Synopsis

This guide includes listings of all the hostels, official and independent, throughout Ireland, as well as accommodation in all price ranges. It gives details of pubs and places to eat, essential tips for ramblers and cyclists and details of local trains, buses and ferries - how to use them, how to save money. It covers the Irish music scene, with the best pubs and clubs at which to listen and join in. Ireland's popular festivals are given some space. The book also offers coverage of Irish history and monuments - dozens of small towns and villages throughout the country, North and South, as well as details on Dublin, Belfast, Galway and the other cities. There's information on remote Ireland too, from hiking in the Mountains of Mourne to romantic escapes on the islands off the wild Atlantic coast and exploring the ancient "Gaeltacht" regions.
