IRELAND

The following are the heritage sites, grouped into recommended gateway cities. This may help in planning on the logistics (travel and accommodation) of your journey.


DUBLIN (DUB)

Dublin, Ireland’s storied capital, is a charismatic blend of Viking history, literary prestige, and modern vitality. The city remains a global cultural hub, famously designated a UNESCO City of Literature and home to the 9th-century Book of Kells at Trinity College. Visitors can explore the historic Guinness Storehouse, stroll through the busker-filled Grafton Street, or experience the spirited atmosphere of Temple Bar. From the medieval majesty of St. Patrick’s Cathedral to the revitalized Docklands and the expansive greenery of Phoenix Park, Dublin’s warmth and “craic” offer an authentically welcoming European escape.


KERRY (KIR)

County Kerry, known as “The Kingdom,” is Ireland’s crown jewel of natural beauty and Gaelic tradition. Located in the southwest, this rugged coastal region is anchored by the vibrant hub of Killarney and the county town of Tralee. Visitors are captivated by the Ring of Kerry’s dramatic cliffs and the mist-shrouded peaks of Killarney National Park. From the ancient beehive huts of UNESCO-listed Sceilg Mhichíl to the lively folk sessions in Dingle, Kerry offers an authentic Irish soul. In 2026, the region pulses with festive energy during the legendary Puck Fair and the world-famous Rose of Tralee festival.
