I've met people from Ireland,
who live here now.
Inevitably we wind up talking about why they're here,
& what they miss about Ireland.
I think Ireland would be an interesting trip-
I'd love to see Dublin, especially.
Although everyone says it's insanely expensive-
it'd still be worth doing.
I'd also like to find the off the beaten path places to experience a real Irish pub.....
Off the beaten track is the best. You can go down some out of the way country road and see the most beautiful scenery. The country pubs are the best as well. Much more traditional in nature.
The westcoast of Ireland would be the best to visit in my opinion as it has a lot of unspoilt beauty. Galway is a fantastic place for music and a great atmosphere.
The Skelligs in Co Kerry are pretty unique and a UNESCO world heritage site. Monks used to go there for solitude in the Early Celtic Church and built a christian monastery there in the 6th century. Here is a haunting song called Skellig by Loreena McKennitt.

This is all on the west coast of Ireland except for Newgrange. Ireland is definitely worth a visit. Anyone I've know that has visited Ireland loved it.
Hopefully some more people will add to this thread.
Never been, sounds lovely, I would love to visit, the music would be a big attraction for me.not to mention the scenery.
The 2,500km route which stretches from Malin Head in Co Donegal to the Old Head of Kinsale in Co Cork was officially launched yesterday as part of a bid to revitalise tourism on the west coast.
I would like to visit Ireland or Scotland for about a week. I've visited England before, but only have been within an hour's ride by train from London and only stayed about a week. I know the areas are different enough to visit again and probably appreciate the history this time around being a bit older.
I wouldn't want to go to any of the Scandinavian countries because they're all the same. Why would I want to go to say Norway when it's similar to other countries?
That makes no sense at all. So you do not want to visit Norway because it is too similar to Sweden. Sweden because it is too similar to Denmark. Denmark because it too similar to Sweden. ∞
As said, the British had invaded ROI culturally. Too many people speak english, many things very similiar to the UK. Blame the Brits.
He must be Irish. They blame the Brits for everything. They have an inferiority complex. And Ireland is not worth a visit. I have been there and a very underwhelming place.
