Looking for a lucky clover? You're in the right place. In this land where legends live large, lucky moments are tucked into every beautiful day of the trip. Go where luminous lakes spread out over verdant green hills and valleys, where castles are as common as pubs and the spoken word is like a song. Go where the linens are snowy crisp, the crystal sparkles, literature and music have thrived for centuries, and everywhere you feel the Irish spirit.

Go where the Vikings founded a city a thousand years ago. Dublin with its historical and cultural treasures still exudes the charms of the eighteenth century. And Killarney, surrounded by idyllic lakes, mountains, islands and waterfalls, is a wondrous town you will never forget.
