Ireland is a fascinating, and often overlooked, country.  It has a rich history, and some beautiful scenery.  The culture of Ireland is unique, and the people are very welcoming and eager to share with visitors.   

One of the best bonuses to visiting Ireland, however, is that the rest of Europe is not very far away.  You could easily purchase an Ireland travel package that includes everything you need for your stay in Ireland, then book some trips to mainland Europe so that you can take in several new places in one trip, and have a truly unforgettable vacation.  If you don't want to book the other flights or accommodation yourself, ask your travel agent, they will be more than willing to offer some advice.
