There are a number of locations every visitor to Ireland should see. So if you are visiting Ireland, it is important to plan ahead. With so much to see, it's best to have a plan in place before traveling. The best way to enjoy your visit to Ireland is to make sure that you have as much time possible to explore. Here are some of what to see when you visit Ireland.

The Shrine of Saint Valentine

Hidden in a beautiful church with a drab, grey exterior are the remains of Valentinus, patron saint of love. The Shrine to St Valentine lies on the right hand side of the main entrance of the Whitefriar Street Carmelite Church.

The Book of Kells

The most richly decorated medieval manuscript on the planet, The Book of Kells remains one of Ireland’s most popular attractions. Housed at Trinity College in Dublin, people willingly stand in long queues just to glimpse a portion of this masterpiece. The Book of Kells is named for the town where it was discovered in Kells, a town in County Meath, northeast of Dublin.

The Guinness Storehouse

Nicknamed the ‘Disneyland of Beer’, the Guinness Storehouse is the visitor center for the most famous brewery in the world. Founded by Arthur Guinness at the ramshackle site of the old St. James Gate Guinness Brewery in 1759, it has become one of the most well known and prosperous corporations in Dublin, Ireland. The company is widely recognized for its production of a distinctive dark stout with a thick, creamy head.

The Ring of Kerry

The Ring of Kerry is a hugely popular road route through the southwest of Ireland that encompasses some of Ireland’s best scenery and heritage. Beginning in the town of Killarney, the Ring of Kerry comprises three roads — the N70, the N71, and the R562 — that together form a circuitous route through the Iveragh Peninsula. It's worth travelling simply for its stunning views, the Ring of Kerry also offers many visitor attractions that includes: Killarney National Park, Kenmare and the Kenmare Lace and Design Centre, Waterville, Lough Leane, The Gap of Dunloe, Caherciveen, Kerry Bog Village, Derrynane House, The Skelligs and many more.
