An Unforgettable Ireland Adventure: Our Ultimate Week-Long Itinerary & Travel Guide

Ireland, the Emerald Isle, called to us, and we answered! We recently returned from a truly unforgettable week-long journey exploring the breathtaking beauty and rich history of this incredible country. Our adventure was a perfectly balanced blend of fast-paced exploration and moments of serene relaxation, guiding us from the vibrant energy of bustling cities to the tranquility of picturesque coastal villages, the grandeur of ancient castles, and scenic countryside drives that felt plucked straight from a cinematic masterpiece. After sharing glimpses of our travels on Instagram Stories, the overwhelming response and numerous requests for more details inspired me to compile this comprehensive guide. Here, you’ll find our complete Ireland itinerary, details on where we stayed, what we absolutely adored (and what we’d fine-tune next time), along with a wealth of helpful tips to inspire your own Irish escapade.

If your travel dreams are filled with visions of undulating green landscapes, majestic ancient castles, dramatic cliffside roads, and the warm glow of cozy traditional pubs, then prepare to fall head over heels for Ireland, just as we did. My husband Jeff’s company has a significant presence in Dublin, which meant we were incredibly fortunate to receive invaluable recommendations for must-see attractions and unmissable dining experiences directly from his Irish colleagues. Their local insights proved to be gold, steering us towards authentic experiences and hidden gems across the country!

While our trip was packed with incredible sights and activities, we meticulously woven in some much-needed downtime towards the latter half of our journey, allowing us to truly soak in the magic. Before we delve into the day-by-day unfolding of our epic adventure, let’s talk about the practicalities of preparing for an Irish holiday – starting with what to pack for this wonderfully whimsical destination. (Please note: this post includes commissionable links. For more information, please see my full disclosure statement {here}.)

What to Pack for Your Ireland Trip: Essentials for Any Season

The weather in Ireland is famously capricious, often described as experiencing all four seasons in a single day, even during the height of summer. This means that smart packing is absolutely crucial for a comfortable and enjoyable trip. You can expect skies to shift from bright sunshine to a gentle, misty rain within minutes, so your suitcase should prioritize layers, comfort, and versatile pieces. Ireland embraces a wonderfully casual atmosphere, so there’s generally no need for overly formal attire. Apart from {this elegant dress} and {these chic sandals} that I brought for a special dinner at Ashford Castle, most of my dressier items remained untouched in my luggage.

To help you prepare for your Irish adventure, here are a few indispensable items that we highly recommend adding to your packing list:

• Lightweight Waterproof Jacket: An absolute non-negotiable! {This particular one} was my constant companion, proving its worth daily. For colder months, consider adding a packable down vest for an extra layer of warmth.
• Comfortable, Sturdy Sneakers: You’ll be doing a lot of walking, exploring ancient sites, and strolling through charming towns. I practically lived in {these sneakers}, which provided perfect support and comfort for navigating cobblestone streets, expansive castle grounds, and scenic walking trails.
• Waterproof Boots or Hiking Shoes: While we enjoyed unusually beautiful weather during our visit and didn’t end up needing them, waterproof boots like {these} are typically essential for staying dry on wetter days, especially if you plan to explore coastal paths or rural areas.
• Crossbody Bag or Belt Bag: Keeping your essentials secure and easily accessible is key. I utilized {this leather belt bag}, which offers the versatility of being worn across your chest or as a fanny pack. It was the perfect size for my daily necessities, but if you prefer something more spacious, it also comes in a larger crossbody option {here}.
• AirPods or Other Earbuds: These are incredibly useful for enhancing your experience, especially for self-guided tours like the Book of Kells, allowing you to absorb information without distraction.
• Small Packable Umbrella: A compact umbrella, such as {this one} I brought, is a practical addition for those inevitable sudden showers.
• International Power Adapter: Essential for charging your electronics. I relied on {this adapter} throughout our trip, appreciating its additional USB outlets for simultaneous charging.
• Portable Charger/Power Bank: With extensive sightseeing and navigation, your phone battery can drain quickly. {This portable charger} was a lifesaver, especially with its built-in cords compatible with both my phone and AirPods.
• Eye Mask: For years, {this mask} has been my go-to for red-eye flights. Its unique design prevents it from flattening against your eyes, keeping makeup intact and providing ultimate comfort. It was equally beneficial for our first night in Ireland; with the significant time difference, we retired early, but the late summer sunset (around 9:30 PM) made the eye mask invaluable for achieving restful sleep.

Day 1: Arrival and Immersion in Dublin’s Historic Charm

Our journey began with a red-eye flight, landing in Dublin around noon. As our plane descended, we were greeted with our very first glimpse of Ireland’s iconic landscape – a vibrant tapestry of lush, rolling green countryside stretching as far as the eye could see. It was a truly mesmerizing welcome to the Emerald Isle, setting the tone for the beauty that awaited us.

From the airport, we hopped into a local taxi, and our driver, with typical Irish warmth, immediately engaged us in friendly conversation throughout the entire ride into the heart of Dublin. This was just the first of many delightful interactions with locals that enriched our trip, showcasing the genuine hospitality Ireland is renowned for. We checked into The Grafton Hotel, a clean, modern, and perfectly situated establishment right in the city center. Its prime location meant that virtually all major attractions were within easy walking distance, making our initial exploration of Dublin incredibly convenient.

Our room at The Grafton boasted a lively view overlooking the renowned Hairy Lemon pub, an iconic Dublin institution known for its character and bustling atmosphere. The sight hinted at the vibrant nightlife we would soon experience.

After a quick and satisfying bite at Bruxelles, a popular spot in downtown Dublin,

we set off on foot to truly experience the city. Our leisurely stroll led us past charming, colorful storefronts, historic buildings adorned with vibrant floral displays, and countless inviting pubs, including the world-famous Temple Bar, an essential stop for any Dublin visitor. The lively atmosphere and picturesque streetscapes instantly captivated us.

Following the exhibit, we entered what was, for me, the undeniable showstopper of our Dublin visit: the magnificent Long Room of the Old Library. This hallowed hall felt as if it had been lifted directly from the pages of a Harry Potter film, its grandeur leaving us utterly speechless.

Imagine towering oak shelves stretching towards the heavens, laden with centuries of knowledge, the distinct scent of ancient books filling the air, complemented by classical marble busts of great thinkers and elegantly curved staircases. It was, quite simply, breathtaking.

After our inspiring visit to the library, we enjoyed a tranquil stroll through the historic campus courtyard,

before making our way back towards our hotel, meandering down the iconic Grafton Street. This famous shopping thoroughfare offered a perfect opportunity for window shopping, people-watching, and simply soaking up the vibrant, dynamic buzz that defines Dublin city life.

A quick change of clothes later, we were ready for an evening of fine dining. We indulged in a superb meal at Marco Pierre White Steakhouse, known for its exquisite cuts and sophisticated ambiance. Our evening continued with creative cocktails at Cafe en Seine, a truly stunning Parisian-style bar that transports you to another era with its opulent decor and lively atmosphere.

As someone who appreciates a well-crafted drink, I was consistently impressed throughout our trip by Ireland’s burgeoning cocktail scene. The bars surprised me with their next-level concoctions, often featuring innovative blends of fresh juices and fragrant herbs, elevating each drink into a delightful experience.

After having run on a mere two hours of sleep over the past 38 hours, we truly crashed, succumbing to a deep and well-deserved sleep back at our hotel. Day one was a whirlwind, but incredibly rewarding!

Day 2: From Ancient Strongholds to Charming Coastal Towns – Rock of Cashel, Blarney Castle, & Kinsale

After a hearty breakfast at our Dublin hotel, we embarked on the next phase of our journey. We took a taxi back to Dublin Airport, not to depart, but to pick up our rental car. This decision was a strategic one, based on excellent advice from Jeff’s colleagues. They wisely recommended avoiding driving within Dublin itself, as navigating the city’s narrow streets and finding parking can be a significant challenge, especially for those unfamiliar with driving on the left-hand side of the road. I was incredibly grateful that Jeff felt confident behind the wheel, as the prospect of driving on the “wrong” side filled me with a fair bit of trepidation!

Our first destination outside of Dublin was the magnificent Rock of Cashel, a truly awe-inspiring medieval site majestically perched high above the pastoral Tipperary countryside. The scale of this historic complex is simply massive, a fact that becomes strikingly apparent when you compare its imposing structures to the visitors exploring its ancient grounds. It’s a powerful testament to Ireland’s rich past and architectural prowess.

Before hitting the road again, we ducked into a charming local eatery called Granny’s Kitchen for a quick, wholesome lunch. Here, we enjoyed our first of many delightful meals featuring a comforting bowl of vegetable soup served alongside traditional brown bread – a simple yet incredibly satisfying Irish staple that quickly became a favorite.

Next on our itinerary was one of Ireland’s most iconic and enchanting landmarks: Blarney Castle. The anticipation was palpable as we approached this legendary fortress, eager to experience its storied history.

We bravely ascended the castle’s narrow, winding spiral staircase, a journey through centuries of history, to reach the top. There, we partook in the quirky tradition of leaning backward, often with a good deal of acrobatics involved, to kiss the famous Blarney Stone. Beforehand, we had no idea this ritual involved such a dramatic lean! Thankfully, a helpful attendant is always on hand to securely hold onto your waist, ensuring you don’t slip too far over the edge while attempting to gain the “gift of the gab.” It was a memorable and slightly daring experience!

Beyond the castle walls, the Blarney Castle grounds themselves were a verdant paradise, beautifully manicured and lush with flora. We were blessed with a gorgeous day, which made strolling through the extensive gardens all the more enjoyable. A particular highlight was visiting the intriguing Poison Garden, a unique collection of toxic plants, and leisurely walking along the various scenic trails that meander through the estate, soaking in the serene natural beauty.

From the historical grandeur of Blarney, we then journeyed to the coast, arriving at one of our absolute favorite stops of the entire trip: the vibrant and picturesque harbor town of Kinsale. This charming gem instantly captured our hearts with its unique Irish character.

Kinsale truly embodies pure Irish charm, characterized by its labyrinthine narrow winding streets, an array of pastel-painted shops that add a splash of color to every corner, and the gentle bobbing of boats in its bustling marina. It’s a town that invites you to wander and discover. We checked into the stunning Perryville House, a beautifully restored Georgian home that exuded elegance and comfort.

I genuinely cannot speak highly enough about the exceptional hospitality we received at Perryville House, nor adequately describe the sheer beauty of our room, and particularly, our luxurious bathroom! Every detail was meticulously attended to, creating an atmosphere of refined comfort.

Aside from our opulent stay at Ashford Castle later in the trip, Perryville House truly stood out as our favorite accommodation, offering an unparalleled blend of charm, service, and location.

Our evening in Kinsale was completed with a fantastic seafood dinner at Fishy Fishy, a renowned local establishment within easy walking distance of our hotel. The fresh catches were exquisite, living up to the restaurant’s reputation. To cap off the night, we immersed ourselves in the authentic Irish pub experience, pint in hand, tapping our feet along to the lively rhythms of traditional live Irish music. It was the perfect end to a day filled with history, beauty, and local charm.

Day 3: Scenic Coastal Drive to Killarney – Cliffs, Countryside & Charm

Day three began with what we both enthusiastically agreed was the absolute best breakfast of our entire trip, served at Perryville House. The fresh, local ingredients and impeccable preparation set a high bar for the day ahead, filling us with energy for our onward journey.

Leaving the delightful town of Kinsale behind, we set out on a magnificent driving route that meticulously wound its way along Ireland’s stunning southern coast. The scenery was nothing short of spectacular, a constantly changing panorama of dramatic sea cliffs, vibrant green fields, hills dotted with grazing sheep, and quaint, storybook villages that seemed to have been lifted directly from a postcard. Every turn revealed another breathtaking view, solidifying Ireland’s reputation for unparalleled natural beauty.

Our journey led us to a significant stop: Mizen Head, Ireland’s most southwesterly point. Here, we bravely walked across the impressive Mizen Head Footbridge, a thrilling experience that offered unparalleled, panoramic views of the rugged cliffs and the powerful Atlantic Ocean below. The sheer majesty of the landscape at this remote outpost was truly humbling.

We arrived in Killarney early that evening, feeling both invigorated by the coastal drive and ready to settle into our next luxurious stay. We checked into the elegant Muckross Park Hotel & Spa, a beautifully appointed hotel perfectly nestled in the heart of the magnificent Killarney National Park. Its location promised both tranquility and easy access to the park’s natural wonders.

For dinner, we opted for a quick and casual yet delicious meal at Colgan’s, a convenient on-site restaurant at the hotel. It was the perfect choice after a day of extensive driving and sightseeing, allowing us to relax and prepare for the adventures Killarney had in store.

Day 4: Castles, Waterfalls & the Majestic Ring of Kerry

Day four in Killarney began with an invigorating start for Jeff, who embraced the crisp morning air with a scenic bike ride through the expansive and beautiful Killarney National Park. The park offers an incredible network of trails, perfect for exploring its diverse landscapes.

Meanwhile, I opted for a more leisurely start, indulging in a longer sleep and a slower morning. After a delightful breakfast, we reconvened to visit Ross Castle, a stunning 15th-century tower house gracefully situated on the shores of Lough Leane, with a picturesque backdrop of rolling hills. The castle’s lakeside setting is truly captivating, offering fantastic photographic opportunities and a glimpse into medieval Irish life.

Choosing to skip the internal castle tour this time, we instead headed to the nearby natural wonder of Torc Waterfall. A short, enchanting walk through lush woodland leads to this powerful cascade, where water tumbles dramatically down a series of steps. The sound of the rushing water and the vibrant greenery surrounding it create a truly serene and refreshing experience.

The true highlight of our day, and indeed one of the pinnacles of our entire trip, was driving the legendary Ring of Kerry. This iconic scenic route lived up to, and perhaps even surpassed, all the hype. The narrow, winding roads offered an ever-changing tapestry of Ireland’s natural beauty, from the rugged, wild coastline where the Atlantic crashes against ancient rocks, to peaceful sheep farms nestled in gentle valleys, and windswept hills offering expansive, panoramic vistas. Every turn was a postcard moment, affirming why this drive is a must-do for any visitor to Ireland.

Jeff was particularly excited to catch a distant glimpse of Skellig Michael off the coast, the dramatic and isolated island monastery that gained even more global recognition after its cameo in the Star Wars films. Its silhouette against the vast ocean was a truly striking sight, adding a touch of cinematic magic to our already incredible day.

Further along the Ring of Kerry, we made our way to the towering Kerry Cliffs. These majestic cliffs offered views just as breathtaking as the more famous Cliffs of Moher, but with the added bonus of being significantly less crowded. Standing at the edge, gazing out at the vastness of the ocean meeting the dramatic land, was an incredibly powerful and serene experience, allowing us to truly appreciate the raw beauty of Ireland’s coastline.

Back in Killarney as the day drew to a close, we treated ourselves to a memorable dinner at Foley’s Restaurant, a highly recommended spot known for its fresh seafood. We savored a truly delicious lobster dinner, a perfect culinary conclusion to a day of spectacular sights. We then happily spent our second night at the comfortable Muckross Park Hotel, recharging for more adventures.

Day 5: Dingle’s Colorful Charm & Adare’s Thatched Cottages

We dedicated most of day five to exploring Dingle, a truly enchanting town on the Dingle Peninsula, celebrated for its vibrant, colorful storefronts, an array of unique artisan shops, and an abundance of inviting, cozy pubs. Dingle is a place that instantly captivates with its lively atmosphere and genuine Irish character. We spent our morning leisurely wandering through its streets, popping into various shops to browse local crafts, and of course, indulging in the quintessential Dingle experience of visiting several pubs, including the iconic Dick Mack’s, a pub as famous for its history as for its pints.

For lunch, we found ourselves at the lively Dingle Pub, where we enjoyed a delicious meal amidst a convivial atmosphere.

Our choice for lunch was the universally acclaimed seafood chowder, a rich and creamy delight brimming with fresh local seafood, perfectly paired, as always, with a generous serving of traditional Irish brown bread. It was a comforting and authentic taste of coastal Ireland.

No trip to Dingle is truly complete without indulging in a treat from Murphy’s Ice Cream, a local legend known for its artisan, small-batch ice cream made with fresh dairy from Kerry cows. Following this local wisdom, we absolutely had to partake, savoring their unique flavors and creamy textures – a truly delightful culinary experience that added a sweet note to our day.

After immersing ourselves in the lively town of Dingle, we embarked on the iconic Slea Head Drive loop, a coastal road offering some of the most spectacular scenery in Ireland. The drive presented a continuous series of breathtaking sights, from dramatic sea views and ancient ruins to secluded beaches and rugged headlands. It’s a journey that truly showcases the raw, untamed beauty of the Dingle Peninsula.

As we then headed off towards Adare, we encountered a truly unique and quintessentially Irish traffic snag: a flock of sheep! A local farmer and his diligent sheepdog were expertly herding their flock right down the road, bringing our journey to a delightful, albeit temporary, halt. It was a charming reminder of the country’s rural heart and a wonderful, unexpected moment of authentic Ireland.

Upon arrival in Adare, we were immediately charmed by this picturesque village, famous for its beautifully preserved thatched-roof cottages and stone walls gracefully adorned with climbing roses. It felt like stepping into a storybook. We checked into the elegant Dunraven Arms Hotel, a luxurious and historic establishment perfectly blending modern comfort with traditional Irish charm.

For dinner, we opted for a cozy and casual meal at Auntie Lena’s, a welcoming restaurant just a short, pleasant walk from our hotel. It was the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy some hearty local fare after a day packed with stunning scenery and delightful experiences.

Day 6: Castles, Cliffs, and a Fairytale Evening at Ashford Castle

After a delicious breakfast in Adare, we drove on to Bunratty Castle, an imposing and beautifully preserved 15th-century tower house. Our visit here offered a unique insight into medieval Ireland, as several rooms within the castle have been meticulously restored and recreated to authentically depict what they would have originally looked like, offering a vivid sense of daily life centuries ago.

Adjacent to the castle, the Bunratty Folk Park presented a fascinating recreated 19th-century village. This open-air museum allowed us to wander in and out of various houses, cottages, and shops, each meticulously furnished and representing different social strata of the time. It was an immersive experience, truly bringing history to life.

Our journey then continued to the awe-inspiring and legendary Cliffs of Moher. We were incredibly fortunate to experience these magnificent natural wonders on yet another stunning day, with clear, brilliant blue skies – a truly rare and cherished gift on the often-misty cliffs! The panoramic views of the colossal cliffs plunging into the Atlantic Ocean were utterly breathtaking, a truly iconic sight that words and pictures can barely do justice.

After soaking in the grandeur of the cliffs, we enjoyed a delightful lunch at McDermott’s in the charming coastal village of Doolin. This cozy spot earned our unofficial award for the best seafood chowder of the entire trip – a testament to its creamy richness and fresh, abundant ingredients. From Doolin, we then made our way inland for what promised to be a once-in-a-lifetime stay: a night at the majestic Ashford Castle. From the moment we arrived, the expansive, manicured grounds were absolutely stunning, and the level of personalized service we received was unlike anything I had ever experienced before. It truly felt like stepping into a fairytale.

Our room, a sanctuary of luxurious comfort and historic elegance, did not disappoint either, exceeding every expectation with its exquisite details and opulent amenities.

Dinner at Ashford Castle’s Michelin-starred restaurant was a truly unforgettable experience, my first time dining in such an esteemed establishment. Each course was a meticulously crafted work of art, a symphony of flavors and textures that tantalized the senses and elevated dining to an exquisite performance.

The culinary journey culminated in the most heavenly desserts, each one a perfect, sweet conclusion to an evening of unparalleled gastronomic delight. It was a meal that will linger in our memories for years to come.

Day 7: Leisure and Luxury at Ashford Castle

After such a whirlwind and fast-paced trip up until this point, having a dedicated slower day at Ashford Castle was precisely what we needed. It allowed us to truly relax, absorb the magnificent surroundings, and indulge in some of the castle’s unique activities. In the morning, Jeff enjoyed a round of golf on the castle’s championship course, while I headed to the impressive stables for a memorable horseback riding experience. The estate’s equestrian facilities are truly top-notch, offering beautiful trails and well-cared-for horses.

Having grown up horseback riding and continued through college, I particularly appreciated that the castle offers private rides. It was just the trail leader and me, which meant I wasn’t limited to just walking. After a quick skills test in the ring, I was able to enjoy a more spirited ride, cantering through the picturesque estate – a truly exhilarating and personalized experience that brought back wonderful memories.

Jeff and I reunited in the afternoon for a leisurely bike ride, exploring the enchanting forest trails that wind through the castle grounds and extending into the charming neighboring village. It was a wonderful way to soak in the tranquil beauty of the estate at a relaxed pace, discovering hidden corners and enjoying each other’s company.

For dinner, we experienced another culinary delight at Cullen’s at the Cottage, a superb seafood restaurant conveniently located on the castle grounds. This charming eatery offered a more relaxed atmosphere than the fine dining experience of the previous night but maintained an exceptional standard of cuisine.

The seafood we enjoyed there was, without exaggeration, some of the best we have ever tasted – incredibly fresh, expertly prepared, and bursting with flavor. It was a true celebration of Ireland’s rich coastal bounty.

We capped off our magical evening by settling into the cozy and inviting castle pub, a perfect spot for unwinding and soaking in the historic ambiance.

Jeff indulged in a unique smoked cocktail, a visually impressive and deliciously complex drink, while I savored a classic Irish coffee, the perfect warm and comforting end to a wonderful day.

Throughout our entire stay at Ashford Castle, the service was truly top-tier – attentive, professional, yet never stuffy. Every interaction was warm and thoughtful, making our experience feel both grand and genuinely welcoming.

Day 8: Farewell to Ashford, Dublin’s Jameson Toast, and Homeward Bound

On our final morning at Ashford Castle, we had eagerly planned to join the famous morning walk with the castle’s majestic resident Irish wolfhounds. Unfortunately, much to our disappointment, the walk was canceled due to the guide falling ill. However, we were still able to enjoy a brief but delightful meet and greet with these gentle giants of the furry crew, sharing a few precious moments before we had to bid a reluctant goodbye to the unparalleled luxury and charm of Ashford Castle.

From the tranquility of the castle, we made our way back to Dublin, where we decided to wrap up our incredible trip with a lively tour of the Jameson Distillery Bow St. It proved to be a super fun and interactive experience, featuring engaging tastings and a fascinating deep dive into the history and production of Irish whiskey. Our group was particularly spirited, making the whiskey education all the more enjoyable.

Jeff had previously experienced the Guinness Storehouse tour and highly recommended it as well, suggesting it’s another worthwhile and iconic Dublin experience for those interested in Ireland’s renowned beverages.

We capped off our final evening in Ireland with a superb steak dinner at FIRE Steakhouse & Bar, a sophisticated restaurant known for its exceptional cuts and elegant ambiance. It was a delicious and fitting conclusion to an extraordinary culinary journey across the country.

The next morning, it was time to head to Dublin Airport for our flight home. I flew solo, as Jeff was staying on in Dublin for business. Thanks to Jeff’s airline points, I was wonderfully bumped up to business class – a truly luxurious treat that included an indulgent ice cream sundae, a fully reclining chair, and a cozy blanket. What a fabulous way to conclude an unforgettable Irish adventure!

Reflections: What We’d Do Differently on Our Next Irish Journey (Not Much!)

Honestly, our week-long trip to Ireland was so perfectly planned and executed that there isn’t a whole lot we would change. However, for those planning their own adventure, here are a few considerations that might enhance the experience or allow for a slightly different pace:

• Extended Stays in Coastal Gems: We would consider spending an extra night in charming coastal towns like Kinsale or Dingle. This would allow for a slightly slower pace, giving more time to explore their unique shops, enjoy additional local meals, or simply relax and soak in the vibrant atmosphere without feeling rushed. This might mean consolidating some of the many coastline drives we undertook, opting for deeper immersion over broader coverage.
• Expanding the Northern Horizons: If time allowed, we would definitely extend the trip by a few extra days to incorporate the captivating regions of Galway, the mystical Aran Islands, or the ruggedly beautiful Connemara. These areas offer different landscapes and cultural experiences that we regretfully couldn’t fit into this itinerary but are high on our list for a return visit.
• More Time at Ashford Castle: If budget permitted, adding another night onto our stay at Ashford Castle would be a dream. This would allow for even more leisurely enjoyment of its incredible amenities and grounds. Specifically, we would have loved to experience one of the renowned falconry sessions offered at the castle, which we heard were absolutely amazing. From Ashford, one could then directly head to the airport, bypassing a return to Dublin, which could streamline the departure process.

If you’re meticulously planning your very own Irish adventure, I sincerely hope this detailed post has provided you with some invaluable tips, practical insights, and plenty of inspiration to craft a truly memorable itinerary. The magic of Ireland is boundless, and we’re already dreaming of our next visit, perhaps to explore a northern route and uncover even more of this captivating country!
