Ease of arrival
Today there are international flights to a dozen different Irish airports. Ireland is less than two hours from London, Paris or Brussels and just five and a half hours from the east coast of the US. Ferries from six different British and continental ports serve Ireland. Once here, it is difficult to be more than one hundred miles from where you want to be. An extensive road and rail network ensures ready and easy access to your final destination, while flights within Ireland are also available.

You can also chose to see the beauty of Ireland’s rugged coastline or urban centers from the comfort of a chauffeur-driven car or a luxury coach, by helicopter or hot air balloon, or by steam train, executive train or cruise ship.

Ireland is famous for its green landscapes, full of colorful and interesting flora and fauna. The most spectacular of these are the 176km Ring of Kerry circuit in the south west, Co. Wicklow situated near Dublin (better known as the ‘Garden of Ireland’) and the wild landscapes of Connemara in the west. Ireland is a country of major geological interest too, as emphasized by the unusual rock formations of the Giant’s Causeway in the north, the imposing Cliffs of Moher rising 210 meters above the Atlantic Ocean in the west, and the lunar Burren rock landscape in the south west.
