Exploring Ireland's Quick-Planning Guide www.exploringireland.net Quick-Planning Guide Welcome to Exploring Ireland’s Quick-Planning Guide www.exploringireland.net **Note – Your $100 USD Coupon is at the bottom of the guide. Just beginning to plan your Ireland vacation? Slightly confused? A little swamped with information overload? No problem! Sit back, relax and peruse our Quick Planning Guide and you will learn all that you need to arrange your perfect Irish holiday. Well first things first, how do you get to Ireland? www.exploringireland.net Quick-Planning Guide Traveling to Ireland couldn‟t be easier with a wide range of airline connections which offer great value. Dublin and Shannon are Ireland‟s two major airports, and all major flights land at one of these two points. Usually, it is cheaper to fly in and out of Dublin. Vistors from America and Canada can arrive direct whilst guests from Australia and New Zealand are best advised to route through London. Price wars have made flights to Ireland from continental Europe and Britain more affordable than ever. No visas are required for all US, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand and EU residents. You will only need a valid passport. The four major carriers between the USA and Ireland are Aer Lingus, Delta, Continental and US Airways. Whilst Air Canada plies the route between Canada and Ireland. For travel from Britain, Aer Lingus and Ryanair are the best options while there is also the option of taking the ferry; companies that offer the best service are Irish Ferries, P&O and Stena Line. Anytime is a good time to visit Ireland, as it is a year-round destination. The most popular time is summer, from early May until late September, when the weather is fine and warm. Of course there are showers (we need them to water our forty shades of green!), but all in all, it‟s a grand, fresh time. It never gets too hot, rarely exceeding the upper twenties (80 Fahrenheit), so there is no humidity, there really is nowhere like Ireland on a grand summer‟s day. Another great bonus in summer, are the endless days, which at their peak don‟t dwindle until nearly eleven o‟clock at night. It‟s a busy time, with life being injected back into the villages and rural areas after the winter, with loads of people knocking about. In late September and October, prices begin to drop and the autumn is a beautiful time to visit Ireland, with the changing landscape and vivid colours. In addition, the weather is still mild and the crowds have died down and the major attractions are quieter. Things become really quiet in the winter (November – February), the temperatures drop as do the prices. It is dark early and the landscape becomes more desolate but it can also be a great time to visit. Everyone wraps up warm, the fires are lit, the pubs are snug and as a tourist you really have the place to yourself. Some attractions do close or curtail their hours as do some hotels and B&B‟s but there is still plenty to see and there are more than enough places to stay. Spring begins in earnest in March, it is a brilliant time in Ireland, as the countryside re- awakens and everything starts to come alive. Tourists begin to arrive in large numbers again and everything begins to become busy once again. Hosts, tour guides and service www.exploringireland.net Quick-Planning Guide staff are fresh and ready for another season which is kick-started by the ever popular St. Patrick‟s Festival. Ireland has a mild temperate climate due to its proximity to the Atlantic and the existence of the Gulf Stream. The Atlantic has a great moderating effect on the Irish weather, as it absorbs heat in the summer and emits in the winter, making for very consistent weather. If you consider it, Dublin has almost the same latitude as Edmonton in Canada, yet we not near experience the severe Canadian winters, thanks to you Gulf Stream! Summer temperatures generally range from 60ºF/15ºC to 70ºF/20ºC. Spring and Autumn are generally 50ºF/10ºC. Winter is between 40ºF/5ºC and 46ºF/8ºC. (Snow is rare, but showers can occur in winter.) The trick in the “what to wear?” question in Ireland is ….. layers! You often get four seasons in one day, so you need to dispatch and put on, dispatch and put on and so on and on. And bring an umbrella and raincoat, we aren‟t this green for nothing! The first thing you need to decide is whether you want to drive while you are in Ireland. If you do the option for you is our Self Drive Tours of Ireland, if not you have two options - our Escorted Tours or our Coach Tours of Ireland.
