warmly greeted by the friendly people at the front desk who will make sure your room is to your liking. You will
receive the best information from the local staff about the closest pub offering traditional Irish fair, best
shopping spots, family activities and the best places to enjoy the nightlife.
Guest Houses
Guest houses in Ireland are usually larger than B&Bs even though they are still family run. Most have between
5 and 15 guest rooms. Often guest houses are purpose built so that the rooms are generally larger and the
facilities are more generous than B&Bs. You can expect to pay about the same as a 3 star hotel but with a
more
cozy and comfortable atmosphere.
Resorts
There are a growing number of health farms and spas throughout Ireland, which include spa baths, massage
clinics, yoga retreats and beauty salons as well as accommodation.
Castles
Experience the splendour and magnificence of staying in an historic castle in Ireland. It’s not every day that
you
get to wake in the grandeur of ancient tapestries, stone columns, high vaulted ceilings, spectacular gardens
and lakes, right at your doorstep. Live like a king

8. Rent A Car
● Many first-time American visitors will use a tour bus for the land portion of
their trip because they are fearful of driving in a foreign country, on the
wrong side of the road on the wrong side of the car. If you are a good driver,
you will be able to handle driving in Ireland. If you're a little nervous, rent a
car with an automatic transmission. It costs more, but shifting is one less
thing to think about while driving.
Auto Europe offers the best rates guaranteed on car rentals, as well as discount
airfare and hotel reservations all over the world.
With over 8,000 car rental locations world wide, Auto Europe truly is your one
stop travel shop. In addition to car rentals, we also offer sports and prestige car
rentals, long term leases, chauffeur drive services as well as cell phone and GPS
rentals.

9. Don’t Tip in Restaurants
● In America, waiters earn an hourly wage that’s far
below the minimum wage with the expectation that
tips will bring them up to and over the minimum
wage. In Ireland, and Europe, waiters earn an
hourly wage that’s far greater than American
counterparts, so there’s no expectation to leave a
tip for service. If you want to though, 10% is
plenty.

10. Recommended Driving Tours
● The Cliffs of Moher is Ireland’s most visited natural attraction with a magical
vista that captures the hearts of up to 1 million visitors each year. The Cliffs rise
up to 214 (700 feet) at the highest point and range for 8km over the Atlantic
Ocean on the Western seaboard of Co. Clare.
● Conor Pass (Dingle Peninsula): The main road from Tralee to Dingle Town
takes you 390m above sea level on a road that seems impossibly narrow and
rough, but which offers extraordinary views. You may find yourself above the
clouds here, and in places you can see for miles. It's an unforgettable drive,
especially in the spring or fall, when the weather can create gorgeous skies.

11. Keep a Euro in Your Pocket
● If you plan to shop for groceries, keep one Euro in your pocket.
You’ll need a one Euro coin to get a shopping cart (a “trolley”),
which gets returned to you when you put back the cart. Also,
keep reusable grocery bags in your car. You’ll need them when
you shop or you’ll have to buy bags. You also need to bag your
own groceries.

12. Language
● English is the spoken language in Ireland, even
though Irish is the official language. It is taught in
schools and mostly spoken in Gaeltachts or ‘Irish
speaking’ areas in parts of Kerry, Cork, Galway,
Mayo and Donegal.
