Hotels Our detailed reviews represent the best accommodations in Ireland, in all price ranges. From five-star luxury hotels to a family-run bed-and-breakfast, we’ll tell you what to expect in terms of price and quality through extensive coverage of hotels and their surrounding neighborhoods, exact prices of double-occupancy rooms (including breakfast), plus pictures of hotel facilities and guestrooms. Restaurants If you want to experience the best that Ireland has to offer, pay particular attention to our outstanding restaurant coverage that will help you choose from the thousands of local eateries that cater to every budget and dining experience. From affordable, and infamous pubs to places where you can splurge on a romantic dinner–like The Presidents' Restaurant in Mallow, Co. Cork–you’ll find it in see it Ireland. Each review covers house signature dishes, ambiance, ACTUAL prices for a two-course lunch and a three-course dinner (for two people), hours of operation, and what transportation will get you there. The Sights Whether you explore James Joyce's old haunts in Dublin, watch horse racing in Kildare-which has the foremost racetrack in the country, kiss The Blarney Stone at Ireland's most famous castle or take a guided walking tour of Belfast's Old Town, see it Ireland will take you there. Accessibly written to help you navigate throughout the country without missing a thing, each attraction includes exact admission prices, what galleries and museums not to miss, and where to stop for quick bites and refreshing drinks along the way. Sights are also rated for their “value”, “walkability”, “historic and cultural interest”, plus we suggest fantastic “photo stops” and entertaining and age-appropriate “kid-friendly” attractions throughout the book. What to Do? Our shopping walks will lead you to cutting-edge fashions to fit all budgets, from hip streetwear to expensive fashions for your feet. But, Ireland has much more to offer than just sight-seeing and shopping. Fodor’s see it Ireland provides insider information on classical, theatrical, and cinematic performances, Ireland's music scene (traditional Irish music to underground youth centres), nightlife, spectator and activity sports, and festivals and events. Atlas and Maps Detailed neighborhood maps are incorporated throughout the book to help you navigate on historic walks, shopping tours, or to find a restaurant. Plus, a 16-page atlas details each road and path with highlights of important landmarks, parks, metro stations, and car parking areas.
