What to do in Ireland?

Enjoy it's natural beauty of course! They don't call it the Emerald Isle for nothing. Ireland's relatively compact size means you're only ever a few hours away from an area of outstanding scenery. From the breathtaking lakes and mountains of The Ring of Kerry, to the unearthly landscape of the Burren in Clare, and the rugged Atlantic coast of Donegal (a surfer's paradise) the list of stunning natural spots is almost endless, and most of them can be reached in a few hours by car from Dublin. The city itself is also home to some beautiful green spaces, like the Phoenix Park, which is one of the largest city parks in Europe and even has its own herd of deer.
