 Go to Ireland
 From the Rick Steves' series. Though a relatively small island, Ireland has had a disproportionately large impact on the rest of the world. And today, it enjoys a renaissance as its Celtic Tiger economy attracts expatriate Irish and new foreign investment. More than 40 percent of the Irish population is under 25 years old, leading many high-tech and pharmaceutical firms to take advantage of this young, well-educated, English-speaking labor force. In terms of Ireland's landscape, the gentle rainfall, called "soft weather" by the locals, really does create 40 shades of green and quite a few rainbows as well. Ancient moss-covered ring forts crouch in lush valleys, while stone-strewn monastic ruins and lone castle turrets brave the wind on nearby hilltops. Charming fishing villages dot the coast near rugged, wave-battered cliffs. Slow down to contemplate the checkerboard patterns created by the rock walls outlining the many fields. In Rick Steves' Ireland, you'll find in-depth Rick-tested information on trip planning, the best sights, hotels, restaurants, tourist offices, transportation, telephones, festivals and holidays, mail and e-mail, weather, survival phrases, easy-to-follow maps, and great self-guided neighborhood and museum walksÉ Dublin Sights Near Dublin: Newgrange, Trim, Glendalough and the Wicklow Mountains Southeast Ireland: Kilkenny, Rock of Cashel, Waterford, County Wexford South Ireland: Kinsale, Cobh Ring of Kerry: Kenmare Dingle Peninsula: Dingle Town, Dingle Peninsula Circular Tour, Blasket Islands, Tralee Galway Sights Near Galway: County Clare and the Burren, Aran Islands, Connemara Northern Ireland: Belfast, Antrim Coast and Portrush, Derry Ireland Past and Present: Irish History, Irish Art, Irish Language, Irish-Yankee Vocabulary  266 pages - 4" x 7" - 2008 editionRegularly: $19.95 Now: $15.96 Save $3.99 (20%)
