7:58 PM LOCAL TIMEIreland is a windswept .island in northwest Europe with a landscape that ranges from wind-sculpted coastlines and peat bogs to rolling pastures and line-of-sight mountain peaks. The nation’s cultural heart beats strongest in its capital, Dublin, where centuries of literature, lively pubs, and Georgian architecture dominate; outside the city, you’ll find ancient castles, terraced villages, and regional cuisines. Galway and the Connemara coastline epitomize wild, Gaelic-speaking west; the southwest star—the Cliffs of Moher—revels in steep sea cliffs and visitor trails. Visitors come for outdoor activities — walking, cycling, surfing — and to immerse themselves in Ireland’s unique Gaelic heritage and welcoming villages.
