If you are ready to travel there and let yourself absorb the experience, you will have a lot to tell for the next weeks. Just pack your stuff, get the needed visa (if you need one) and set out on an amazing adventure!
The first thing you might want to check out is the historic sight of Bru na Boinne. It is sprinkled with monuments from times long forgotten. There are three of them, which are considered the largest: Newgrange, Knowth and Dowth. You can only access the first two through the modern visitor centre. Needless to say, it is best to call to Ireland, be there early and make your plans for at least half a day. It is better to experience the most of the tour.
Another sight definitely to be seen is The Burren. It basically is wedged between the Aran Islands and the city of Galway, known for its universities. It is a plateau, marked by lonely desolation, nothing peculiar to see there. But the abundance of ancient monuments and extremely strange rock formations is undeniable. By driving near Galway Bay, you can enhance the experience and get the most out of your visit.
The Hill of Tara should be one of your next stops. Many years ago, the High Kings of Ireland used to be seated there. Nowadays, it's a compilation of grand earthworks, most of them covered with grass. There is also a church up there, offering a great show for both eyes and ears. I am sure you will understand why it was fit for kings.
And, of course, another place to be is the famous Dublin City. With the first glance, you will see, that it's smaller than what people usually expect to see. However, it is rich of culture and history. As well as pubs.
A great country to visit, Ireland can offer bits of everything. Lots of cultural sites, natural ones and beautiful cities are scattered around. You just have to take the time and visit!
