land that it is today.
 Newgrange Tomb – a prehistoric wonder
 Skellig Islands (Kerry) – an uninhabited
escape from the mainland

• The Skellig Islands are two breathtaking, rocky and uninhabited islets
planted off the southeastern coast of Ireland and in the heart of the Atlantic
Ocean.
 Cliffs of Moher (Clare) – awe-inspiring,
cascading sea cliffs

• The Cliffs of Moher are awe-inspiring sea cliffs situated off the southwestern edge of the
Burren region in County Clare.
• The cliffs span a total of 14 kilometres (8 miles) and reach a maximum height of 214 metres
just north of O’Brien’s Tower.
 MONUMENTS
• It is an obelisk located in the Phoenix Park, 
Dublin, Ireland.
• The testimonial is situated at the southeast end
of the Park, overlooking Kilmainham and the 
River Liffey. The structure is 62 metres
(203 ft) tall, making it the largest obelisk in
Europe
molly malone statue
• Molly Malone is the enigmatic heroine of the
famous song of the same name, widely recognised
as Dublin’s unofficial anthem. Immortalised in
bronze during the 1988 Dublin Millennium
celebrations, her statue takes pride of place in the
heart of Dublin’s historic Georgian Quarter.
Though regularly upheld as a traditional Irish
ballad, it is not known for certain where the song
originated, or if Molly Malone ever actually
existed.
 Festivals: dublin st. patrick’s day parade
• For the biggest, loudest, proudest salute to St.
Patrick, attend the 
Dublin St. Patrick’s Day Parade on or around
March 17. Note that it is not always held on St.
Patrick’s Day, so check your dates on the
website before booking your trip to Ireland.
• You’ll have the chance to witness traditional
Irish music, dancing, and taste some of the best
beer in the world (obviously!) If you prefer
quieter festivals in Ireland, opt for a small
village parade instead.
