The Best of Ireland

Venture though Connemara National Park, where bogs and forests cut through the rolling mountains. Take in breathtaking scenery before arriving at Kylemore Abbey, situated on the shores of Pollacapall Lough. The monastery was founded in 1920, but the castle that houses the abbey was earlier a private home. Explore the Abbey with an expert guide, getting a glimpse into this storied building’s past. Containing over 50 rooms in addition to incomparable views of the natural landscape, a visit to Kylemore Abbey is more than you would expect of a Irish monastery. With free time to discover the area more on your own, perhaps you’ll wander through the extensive gardens or rest along the shore.

This culinary and cultural adventure begins at the Guinness Storehouse, Ireland's top international visitor attraction. Explore the brewing process behind this beloved beverage and learn how to pour the perfect pint. At its spectacular Gravity Bar, enjoy a sweeping 360º view of Dublin as you savor a complimentary pint. Then, indulge in a quintessential Irish dinner at a contemporary restaurant that explores “New Irish Cuisine,” serving up cutting-edge dishes using the freshest, local ingredients.
