The Fun in Ireland With Family

Ireland is a great family vacation spot. With many areas from which to choose for staying in while you are visiting, some people opt to rent one of the area's farmhouses. Many choose Dublin though since this is the capital. This is often a destination for honeymoons. The cities of Cork, Belfast and Emerald Isle are also popular spots. There are many self-catering rentals available which are sometimes preferred over the typical hotel stay.

Belfast is another city that many choose. Should you decide this is one of the places you want to see while on vacation in Ireland, Donegall Square should be a stop. The Ulster Museum is also located here and has many interesting things to view. What remains of the shipwreck of the Armada is housed here.

The Grand Opera House is known for the musical programs there. If you want to see original and gorgeous mosaics, you should visit St. Anne's Cathedral, which is an Anglican church. Ireland vacations have much in the way of entertainment with the galleries, restaurants, pubs and fabulous murals painted on the buildings in the districts.

Golf is another pastime in Ireland with over 400 golf courses available here. This is another reason why Ireland is a big family vacation spot. With beautiful courses that are designed with the golfer in mind, many of the courses are 'pay and play'.

On the other hand, fishing is a big draw for many as well. The keen fisherman is in his element here. The coast line is vast; extending over 3,000 miles. There are lakes and bogs galore. This area is not saturated with pollution which is one of the reasons fishermen like Ireland as a fishing spot.
