Frommer's Ireland

About this book

Frommer's books aren't written by A.I. like so many of the no-name brands you'll see in online bookstores. Nor are they penned by travel writers who simply pop in briefly to a destination and then consider the job done. We use seasoned, locally-based journalists like Yvonne Gordon, a leading Emerald Isle expert and proud Irishwoman. With her guidance, you'll go to many places only locals know, and you'll skip the crowds when seeing Ireland's iconic sights. With helpful advice and honest recommendations from Frommer's, you'll climb the stones of the Giant's Causeway; marvel at the ancient ruins of the Burren, Newgrange, and the Hill of Tara; learn about the sobering history of The Troubles from former combatants in Belfast and Derry; taste the isle's best whiskeys on distillery tours; and enjoy authentic music sessions at pubs across Ireland.Frommer's Ireland is: Completely updated annually and printed in large, easy-to-read type Packed with colorful photos and helpful maps, including a full-color fold-out map Precise about pricing, with Euro and British Pound (for Northern Ireland) amounts listed for every attraction, restaurant, hotel, nightspot and shop in the guide--so there aren't any nasty surprises Insightful about the culture and history of Ireland, so you'll better understand the places you visit Filled with no-holds-barred reviews, which will introduce you to the country's most authentic lodgings (B&B's, castles, historic hotels), eateries, museums, historic sights and natural attractions.
