10 nights. Ireland, United Kingdom

Day 1

london (tower bridge),uk

Departure: 16:00

Of all the European capitals, London resonates most profoundly in the minds of travellers. We soak up London before we even realise it exists and when we finally approach the city, it doesn't let us down. There are the red double-deckers, the bobbies and stoic guards at Buckingham, Westminster Abbey, and the chimes of Big Ben, sounding familiar, as we've heard them before. We see these things with a sense of satisfaction. Yet there's plenty to surprise. London isn't quaint. London isn't a museum, though you could spend all your time hopping from one to the next. It's a bustling, urban sprawl, with traffic jams, shops, and a remarkable international population. Visit the many monuments with nearly a millennium's worth of history, from Chaucer's grave to the pub where the captain of the Mayflower had a pint to Piccadilly Circus, one of London’s most snapped sights. But don’t overlook modern London, with its intensely active theatres, international cuisine, political protests, the latest in music and fashion, punks and peers, and everyone in between. In 1777, writer Samuel Johnson said when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life, and the phrase still rings true. There's something different to experience every day in London.

Gateway go Conamara, is cathair chabhsaí ghalánta agus bheoga í Gaillimh, atá suite ar chósta thiar na hÉireann. Le linn an 14ú haois, bhí an baile tábhachtach mar áit trádála faoi riail Anglo-Normannach. Thug trádáil leathan leis an Spáinn blas Spáinneach ar chuid de na seandálaíochtaí atá fágtha i nGaillimh. Agus sin ráite, in ainneoin a stair de thionchar idirnáisiúnta, tá Gaillimh níos Gaelaí ná aon chathair eile san iarthar. Ar a dtugtar "cathair na dTreabh", tá Gaillimh lán de chultúr Éireannach saibhir agus tábhacht staire. Téann an baile idir an abhainn agus an fharraige, lán de theachtaí trádálacha sean, fuinneoga luaidhe aisteacha os cionn dorais chloiche, agus ballaí cloiche aosta a chuireann béim ar shiopaí nua-aimseartha. Is é Cearnóg an Fhómhair bunús an bhaile go deimhin, le leachtanna scaipthe i gcuimhne laochra agus go leor daoine suimiúla ag gabháil thart. Tá Sráid an tSiopa, an príomhshruth, i gcónaí beo le ceol sráide agus le taibheoirí. Téann Sráid an tSiopa thú thart ar Chaisleán na Loingsigh, teach mór cloiche galánta a dátaíonn ón 16ú haois luath. Siúil suas bruach na Coiribe i dtreo Droichead na Bradán. Siúil ar ais tríd na sráideanna cúnga go dtí an tArcaí Spáinneach, an t-aon gheata atá fágtha go dtí an seanbhaile trádála agus iarsma ó na laethanta nuair a bhí trádáil leis an Spáinn ag bláthú agus sherry á thabhairt isteach i gcarracaí móra trádála tríd an arcaí seo. Sa lá atá inniu ann, is baile ollscoile í Gaillimh atá i gcónaí gnóthach le taispeántais agus féilte leanúnacha. Sluaite ag caint i dtithe tábhairne cois abhann, ag baint taitneamh as ceol beo. Sin é bunús fíor Ghaillimh.

Day 8

belfast, northern ireland

Arrival: 07:00 - Departure: 20:00

Belfast, an chathair a bhí tráite ag cathanna tráth, tá a fíor-staid athbhainte aici mar sheod folaithe na hÉireann. Le gach a atracthaíocht agus a cáil nua mar chathair oíche, tá sé ina áit bheoga anois. Is é Halla Cathrach Bhéal Feirste rud nach féidir leat a chailleadh nuair a thugann tú cuairt ar an chathair. Suite ag Cearnóg Dhún na nGall, croílár na cathrach, tá fuinneoga gloine dhaite áille agus murlaí a léiríonn stair Bhéal Feirste sa fhoirgneamh Renaissance seo. Ar na docanna den abhainn, is féidir leat dealbh curiarrach de iasc mór a fheiceáil. Taobh thiar de, tá Titanic Bhéal Feirste. Is ionad taitneamhachta idirghníomhach é Titanic Bhéal Feirste a osclaíodh chun comóradh a dhéanamh ar an 100ú comóradh do bád an long. Tá sé suite i gCeantar Titanic, an forbairt chósta is mó in Eoraip, meascán nua-aimseartha de spás cónaithe, tráchtála, turasóireachta, oideachais agus miondíola a thug ceantar uirbeach nua do Bhéal Feirste. Ceann de na hattrachtaí nach féidir a shéanadh sa chathair ná na murlaí polaitiúla ar Bóthar na Seanchille, tá breis agus 700 acu agus léiríonn siad an t-ama achrannach a bhí ag an chathair. Ach gan dabht, tá Bhéal Feirste ag breathnú ar an todhchaí. Tá bairr agus bialanna galánta go leor sa chathair agus cuirfidh a muintir chroíúil agus cairdiúil grá ionat do Bhéal Feirste.

Day 9

dublin, ireland

Arrival: 07:00 - Departure: 19:00

Dublin has been the backdrop for many novels and it's no surprise given its written tradition dates back to 800 A.D. with The Book of Kells, which is now on display at Trinity College, Ireland's oldest university. The city is the birthplace of many literary figures such as Joyce, Beckett, Yeats, Shawn and Wilde to name but a few. The city's Georgian elegance blends seamlessly with the medieval and modern architecture that gives Dublin its unique character. One can't deny that Dublin is a city of culture; the UNESCO designated Ireland's capital as the city of literature in 2010. Culture enthusiasts are also spoilt for choice when it comes to museums and galleries. From the National Museum of Ireland and the National Library to the National Gallery and the charming Little Museum of Dublin housing the lectern that US president JFK used to address the National Parliament in 1963, there is plenty to take in. Not to forget of course the magnificent Dublin Castle dating back to the 13th century. Aside from its splendid riches, the best thing about this city is its people. Dubliners are friendly, warm, surprisingly outgoing and witty, even more so after a few pints of Guinness. In its over 1000 pubs one makes friends easily. It should be compulsory for tourists to spend some time in a pub as it is one of the most memorable experiences of a visit to Ireland. Dublin is also a young city, it has one of the youngest populations in Europe, around half of its inhabitants are believed to be under the age of 25. This fact has made the city vibrant, dynamic, energetic and ambitious. Dublin is brimming with trendy bars, sophisticated restaurants and lively clubs, the epicentre being the buzzing Temple Bar area. Live music is a religion in Ireland and Dublin is its mecca. The city's live music scene is superb and has given the world a number of global musical superstars from U2 and Westlife to The Script and Sinead O’Connor. Everyone is welcome in this now multicultural city, but be warned, Dublin, like its people, is so charismatic and infectious that you may never want to leave.
