Top 10 Tourist Attractions in Ireland

  1. Walking around Grafton Street - So much more than a shopping street, Grafton Street is alive with buskers, flower-sellers, and performance artists. One will also find countless places to stop off and simply watch the world meander by. Café culture has taken off in the capital, and on a sunny day, it’s the perfect way to spend an afternoon and experience friendly, chatty service no matter where you go while being entertained.
  2. Drive around the Ring of Kerry – Easily Ireland's most scenic route, the Ring of Kerry (Iveragh Peninsula) is a journey with many jaw-dropping Atlantic Ocean views, stunning islands to visit, wild sweeping mountains, and many picturesque villages. This area boasts a range of outdoor pursuits including golf, water sports on pristine beaches, cycling, walking, horse-riding, and terrific freshwater fishing and deep-sea angling. For history enthusiasts, there are Ogham Stones, Iron Age forts, and ancient monasteries, all set against a canvas of striking landscapes.
  3.

The establishment is open seven days of the week and all-year round except on Christmas Eve, Christmas day and St. Stephen’s Day.
  4. Shop till you drop at the English Market - If one loves markets, the English Market in Cork is the perfect place for its organic products and artisan foods including chocolates and cakes, herbs and spices, cheese, meats and fruits and vegetables.

Food on the Plate

Irish cuisine is the style of cooking that originated from Ireland, an island in the North Atlantic; or was developed by the Irish people. It has evolved from centuries of social and political change, and the mixing of the different cultures in Ireland, predominantly the English and Irish. The cuisine is founded upon the crops and animals farmed in its temperate climate.

Irish food one must try includes:
  • Soda Bread – Every family in Ireland has its own recipe for soda bread, however, the basic ingredients don’t change (bicarbonate of soda and buttermilk form the raising agent, which is mixed in with flour) and nor does the way it’s eaten: sliced and spread liberally with butter.
  • Irish Stew - Traditionally made with mutton, onions and potatoes and carrots with pearl barley, a spoonful of roux or sliced potatoes, stock and herbs – such as thyme, parsley and bay leaves.
  • Colcannon & Champ – Can be vegetarian dishes, Colcannon is a classic, comforting mash of potatoes, cabbage (or kale) and butter (or cream), flavoured with spring onions. Champ is a similar, mashed potato favourite, flavoured with spring onions, milk and butter.
  • Carrageen Moss Pudding – This traditional Irish pudding is made using Chondrus crispus, a species of red seaweed as a gelling agent, which can be combined with sugar, egg and vanilla extract to create a light, fluffy dessert, served chilled.
  • Irish cream - It is a cream liqueur based on Irish whiskey, cream and other flavours. It typically has an ABV (alcohol by volume) level of 15 to 20% and is served on its own or in mixed drinks, most commonly Irish coffee. Normally had as a post dinner digestive.
