Five Things You Will Hate about Visiting Ireland as a Tourist
1) The Weather – you can expect that regardless of what time of year you visit Ireland you will likely be confronted with a lot of rain showers.
2) The Food – Ireland isn’t exactly known for its culinary classics (although the food is hearty, so don’t worry about going hungry!)
3) It may cost you – Ireland is more expensive than many other popular European countries to visit.
4) Public Transportation – although systems are in place, they run infrequently and may limit your ability to travel if you rely on them.
5) That you will need to drive – given issues with public transportation, driving is your best option, which can be intimidating to some travellers (especially with rainy conditions).
Don’t let these things deter you though!

1) The Scenery – Ireland is full of beautiful landscapes (it lives up to its Emerald Isle name!), amazing rock formations, and ancient structures.
2) The People – the Irish are hilarious, sarcastic, and incredibly friendly. Never be afraid to ask for help from locals or strike up a conversation!
3) Cute Irish Villages – you can almost feel yourself entering into a different world in these villages with their quaint atmospheres.
4) The Pubs – they are great places for live music, amazing drinks, and the opportunity to interact with local people!
