Northern Ireland is often referred to as Ulster because it roughly occupies the Ulster region of Ireland.<\/p>\n<p>#3 The Republic of Ireland is mainly catholic while Northern Ireland is mostly divided between Catholics (41%) and Protestants (41,5%). This caused a very tumultuous 20th century in Ireland, with civil wars, terrorist attacks and many many people killed.<\/p>\n<p>Almost everything in Ireland\u2019s history comes back to the tension between Catholics and Protestants, and if you are attentive you\u2019ll still see it, more or less hidden.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Peace-Wall-in-Belfast.jpg\" alt=\" The peace wall in Belfast\n\" class=\"wp-image-12116\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Peace-Wall-in-Belfast.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Peace-Wall-in-Belfast-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Peace-Wall-in-Belfast-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Peace-Wall-in-Belfast-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Peace-Wall-in-Belfast.jpg\" alt=\" The peace wall in Belfast\n\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-12116\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Peace-Wall-in-Belfast.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Peace-Wall-in-Belfast-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Peace-Wall-in-Belfast-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Peace-Wall-in-Belfast-520x390.jpg 520w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><figcaption> The peace wall in Belfast<br \/><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>#4 Nowadays things in Northern Ireland are much more peaceful and it\u2019s perfectly safe to travel around.

This is extremely\u00a0rare, if not unique among developed countries. So, what h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ened?<\/p>\n<p>Between 1845 and 1849 the potato crop\u00a0failed due to a late blight which destroyed both the leaves and the edible roots of the plant. Ireland was so heavily dependent on potatoes that more than 1M people died of starvation\u00a0and disease and up to 1.5M migrated (mainly to the US). This is usually called the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/event\/Great-Famine-Irish-history\">great famine<\/a>, or the\u00a0Irish Potato Famine.<\/p>\n<p>#6 How\u2019s the climate in Ireland? It rains\u2026 a lot (between 150 and 220 days a year),\u00a0 although the temperature is much warmer than one would expect in such a northern country due to the warm North Atlantic current.<\/p>\n<p>The profound impact of the Atlantic means that Ireland lacks extreme temperatures, with weather rarely going over 30\u00ba and lower than -2\u00ba\/-3\u00ba. Usually, Ireland receives cool summers and mild and wetter winters.<\/p>\n<p>What does this mean to you as a traveler? It\u2019s much better to travel in Summer than in Winter! It\u2019s warmer and rains less, however, everyone knows it and everything is much more crowded.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Blarney-Castle-Ireland.jpg\" alt=\"Blarney Castle, Ireland\" class=\"wp-image-12333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Blarney-Castle-Ireland.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Blarney-Castle-Ireland-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Blarney-Castle-Ireland-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Blarney-Castle-Ireland-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Blarney-Castle-Ireland.jpg\" alt=\"Blarney Castle, Ireland\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-12333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Blarney-Castle-Ireland.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Blarney-Castle-Ireland-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Blarney-Castle-Ireland-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Blarney-Castle-Ireland-520x390.jpg 520w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><figcaption> Blarney Castle<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>#7 Furthermore, you should consider that in winter the daylight hours are also very reduced which makes traveling in winter more difficult.<\/p>\n<p>So, what\u2019s the best time to visit Ireland? We believe that May is the best month to go to Ireland! Sunshine and daylight hours are big, it doesn\u2019t rain as much as in Winter time and the huge crowds of tourists aren\u2019t there yet.<\/p>\n<p>#8 Ireland has two official languages, English and Irish. While Irish is considered the first and national language, only about one-third of the population can speak it, on the other hand,\u00a0English is spoken by virtually everyone.<\/p>\n<p>Note that Irish people have a noticeably strong accent\u2026 to the point of being very difficult to understand at times. Though, after getting used to it it becomes easier.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Belfast-Peace-Line.jpg\" alt=\"everything you need to know when traveling to Ireland\" class=\"wp-image-12309\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Belfast-Peace-Line.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Belfast-Peace-Line-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Belfast-Peace-Line-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Belfast-Peace-Line-272x182.jpg 272w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Belfast-Peace-Line-520x346.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Belfast-Peace-Line.jpg\" alt=\"everything you need to know when traveling to Ireland\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-12309\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Belfast-Peace-Line.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Belfast-Peace-Line-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Belfast-Peace-Line-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Belfast-Peace-Line-272x182.jpg 272w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Belfast-Peace-Line-520x346.jpg 520w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><\/figure>\n<p>#9 Irish people are very communicative.

Going to a pub, and experience the atmosphere is definitely one of the things you need to do in Ireland.

They are absolutely breathtaking. The way the island ends in a 300 meters high cliff is incredible,\u00a0 while the shape of the coast creates remarkable natural lookouts, where you can enjoy the views. To truly enjoy this place you should take 2 or 3 hours to hike the several paths to the north and south of the official lookouts.<\/p>\n<p>You should note that you need to pay an 8 Euro parking fee to enter (per person, not per car), and that\u2019s virtually impossible to park anywhere else but in the official parking. It\u2019s quite sad, that such a natural place is enprisoned just to charge a few Euros.<\/p>\n<p>Travel tip: You can do the cliffs, the Burren, and Galway as a day trip from Dublin, but unless it\u2019s your only option, we strongly advise against it. It\u2019s really long, tiring, and you\u2019ll appreciate very little from it!<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Cliffs-of-Moher-Irland.jpg\" alt=\"Cliffs of Moher - Ireland guide\" class=\"wp-image-12293\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Cliffs-of-Moher-Irland.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Cliffs-of-Moher-Irland-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Cliffs-of-Moher-Irland-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Cliffs-of-Moher-Irland-520x293.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Cliffs-of-Moher-Irland.jpg\" alt=\"Cliffs of Moher - Ireland guide\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-12293\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Cliffs-of-Moher-Irland.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Cliffs-of-Moher-Irland-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Cliffs-of-Moher-Irland-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Cliffs-of-Moher-Irland-520x293.jpg 520w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><figcaption>View from the Cliffs of Moher<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>#21 The Ring of Kerry is a circular road through\u00a0the Kerry peninsula famous for its dramatic and bucolic views. It\u2019s really worth it, but you should take a full day for it. It\u2019s longer than it looks and if you want to take your time to stop and actually enjoy it, you\u2019ll need at least a full day.<\/p>\n<p>However, you should note that the Ring of Kerry is now very famous among travelers and during peak season you are doomed to get a lot of tourists. If this bothers you, maybe have a look at the Dingle peninsula below.

They are spread all over Ireland, most of them in ruins. You should note that some are very underwhelming and overrated. At least, when you come from other European countries which have pretty amazing castles and palaces.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, some are interesting and worth a visit, though a bit expensive. Our favorites are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Blarney Castle<\/strong> \u2013 where you can kiss (upside down) the blarney stone and receive the gift of gab. Note that it costs 18E to enter the castle and gardens.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Kilkenny\u00a0Castle<\/strong> \u2013 Which was home to the once powerful Butler family. The guided tour to this very well preserved castle is very interesting.

Honestly, it\u2019s good, but not great, I was expecting it to be much better.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Irish-Boxty.jpg\" alt=\"What to eat in Irland Boxty\" class=\"wp-image-12283\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Irish-Boxty.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Irish-Boxty-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Irish-Boxty-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Irish-Boxty-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Irish-Boxty.jpg\" alt=\"What to eat in Irland Boxty\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-12283\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Irish-Boxty.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Irish-Boxty-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Irish-Boxty-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Irish-Boxty-520x390.jpg 520w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><figcaption>What to eat in Irland Boxty<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>#34 The seafood chowder is also very traditional in Ireland.
