Places to visit

Ireland, fondly known as the “Emerald Isle,” offers a warm welcome and an abundance of culture. With its friendly people, captivating history, and breathtaking landscapes, this is truly the “land of saints and scholars,” boasting more Nobel Prize winners in literature per capita than any other nation. Dublin, the capital city, earned the title of UNESCO City of Literature in 2010.
