    About this ebook

    The Ireland Traveler's Guide to Make The Most Out of Your Trip.
    When the Romans under Julius Caesar first began their conquest of Great Britain, they looked to the west and saw the dim outlines of another land. From travelers’ tales, they knew it was inhabited by human beings, but they knew nothing about this mysterious tribe or their territory. They believed the island to be hostile in climate, poor in natural resources, and hardly worth conquering. On their maps, they labeled it “Hibernia” after their word hibernus, meaning “wintry.”
    How little those Roman conquerors knew. Because they decided not to cross those 60 miles of choppy water, the small island’s Celtic inhabitants were allowed to continue developing their culture for thousands of years without the interference of a colonial master.
    Today, that mysterious island bears the proud name of Ireland, a name that inspires love, joy, and intense loyalty all over the world – and not just among the Irish and their descendants! As the worldwide popularity of St. Patrick’s day shows, there’s something universally recognizable about Irish culture. Something in its combination of rich history, joyous music, and irrepressible humor seems to appeal to the depths of every human soul.

      Why You Will Fall In Love With Ireland

      When the Romans under Julius Caesar first began their conquest of Great Britain, they looked to the west and saw the dim outlines of another land. From travelers’ tales, they knew it was inhabited by human beings, but they knew nothing about this mysterious tribe or their territory. They believed the island to be hostile in climate, poor in natural resources, and hardly worth conquering. On their maps, they labeled it Hibernia after their word hibernus, meaning wintry.

      How little those Roman conquerors knew. Because they decided not to cross those 60 miles of choppy water, the small island’s Celtic inhabitants were allowed to continue developing their culture for thousands of years without the interference of a colonial master.

      Today, that mysterious island bears the proud name of Ireland, a name that inspires love, joy, and intense loyalty all over the world – and not just among the Irish and their descendants! As the worldwide popularity of St. Patrick’s day shows, there’s something universally recognizable about Irish culture. Something in its combination of rich history, joyous music, and irrepressible humor seems to appeal to the depths of every human soul.

      What is it that makes this island so magical?

      The only way to understand it is to walk Ireland’s hills and forests; to spend time talking with its inhabitants; and to see, taste, touch, and smell the richness of this inimitable corner of the world.

      This book is a guide to doing exactly that. I want to help you know Ireland, not just visit it. If you can experience it properly, this island will enchant you just as it has enchanted thousands

      Chapter 1:

      Planning Your Trip Ahead (Tips, Budget & Things You Must Know)

      An Overview of Ireland's Regions and Counties

      Ireland (like this book) is divided into four sections, or provinces: Leinster, Connacht, Munster, and Ulster. Each of these provinces was once a separate kingdom, but today they have very little political significance. The most important unit of human geography today is the county. Irish people strongly identify with their county, and each one has its own personality, accent, and cultural heritage.

      Leinster (the East)

      Historically, Leinster was thought of as the most wealthy and profitable of the kingdoms, largely because of its huge trading port: Dublin. Dublin still dominates the scene in Leinster, but there are other sites to be seen as well once you get out of the city.

      Connacht (the West)

      Thought to be the home of Ireland’s most powerful druids and enchanters, Connacht still casts its inescapable spell on travelers. Connacht is home to some of the most dramatic landscapes on the island, and its main city – Galway – is considered Ireland’s cultural capital.

      Munster (the South)

      Ancient Celtic epics tell of great bards, singers and poets emerging from the rustic landscapes of southern Ireland. This is still true today, as the southern counties of Cork and Kerry produce some of Ireland’s finest music, and are the best place to hear Irish (Gaelic) spoken as an everyday language.

      Ulster (the North)

      The historic kingdom of Ulster includes not only Northern Ireland (part of the U.K.), but also three counties in the Republic of Ireland. In ancient times, long before Northern Ireland was separated from the rest of the island, Ulster was home to Ireland’s most fearsome warriors.

      Getting Along with the Irish (Hint: This is not that hard!)
