Tourist Highlights to See and Tips for Visiting Ireland
The Republic of Ireland is an independent country and not part of the United Kingdom, but six counties in Northern Ireland are part of the U.K.
The Irish coastline is extensive with quaint harbors and seaside resorts with stunning beauty inland, and a great cultural experience for visitors.
The west coast of Ireland, Lahinch and Donegal Bay in particular, have popular surfing beaches, being fully exposed to the Atlantic Ocean. Donegal Bay is shaped like a funnel and catches west/south-west Atlantic winds, creating good surf, especially in winter.
Since just before the year 2010, Bundoran has hosted the European championships for surfing. Scuba diving is increasingly popular in Ireland with clear waters and large populations of sea life, particularly along the western seaboard. There are also many shipwrecks along the coast of Ireland, with some of the best wreck dives being in Malin Head and off the County Cork coast.
With thousands of lakes, over 14,000 kilometres of fish bearing rivers and over 3,700 kilometres of coastline, Ireland is a popular angling destination.
The temperate Irish climate is suited to sport angling. While salmon and trout fishing remain popular with anglers, salmon fishing in particular received a boost in 2006 with the closing of the salmon driftnet fishery.
Dublin is the most heavily touristed region and home to several of the most popular attractions such as the Guinness Storehouse and Book of Kells.
The west and south west, which includes the Lakes of Killarney, the Dingle peninsula in County Kerry and Connemara and the Aran Islands in County Galway, are also popular tourist destinations. Take a road trip around the famous Ring of Kerry. Which exposes beautiful countryside views.
Achill Island lies off the coast of County Mayo and is Ireland's largest island. It is a popular tourist destination for surfing and contains 5 Blue Flag beaches and Croaghaun, one of the worlds highest sea cliffs. Stately homes built in the 17th and 18th centuries have been converted into hotels, such as Ashford Castle, Castle Leslie and Dromoland Castle.
Ireland is a country made for road trips.
Take a drive from Dublin Airport in your rental car down to the West Cork Coast and see the beautiful 19th century mansions, or experience the sunny harbour town of Kinsale, and then take your time to do the Wild Atlantic Way road trip, from there with deliberate stops on the route to take it all in, finally ending up in Mailin Head, Ireland's northern-most point.
To finalise your trip, add the Causeway route in Northern Ireland, and then to Belfast as your departure point, either by Ferry or a flight from Belfast International Airport.

Driving in Ireland
Driving and road rules in Ireland are similar to those of the United Kingdom - e.g. drive on the left and yield to the right on roundabout.
The most noticeable difference is the fact that distances are displayed in kilometres and speed limits in kilometres per hour (km/h) in the Republic of Ireland. This can be confusing to anyone travelling across the border from Northern Ireland, which, like Britain, uses miles and miles per hour.

- The legal blood-alcohol limit is low, so it may be best to abstain.
- It is perfectly legal to temporarily use the hard shoulder to allow a faster moving vehicle overtake you, but remember that this manouvre is not allowed on a motorway.
- Drivers often 'thank' each other by flashing their hazard lights or waving - this is purely a convention.
- Road signs in the Republic are nominally bilingual, with place names displayed in Irish in italic font, with the corresponding English name in capitals immediately below.
- Lesser roads, are, in many parts, poorly signposted, the only indication of what route to take often being a finger-sign at the junction itself. The road surfaces can be very poor on the lesser used R- & L- numbered routes.
- Driving on regional and local roads in Ireland requires etiquette, courtesy and nerves of steel. Roads are generally narrow with little to no shoulder or room for error.
- Sight lines can be limited or non-existent until you are partway into the road. Caution should be taken when entering onto the roadway as well as when driving along it, with the understanding that around the next turn may be another motorist partway into the road
- This is especially true in rural areas. Parking along the road, farm animals, as well as large lorries or machinery may also appear around the bend and be the cause for quick thinking or braking. It is not unusual for oncoming cars to navigate to a wide spot in the road to pass each other.
- On the other hand, when driving slower than following cars, it is common for drivers to allow others to pass or signal if the way is clear.
- Calculating driving time can be slower than expectations, due to the large increase in motorists and road conditions/hazards.
