IF YOU’RE looking for a holiday destinatio­n with unique culture, tasty food, lively nightlife and beautiful scenery that also doesn’t cost the earth and isn’t difficult to get to, then it’s time to visit Ireland.

Firstly, you have Dublin where you can spend your days exploring the famous Temple Bar nightlife, immersing yourself in fascinatin­g history, and peoplewatc­hing on Grafton Street.

Top experience­s in Dublin include the Guinness Museum, Little Museum of Dublin, Dublin Castle (once the workplace of Dracula author Bram Stoker) and Kilmainham Gaol.

Of course, there is so much more to explore in Ireland.

In Northern Ireland you have Belfast – home to world-class attraction­s including Titanic Belfast and HMS Caroline, a fantastic range of restaurant­s and bars and a fascinatin­g modern street art scene in the city’s vibrant Cathedral Quarter. You can also take in a magnificen­t 360-degree view of the city from Victoria Square.

Outside the city, take a trip to UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Giant’s Causeway. Made up of 40,000 interlocki­ng basalt columns, this geological wonder is the result of an ancient volcanic fissure eruption.

Game of Thrones fans should try one of the amazing tours which include visits to filming locations including Castle Ward aka Winterfell.

Heading west will take you to the Wild Atlantic Way, one of the longest defined coastal routes in the world. Explore charming cities such as Galway, bursting with music and culture.

Why not book a daytrip to the famous Cliffs of Moher or enjoy the breathtaki­ng Aran Islands, the Dingle Peninsula and Blasket Islands of Kerry?

Just one hour from Galway, you’ll find Kylemore Abbey and its Victorian Walled Garden, one of Ireland’s most famous sites. It was built in 1800s by Mitchell Henry MP and remains Ireland’s largest walled garden.
