economical accommodations are available year round, but are obviously pricier in the summer months.

For tourists who want the full experience and don't mind paying for it, many Irish castles have been converted into full service five-star hotels. These accommodations are quite popular with well-heeled guests from all over the world.
