IRELAND - VISIT THE "ANCIENT PEARL" OF
WESTERN EUROPE
If Ireland is a destination listed in
your plan, late summer is the best
time to visit this beautiful country.
The rainy season in Ireland often
lasts for a long time with fog
covering most major cities, but
the weather starts to clear and get
warmer in June, making it the
perfect time for visitors to explore
ancient castles and buildings,
and enjoy lush pastures everywhere
you go.
Despite not having the lively
atmosphere of an industrial nation,
Ireland nevertheless possesses a
mysterious charm that has enticed
international travelers again and
again. Spend an extra few days on
your trip to visit the Blarney Castle
and Ashford Castle, wander
around the alleys, visit museums in
Dublin, or the Cliffs of Moher for
stunning views.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
- Get there: Direct flights to Ireland from Vietnam
are not yet available, but you can transit in the UK
before flying to Dublin.
- Eat: Irish cuisine is very unique. You should try
traditional Irish potato pancake Boxty, and Coddle,
an interesting Irish dish that uses up leftovers.
- Tip: Ireland is not part of the Schengen Area, so
you must apply for a separate visa when entering
the country. Ireland does not have subway, but
you can travel by train, tram, and bus. You should
spend at least a week in Ireland to experience "the
country with the best quality living in the world".
Keep in mind though that people drive on the
opposite side of the road, so be sure to look both
ways when crossing streets.
