A short guide about Ireland

Ireland is made up of the Republic of Ireland containing 26 counties and Northern Ireland containing 6 counties. It is located in north-western Europe, to the west of the United Kingdom, the North Atlantic Ocean, and the Irish Sea. It is a land steeped in history but not particularly with historical marvels. Ireland is known for its misty green countryside, its culture and tradition (including legends and folklore), and its warm-hearted and friendly people.

In Hibernia of yore, Ireland was too cold and bleak a country for the Romans to colonize. Many say that In fact the Romans were unsure of exactly where Ireland was and actually thought it was off the west coast of Spain. The native Celtic people continued to worship the sun till they were ostensibly converted to Christianity by St. Patrick in the 5th century. The mythology says that Saint Patrick actually rid the country of snakes as well.

Ireland is a small country with picturesque countryside. If you want to explore some tourist destinations that are off-the-beaten-track, Ireland has plenty of them. To begin with, the Burren region is an extraordinary place with underground springs, caverns, chasms, and cracks. The most notable of such caves are known as the Aliwee Caves, which are being developed on a continuous basis, to connect the naturally occurring sections of it.

The areas around Killarney are great for hiking and biking as well. Add to it the Aran Islands particularly Inis Meain Clonmacnois, and Connemara, Galway and Sligo and you are sure to have a wonderful time close to nature. Ireland is one of those ideal travelling destinations except for one thing: the weather. But you would be foolish to let this stop you. If it should pour down, you can always drop into the nearest pub for a pint, and Tourabout has the best tours available for any type of traveller.
