Ireland is not just a destination, it's a feeling.
Sure, there’s incredible history here, staggeringly beautiful landscapes, and buzzing towns and villages, but what makes a trip to the island of Ireland so special is the people you meet along the way. Ireland is famous for its Céad Míle Fáilte – 100,000 welcomes… From the chat at the bar in cozy pubs, to the hellos you’ll get on walking trails around the island, friendliness is woven into the fabric of our culture. It’s time to let Ireland and its people fill your heart.

It’s all about the people…
The Irish are famous for being among the friendliest people in the world. And there’s a good reason for that. As well as a strong sense of community and rich cultural life that’s played out in celebrations of literature, dance, music and theater, we are people who don’t take themselves too seriously, which means we’re great fun to be around. You’ll feel it in the sharp wit of the locals of Belfast and Dublin, the welcoming vibes that infuse our pubs, and our laidback way of life. Ireland’s spirit is all about the people, and they'll make your time on the island one to remember.
