L'Île d'Émeraude — 40 nuances de vert le long des côtes sauvages de l'Atlantique, des forts de pierre anciens, des tourbières cachant des corps du Bronze, et des sessions de pub où la musique traditionnelle coule aussi librement que la Guinness.

Guide de voyage
Ireland (Irish: Éire), also known as the Republic of Ireland (Irish: Poblacht na hÉireann), has a rich culture that, along with its people, has been exported around the world. Some Irish history has been very dark indeed, but it remains a land of poets, story-tellers, and musicians, with marvellous scenery, an advanced knowledge economy, first-rate infrastructure, and leading industries, with a high gross domestic product and standard of living. Ireland has historically been referred to as ‘The Land of Saints and Scholars’, reflecting its long standing religious affinities as well as its many contributions to the fields of poetry and literature. Gaelic culture is alive and well; one way to experience it is to go to a pub which has a traditional music session on. The Irish language has declined and English is now the most common language, though there are still certain areas where Irish is frequently spoken. It can be worth your while to dig a little deeper before visiting Ireland to discover something about the older world that lies beneath. It is still living, though not always visible.

Meilleure période
Mai-septembre offre le temps le plus fiable. Juin-août est la période la plus chaude pour la Wild Atlantic Way. L'automne (septembre-octobre) offre de belles couleurs. La Saint-Patrick (17 mars) est un point fort culturel malgré un temps incertain.
Visa
Les citoyens de l'UE/EEE entrent librement. Les ressortissants américains, canadiens, australiens et la plupart des nationalités occidentales reçoivent 90 jours sans visa. Remarque : l'Irlande ne fait PAS partie de l'espace Schengen — un visa britannique ou irlandais est requis séparément.
