Discover Ireland’s Ancient East, the birthplace of good times.web-9H0A6808

From the UNESCO site at Newgrange to Waterford’s intriguing story of Viking visitors and legendary crystal.  Stand at the infamous port of Cobh – final stop of Titanic and casting off point for countless Irish emigrants.  Add Dublin’s Guinness Storehouse and a literary pub crawl and this vacation will leave even the most culturally curious refreshed and illuminated.

 

Dublin

Arrive in Dublin and set about exploring one of Europe’s most charming capitals.  From Georgian period architecture to the rich history of the quest for independence, there’s so many stories to be heard.  Dublin’s an easy walking city, compact and quaint, and as night falls there are a host of activities from reknown theatre, to gourmet dining, and we’ve arranged a special welcome amenity just for you.

The 5 Star The Fitzwilliam Hotel on Stephen’s Green is your base, enjoy the chic accommodations and delicious breakfast daily.  While here, you may choose to sample Thornton’s – one of Dublin’s finest restaurants.

Kilkenny

From Dublin it’s an easy drive to Kilkenny, a fascinating and compact city that’s easy to navigate.  While you’re there, drop by the castle and if it suits you the “Smithwicks Experience” – a wonderful brewery tour that takes in some history as well. http://www.smithwicksexperience.com  Both of these are included in your vacation package. And if you’re going to Ireland for a sports event, I’d recommend a stop at The Kilkenny Way for their Ultimate Hurling Experience.  http://www.thekilkennyway.com/kilkenny-hurling-package-2.asp

You’ll call the Pembroke Hotel home in Kilkenny, and along with a warm Irish welcome you’ll also enjoy breakfast daily along with one evening meal in the hotel, a tour of The Smithwick’s Brewery and Kilkenny Castle, and more.
