"Berlitz Handbook Ireland is the ultimate practical, inspirational guide
to this fascinating destination, with 304 pages combining authoritative
narrative detail and stunning color photography. What sets the guide
apart is the illuminating Unique Experiences section, packed full of
practical advice on how to make the most of all the opportunities unique
to Ireland - from exploring the country's ancient Celtic sites and
taking part in Dublin's Bloomsday celebrations, to enjoying traditional
music in a pub.
The guide starts with a rundown of Ireland's Top 25
Attractions, ranging from the Giant's Causeway to the view from the
Guinness Storehouse in Dublin. In the Trip Planner you'll find
itineraries outlining how best to maximise your time on the Emerald
Isle.
The Places Section tackles each of Ireland's regions in turn -
starting with the delightful capital city of Dublin and taking in the
pretty southeastern areas of Kilkenny and Wexford; the dramatic
landscapes of County Kerry and County Cork in the west; the wilds of
Donegal; and the vibrant city of Belfast in Northern Ireland. Each
chapter is color-coded for easy reference, and features everything
you'll need to know about the sights and attractions in the area as well
as maps to help you get around and carefully chosen listings of the
best places to sleep, eat, drink, and get active. The Places section is
interspersed with fully mapped tours, suggesting walks including around
the Georgian architecture of Stephen's Square in Dublin and the
university district of Queen's Quarter in Belfast, as well as dramatic
driving tours through the Burren and Bantry Bay in Co.Cork, and Cultural
Spreads that give a striking insight into an element of Ireland's
culture, from the St Patrick trail to old fortifications and summer
festivals.
Further practical advice is provided in a chapter
dedicated to accommodations, transportation, health and safety, money
and budgeting, responsible travel, and family holidays. The Setting the
Scene chapter is devoted to Ireland's historical and cultural
background, plus information on the country's cuisine." Check Our Catalog
