Ireland is a glorious country to visit. I highly recommend that you avoid the over-hyped monuments to Norman English rule, such as St Patricks Cathedral, Powerscourt, and Dublin Castle, and overcrowded tourist traps like the Guinness plant, Blarney Castle and the Ring of Kerry.
The Irish experience is best felt in places like Kilmainham Gaol, a moving remembrance of English oppression with exhibits relating to the Irish fight for independence and the Great Hunger. Cobh has a memorable emigration museum, and exhibits on the Titanic, the Lusitania and the famine. The Hill of Tara and the Rock of Cashel are important to Irish History, as is the Book of Kells at Trinity College. The passage tombs at Newgrange are more impressive than Stonehenge, while the Cliff of Moher and the Causeway Coast are as scenic as anything in Europe. The music and craic in country pubs are also essential to experiencing the island.
