10 considerations for Irish free travel
1. Language English is also commonly used in Ireland, and Gaelic is also taught in schools, but in fact few Irish people still speak it in daily life. Aran island is a very special island that the Irish believe retains the pure Gaelic language there. Irish English is more pronounced towards British English, but it will have some characteristics: fast speaking speed and vague pronunciation. If you feel that there is a problem with understanding, please explain it directly to the other party and please speak slowly.
2. Whisky Scotland and Ireland both claim to be the birthplace of whisky. Irish whisky does not have as strong a peat flavor as Scotch whisky, making it easy to import and use as an ingredient in other alcoholic drinks, such as Irish coffee. The more famous brand is Jameson. You can go to the whisky factory in the city center to learn about its history.
3. Betting in Ireland is legal. Many Irish people participate in betting on dogs and horses. I participated in a horse race betting in the southern area of Dublin near Microsoft and a dog betting in Cork. If you have time, you can use it as a small activity to experience.
4. Fish and chips Fish and chips are a well-known home food in the UK and Ireland. You can try it. The recommended address is a small shop next to Dublin Castle in the center of Dublin. The facade is very small, but you can see the bronze medal, which records many celebrities who have been there, U2...
5. Music Traditional Irish music can be enjoyed in small bars. If you think you like it very much, you can buy a round of Guinness for the band. In Dublin, the most famous music venue is Temple Bar.
6. Outdoor Wicklow around Dublin is a good place for outdoor sports. It has natural grasslands, mountains, forests, and lakes. Every year, people from all over the world come to participate in the Wicklow mountain hiking festival. If you are confident in your physical strength, you can participate in activities such as torch hiking. It is a good experience to finish a day of hiking, take off your boots covered with mountain soil, and drink a cup of hot tea with whiskey.
7. The campus of Trinity College in central Dublin, Guinness Winery, and Phoenix Park are all places worth visiting. I personally also highly recommend Howth, which is about 10 kilometers north of Dublin and can be reached by train from the city center. Most of Ireland's seafood is produced here, especially the salmon. You can try the seafood there.
8. Galway, Moher Cliff, and Arran Island as CNIEFRCN said, it is best to go.
9. Which airlines do you usually choose for air tickets from China to Ireland? Where is it cheaper to buy tickets? There are no direct flights from China to Ireland, and they must transfer at least once. Because some airlines have very long connecting times, such as United Arab Emirates and Turkish Airlines (like when I came here, I bought Turkish Airlines cheaply, and I waited at the airport for nearly five hours early in the morning after 5:00 local time...), In addition, it is generally easier to adjust the time difference when connecting in Europe, so I suggest that you still choose to transfer in Europe. Generally speaking, the ones with better responses are Dutch Airlines and Lufthansa (also known as German Airlines), with moderate prices (It is said that special fares are offered several times a year, but you have to book at least two or three months in advance), and it is relatively comfortable; I don't recommend Air France and British Airways. Air France can easily miss flights or cancel flights at any time (It's not that I discriminate against French people, but from personal experience, I think it's inseparable from the laziness of most French people); British Airways generally has higher prices, and strictly speaking, transit visas are required for connecting flights in the UK (although I know some people have successfully come to Ireland without applying for a British transit visa, no one can tell, right).
To add another word, sometimes, the price on the official website is cheaper than the price on the intermediary website, and sometimes it is expensive, so I suggest you check and compare more.
10. Commonly used in accommodation hotels. Those who are used to international booking can naturally use booking or agoda. Those who are used to using Chinese use Haoqiaowang (I am used to using Chinese). I really like this website for selfish reasons. I also saw my colleague coming back from the UK in my circle of friends and asked her what she recommended to me. Generally speaking, no matter what city, you can find good accommodation with Haoqiaowang under your limited budget.
11. What transportation are there in Ireland?
- Dart, which is the entire length of the Dublin Area Rapid Transit, is a tram within Dublin. Looking across the north and south areas of Dublin- Train is the train system of Ireland, looking across the east, west, north and south of Ireland. - Luas is the tram bus in the Dublin area.
