Ireland is a great destination for adventure travel!

Mountains in Ireland come in many shapes and sizes, but they all come beautifully.

✨ The Mourne Mountains boast a host of heavenly hikes. The Wicklow and Kerry Ways traverse stunning mountainscapes with plenty of calmer stretches. Walks and hikes in these verdant surroundings are dealt a dash of color, thanks to the area's mythical heritage. For every step you take, a fairy, a warrior, a banshee, or a ghost has taken it before you.

✨ Keep it quirky with bog walks in the likes of Tipperary, Laois, Offaly, and Connemara. They are prettily planned with wooden walkways to keep you away from the stickiest terrain. You may even come across a few castles...

✨ For something a little less muddy, pick a canal and walk its banks under cover of leafy canopies.

Where would you go exploring first?

Small Irish villages shouldn’t be missed if you’re looking for authentic local culture and connections...

Ireland has several distinct regional cultures rather than a single national one; moreover, the daily lives of city dwellers are, in some ways, much different from those living in the countryside.

For example, Dublin is one of Europe’s most cosmopolitan cities, whereas the Blasket Islands of Di**le Bay, off Ireland’s southwestern coast, seems almost a throwback to earlier centuries.

The Irish maintain a vibrant and lively folk culture. Many engage in a variety of craft-based industries, producing items such as glass, ceramics, ironwork, wood-turning, linens, embroidery, and knitwear.

The Irish pub serves as a focal point for many small villages and urban neighborhoods, a place where the great Irish passion for conversation, stories, and jokes comes to life.

Solo travel is a great way to connect with yourself and nature...

From lush glens and magical canal banks, to daredevil cliff paths, and quaint city quarter, Ireland has got you covered for walks and hikes.

Being an island, Ireland naturally offers unique opportunities for coastal walks. The Wild Atlantic Way and Causeway Coast are stand-out locations. Still, don't overlook the likes of the stunning Beara, Di**le, and Inishowen Peninsulas – each nicely varied with mountainous paths for adventurous souls, as well as gentler terrain.

There's also the Copper Coast in the southeast, a breathtaking shoreline of cliffs, coves, and sea stacks, named after the mining industry that once prospered there. Special mention, too, for the hilly routes around Achill Island, County Mayo.

If you want to get a little lost to find yourself, we'll help you do it with a plan 😉 Drop a ✈️ in the comments and we'll reach out to help you start putting together your adventure.

Not a fan of going off the beaten path... but still want to experience Ireland in a fun way?

A historical walking tour is a must for a city like Dublin that wears on its sleeve a great deal of history, spanning from the times of Viking settlement to modern days.

🍀 Combine education with recreation on the entertaining crawl through Dublin's pubs that have inspired great Irish writers. A walking tour is an excellent introduction to Dublin's rich literary heritage with a chance to enjoy a few pints along the way.

🍀 Pedal your way around Dublin on a guided bike tour to feel the city's energy and unique atmosphere. See its excellent sights while stopping at some of them for a bit of rest, watching the surroundings, and learning much about the city's history.

Who doesn't want to add a little magic to their trip?

Visiting the Dolmans is sure to add a touch of wonder to your next trip to Ireland.

There are about 190 dolmens in Ireland, and they are Ireland's most recognizable type of megalithic monument.

Dolmens are known by many different names: cromlechs, Giants Graves, Diarmuid and Grainne's Beds, and stone tables. Dolmens generally have an entrance feature, the 'portal,' although a blocking stone often closes this.

The most characteristic feature is a massive roof stone, weighing tons and inclined at an angle with the highest part over the entrance.

Portal dolmens are known as Irish mythological stories and folklore. Most dolmens are covered with mounds of stone, but little remains of these cairns at most sites. The impressive structures we see today are like the skeletons of these monuments.

Could you use a long weekend getaway made for eating, shopping, and reconnecting with friends?

Then it's time to hit the east coast of Ireland.

Due to its strategic position and fertile land, the east coast bore the brunt of Ireland's colonization. Many of the area's country houses have turned into beautiful hotels.

Drinking here means traditional pubs, which means good Guinness. Fresh, local produce is also what distinguishes this area's many fine restaurants, from Carlingford Lough shellfish, through artisan cheeses, to Wicklow lamb and venison.

A quick stopover on the Emerald Isle is amply rewarding. Architecture enthusiasts will fall for Dublin's rows of magnificently preserved Georgian homes, bookworms will get lost in the literary heritage, and shopping buffs will be pleased to discover that Ireland is a treasure trove of artisan, handmade, and heritage products.

Where are my golfers at? 🏌️‍♀️

Ireland is a golfer’s paradise, with world-class courses in some spectacular places. With over 300 golf clubs and a selection of exceptional championship courses in unusual locations.

Every year over 240,000 from all over the world come to experience these impressive but unforgiving fairways.

Most of Ireland’s trails are open all year round. However, classes are in the best condition, and the weather is most suitable for golfing from April to October.

In summer, daylight hours can stretch up to 10 pm, so two rounds of lazy lunch can easily fit into a day.

Where is the most beautiful place you've gotten to hit the green?

For decades, the pub has been a center for cultural gatherings in Ireland.

In fact, Irish pubs have existed for roughly a millennium.

It is a social hotspot where people from all walks of life come to gather. In addition to the casual social atmosphere, hearty food and drink, sports, and traditional Irish music are hallmarks of pub culture.

The menu is usually regular and straightforward, featuring classic Irish dishes.

Drinks include a variety of spirits and beers on tap with televisions showing games such as football or hurling.

A gorgeously restored Baroque castle, Halič Castle is worth exploring during your next getaway to Slovakia.

The original castle was first mentioned in records in 1450 and had a long history of sieges and aristocratic occupation.

Halič Castle recently reopened its doors in 2016 after ten years of careful reconstruction and now serves as a luxury historical hotel where guests and visitors can discover how Slovak aristocracy lived.

A lot of people believe the blue-and-white buildings are representative of Greek architecture, but this trend is much more common in the Cycladic Islands than anywhere else.

Some believe it pertains to the superstition that blue wards off evil.

Another possibility is that it came through orders of Ioannis Metaxas, former military general, and dictator.

In the 1930s, Metaxas forced the use of lime, a local product with anti-bacterial properties, to whitewash the buildings in the hopes of fighting the epidemics that were rampant in the islands.

The use of lime had two significant advantages, stopping infections and providing insulation from the sun, which prevented the houses from getting too warm.

When you travel to South Africa, you'll probably notice biltong as a popular menu item, especially as an appetizer or snack.

The practice of drying meat has been around for centuries, and its history can be traced to many different cultures. Biltong, specific to South Africa, was first created by the local indigenous tribes over 400 years ago.

The traditional South African recipe includes creating a rub of rock salt, pepper, coarsely ground coriander, and vinegar. The meat is then air-dried and cut into thin slices and ready to be enjoyed.

Have you ever tried Biltong yourself?

If not, let's start planning your next South African adventure!

Famous for its colorful bungalows on the beach, the town is a picturesque destination. Situated in the South Peninsula, Muizenberg is known for its laid-back lifestyle centered around the ocean.

The main attraction in Muizenberg is undoubtedly its long, sandy beach, which stretches for miles around the False Bay coastline.

At Surfer’s Corner, the small waves and gentle swell of the ocean provide the perfect conditions for learning to surf!
