Explore the beautiful green countryside of Ireland and the multiple cities accessible by train from Dublin airport with round-trip tickets as low as €50. Ireland weekend breaks are a fantastic option for those searching for an affordable getaway.

2. County Cork

   The tranquil waters of Lough Hyne lake are located in the far southwest corner of Ireland. Paddle in a kayak and observe the families of otters, kingfisher crabs, and the magic of the bioluminescent urchins lighting up the water beneath you.

Unique Foodie Experiences in Ireland

Ireland may be known for its fine selection of whiskey and ale, but the blossoming gastronomy scene is increasingly drawing visitors. With the unparalleled ambience of the Irish countryside and local access to fresh ingredients, a wealth of unique places await your exploration.

• 1. The English Market, Cork

  Known for being one of the best markets in the UK and Ireland, foodies will find everything here, from grass-fed beef to pork spare ribs. With over 90 varieties of bread loaves and famous farmhouse cheeses, it’s easy to see why even the Queen herself made a visit to The English Market.

• 2. Burren Food Trail

  Located in the Southwest of Ireland, the region of Burren is known for its rock formations, cliffs, and caves. Local food producers gather weekly to share unique food and drink experiences with food-loving visitors. Test your beer-palate with a local master brewer, or sample the local Burren cheeses in an ancient cave.

• 3. The Winding Stair, Dublin

  This aptly named quaint restaurant overlooking Ha'penny Bridge offers an eclectic menu that leaves locals raving. Traverse the winding staircase just above a small bookshop and enjoy the river view.
