With a pithy and matter-of-fact writing style, these guides are guaranteed to calm the nerves of first-time world travelers, while still listing off-the-beaten-path finds sure to thrill even the most jaded globetrotters. Lonely Planet has been perfecting its guidebooks for nearly 30 years and as a result, has the experience and know-how similar to an older sibling's "been there" advice. The original backpacker's bible, the LP series has recently widened its reach. While still giving insights for the low-budget traveler, the books now list a wide range of accommodations and itineraries for those with less time than money. From pub-hopping and leprechaun-chasing to Ogham stones and the Book of Kells, Lonely Planet presents the essential Ireland. In addition to the requisite lowdown on food and accommodations, a detailed activities section covers everything from walking and birdwatching to hang gliding and rock climbing. The book's intriguing "boxed asides" delve into topics ranging from the mystical to the environmental, including the witch of Kilkenny, the legend of Inishbofin Island, the Birr Observatory and Telescope, even Ireland's disappearing bogs. --Kathryn True Product Description: Discover Ireland Hear nothing but wind over stone walls as you walk the edge of the continent on Inisheer. Taste Ireland's natural bounty as you feast on local produce in Kinsale. Trade banter with your driver on a black-taxi tour of the political murals of West Belfast. Tap your toes and raise your glass to a traditional music session in Doolin and Kilfenora. In This Guide: Seven authors, over 200 days of research, countless gallons of the black stuff consumed. Interviews with celebrity chefs, mural artists and fiddlers. Don't just take our word for it; see what travelers are saying at lonelyplanet.com Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Can't travel without Lonley PlanetAs always, Lonely Planet provides the best and most up to date information. Fail proof. Fool safe. Rating: - A charming, opinionated, comprehensive guide."Lonely Planet Ireland" was my introduction to the Lonely Planet series of travel books, and my experience with that volume will definitely lead me to seek out Lonely Planet books on other countries. Lonely Planet's team of writers and researchers writes in a breezy, engaging style that addresses readers as equals (too many travel writers, such as the late Temple Fielding, have talked down to readers). The book is exhaustively comprehensive, covering just about every town, village and point of interest ...

Travelling in Ireland is pretty straightforward, simple, and every town is geared toward tourism, so this book may not be absolutely necessary to carry with you, but it is invaluable for planning purposes. Rating: - Great information for touristsI have always been a fan of the lonely planet books, because they really help me find places to go in other countries. However, take my review with a grain of salt because, at this point, I have not taken my trip to Ireland yet. While it is informative and it has given me ideas of places to visit and hotels to stay in, I have not experienced what the book has said. However, it has helped me book hotels and design my iternerary. Rating: - Lonely Planet: Ireland 2008After painfully attempting to plan my honeymoon to Ireland with another type of tour-guide, I decided to return to the one that made my trips to Thailand and Costa Rica truly memorable. What can I say? Lonely Planet never ceases to amaze me!! Their FULL review of countries caters to ALL types of travelers, including those on a budget. The other guides' authors write their reviews of primarily expensive places to eat and stay. They also write as if they were being compensated by the reviewees (which ... Read More
