Ireland

Ranked the 11th safest country in the world, Ireland offers something for every kind of traveler from charming inns and castles to rugged mountains and from delicious fare to strong drinks.

From Dublin to Limerick, there’s not only plenty to see, but plenty to eat and Irish locals are quick to dispel any preconceived stereotypes about shamrocks and such. Catch a rugby or football game with a pint in hand, snap photos of Kilkenny, or kiss the stone of Blarney Castle before tucking into some hearty cuisine like Irish stew, seafood pie, black pudding, or the classic soda bread.
