    Celtic Tours World Vacations ♣ 1860 Western Ave. ♣ Albany, NY 12203 ♣ 800-833-4373 ♣ www.celtictours.com Ireland ––– discovering the Emerald Isle! Ireland is a wonderfully warm and welcoming country. No matter where you travel, you will find Irish hospitality in every part of the country. From the Giants Causeway to the Dingle Peninsula to the bustling city of Dublin, the friendliest of islands begins to work its magic the moment you arrive. Ireland, at 172 miles long and 302 miles wide, has many things to see and do. With unspoiled coastlines, spectacular scenery, a rich culture, and warm and welcoming people, you will soon find that you’ve come home again to Ireland! The Emerald Isle is home to two countries; the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. However, it is seamless to the traveler, as there are no longer any borders, but there are two currencies, with the Euro in the Republic and British Pound Sterling in the north. Choosing a self-drive vacation gives you the opportunity to create the perfect itinerary to suit your needs and what you want in your Ireland vacation. A self-drive vacation is independent, and before planning, it is a good idea to do some research on Ireland to determine what you want to see and do. Here is a brief outline of the regions of Ireland, which may help you in determining what route is best for you. We’ve also created a few sample itineraries to help you with your vacation planning. You should also review Celtic Tours brochure and tours online featuring coach tours that will give you an idea on what to see and how far you should drive in a day for comfort.
