Ireland is renowned for its scenic beauty, rich history, and vibrant culture, offering attractions such as castles, churches, and museums. The country boasts the largest green space in Europe and the longest coastal touring route in the world. Visitors can enjoy stunning landscapes, including mountains and lush valleys, or indulge in water sports. Unlike many European countries, Ireland is not part of the Schengen Agreement, meaning you’ll need to apply for a separate tourist visa if you plan to visit.
