Dublin City – is situated on the western shore of the Irish Sea and has become one of Europe’s trendiest cities as evident in their elegant shops, sophisticated hotels, diverse restaurants and art galleries. Dubliners are known for their lively nightlife most of which takes place in Temple Bar, a hyper trendy neighborhood. Of course, there is so much of the “old” Dublin to enjoy - Dublin Castle, Trinity College, Guinness Brewery, Christ Church Cathedral and so much more. Grafton Street is where all the shopping takes place from moderate to luxury.
 Exploring ancient Newgrange: Poised atop a low hill north of the River Boyne, Newgrange is the centerpiece of a megalithic cemetery dating back 5,000 years. The massive mound and passage tomb were constructed, it seems, as a communal vault to house cremated remains. The tomb's passage is so perfectly aligned with the solstice sun that the central chamber, deep within the mound, is illuminated for several days at the winter solstice.
Kilkenny – is a medieval city dominated by both a spectacular Norman castle built on the River Nore and Saint Canice's Cathedral. It is a city of narrow streets full of history and stories - a city of cathedrals, churches, music, good food, lovely shops, culture, arts, sports and hospitality.
Wicklow Mountains Strolling through an Irish Garden: In County Wicklow, Powerscourt Gardens is set amid the natural splendor of the Wicklow Hills just outside of Dublin. The sprawling, manicured gardens and the wild beauty of the Powerscourt waterfall make this a great day's outing, and a respite from the noise and congestion of the city.
Wandering through Glendalough: Nestled in "the glen of the two lakes," this atmospheric monastic settlement was founded in the 6th century by St. Kevin, who was looking for seclusion and certainly found it here. The setting is endlessly scenic, with lakes and thick forests surrounding it. Although quite remote, Glendalough suffered numerous assaults from the Vikings and English forces, and eventually faded away. Today its stone ruins collude with the countryside to create one of the loveliest spots in Ireland.
