There is nothing more beautiful than travel!
Good over view 👌
I'm an Irish emigrant watching this
Amazing! We visited Ireland for the first time a couple years ago and had the best time following some of these tips and using Rick Steves' guidebook. Ireland is a magical place.
Great advice, but I have to disagree on the bus service. I took the bus/coach from Dublin to Belfast, to Derry, to Galway, to Dingle, to Cork and back to Dublin making day trips along the way. It was fine. You can snooze and catch up on reading, maybe even meet a nice travel partner as I did on the trip from Galway to Dingle. Bus Eiran were great and sent me schedules etc. It's not as bad as suggested at the beginning of this video.
I didn't have a car.
My wife and I are planning an Irish trip and this vid is extremely informative for the B&B segment when we have a vehicle.Well done.
the place is best avoided

I Love Irish
I'm from Ireland 💚💚💚💚💚💚
I need to go to Ireland now.
I did it three ways and a CIE bus Tour is my bag
The Cliffs have walls now.
Excellent lecture Pat. Hope you have a chance to visit one of my favourite spots in Ireland -- Roundwood House in Mountrath in Co. Laois. We've used all Rick's books during our family vacation in Ireland, Italy, Paris and London.
Прекрасней путешествий быть ничего не может!
The thing about pubs is not really the case any more.They are still pubs,but they are fewer and many are part time operations.Drink driving laws and cheaper shop bought alcohol as well as cafe culture on the rise
Thank u v informative and I'm Irish
The equestrian picture was of showjumping not steeple chasing
40:33 Talking about Skellig Michael before Star Wars made it famous!
very beautiful. thanks.
Great video. Really enjoyed it, learned a lot of new things about my beloved Ireland... some great funny moments too!. You said 'cheers' at the end, though... why not 'Slainte'?! :)
Chips in your card eliminates the need to call your bank ahead of your trip. Finding a better bank eliminates the need to take big ATM withdrawals.
Great video, good information on traveling about in Ireland.
Good video. Rather enjoyed it.
Use your debit card.. best exchange rate
I was expecting an accent. But nice vid none-the-less
Drive! Its not that hard to adjust to driving on the left with the right hand drive. The roundabouts are not that difficult. Don't drive in Dublin, public transportation and walking will get you around.
A lot of this is old info. I wish there was an updated one. No need to call your credit card company anymore.
true about the passports but he does have it wrong , if you are from Northern Ireland you are born a British citizen as part of the UK , you have the choice to hold a Irish passport but you still remain a British citizen unless you renounce it you can have both and be dual
You don't have to renounce it if you don't accept it. Nobody is going to renounce something they never wanted and never agreed to.
It's my greatest dream to visit Ireland.. Nearly all of my ancestors are Irish, Scots Irish and Welsh.. In that order.. With a few Was gonna oddballs thrown in, but what can be odder than the Gaelic-American.? My sister and I planned to go together.. She died before we were able.. I'm not a loudmouthed American.. I am fiercely proud of my heritage.. My sister just knew that if she got there would never want to come back to the US.. We were in love with Ireland before we knew we are Irish.. We learned when she was four and I was six.. If there ever was an argument in favor of inherited memory, we are it..
I hope you get there, it's on my bucket list, best wishes
did you ever go?
No I never did make it and now i'm not in a position to do it..
Robin Conkel-hAnnan hey i hope you get to go.. sorry about your circumstance :(
Good but traditional intro to travelling around ireland. Many very old images -esp around dublin. Some broad statements are actually misleading.
And some dowhright ignorant and pathetic
such as...
Fine video, but at 44:05, why is he saying that is the Westernmost point of Europe, when there is Spain and Portugal?
sergel02 It is just slightly farther west of Portugal. Cabo da Roca (Portugal) is considered the westernmost point in mainland Europe, but Ireland is part of the European continental shelf and was connected to the continent by land during the last glacial period, and it includes points that are further west than Cabo da Roca. Supposedly. I'm no geologist though lol.
So entertaining! :)
that's not a bloated breakfast. here in America B and B they have all these fattening pastries and rolls. it would be nice to have something like this!
What about renting a motorcycle through ireland?
Also I am a Choctaw Indian (card carrying member of the tribe) is there any discounts or benefits for being part of the tribe in Ireland?
Bad idea when travel on the opposite site of the road. Many accident occur for those who have the wrong motoring instincts.
This guy is an Ireland expert? Half penny bridge?? He needs to learn how to pronounce some of the Irish places if he is there so much.
Horrible explanation of the great famine.
