For romantics, it is possible for overnight even in medieval castles, famous beacons, estates with authentic interiors and ancient Irish atmosphere. This option will not be cheap, however, together with the spirit of the antiquity there will be a modern service.

Many centuries, Ireland was the outskirts of the whole of Europe, and this despite the fact that many scientists and outstanding Irish worked almost in all corners of Europe. For a centuries-old history, Ireland has repeatedly tried to turn into a Protestant state, she was trying to seize the colonial yoke, and the inhabitants of this hungry and poor edge tried to go to earnings over the ocean.

At this time, Ireland is one of the most developed countries of the world with high GDP and IRPC per person. Virtually 30% of Ireland's GDP is income from exporting high-tech products and software. In addition, tourism is developing with high rates in Ireland. Thus, tourists from all over the world attract the picturesque corners of the country, received by Celtic legends. The most visited place in the state is Dublin, which was founded by Vikings back in the 9th century. At the beginning of the 18th century, the city became the center of struggle against the British rule, and in 1919 Ireland became an independent state.

The most famous and historical monuments of the capital is the Trinity College, founded back in 1591, Dublin Castle of the 13th century, as well as the Gothic Cathedral of St. Patrick. More all residents can be found on the square or the promenade. So, walking along the embankment, you will be able to visit the defense towers, which were still erected in the era of Napoleon. Museum is located in one of the towers famous writer James Joyce, who lived in it for a long time. In addition, in Ireland, such a rare direction in tourism is developing as equestrian tourism. The thing is that the Irish is proud of their traditions, which are already hundreds of years.

Popular centers, so-called equestrian tourism are the city of Killarney and Birr. Ireland is also very popular country For resort holidays, in particular sailing. Here is the real paradise for those who like to enjoy the lonely and quiet nature. One of the most popular Island is Blaset. It is located off the coast of the Dingle Peninsula. On this island is one of the oldest lighthouses of the country. Despite the inactive island life, many residents try to move precisely to the islands on which they experience a sense of privacy and peace. It is noteworthy that the landowners of Ireland are quite gently keeping ancient tradition. Among the visited objects, it is worth highlighting a chapel in the town of Gallair, which was outlined from the stones in the 6-7 century, the ruins of the cemetery and the church on the island of Holi, the Irish pub is a classic place of recreation of many Irish and a lot of others.

- one of the most unusual tourist destinations on the globe. This country is more known as a whole, rather than separate attractions. It would seem, how can such a small corner of the planet be filled with such incredible amount grand history natural beauty, bright culture and rampant fun? Here, Norman castles are watching wild, deserted beaches; Country houses of the Georgian era are arranged improvised evenings traditional music; And exalted theatrons at night merge with the bustle of Dublin pubs. At every step of Ireland, another spectacle opens to observe the pint of beer. Nevertheless, the real mystery of the country is its people. This unique "cocktail" of Raduchia, humor and peeling guarantees to turn a trip to the "Emerald Island" at the present adventure.

Adorable, naturally, becomes the first on the way among tourists. Here, the multicolored doors of the houses are rushed into the eyes. The fact is that in 1861 the Queen of Victoria died her husband, and in the sign of mourning, she ordered to repaint all the doors (there was in mind black). Irish listened and got out of the basement that paint, which was. Now colorful doors are one of the main "chips" of the city. Although the majestic architecture of the capital and its coastal charm is just a hint of what the country can offer in general. The true soul of today's Ireland can be found in the village of Carraro, and on the streets of the city of Cork. Such a search will seem extremely fascinating you.

Often they say that there are two Ireland. One is modern, full of fresh creative. The second - rooted in old traditions, with a good fraction of humor, hospitality and the ability to have fun. Night couments so, in general, there is no uncommon.

Taking into account all this, it is not surprising that it can respond to a wide range of interests. Those who are waiting for the republics of the diverse hiking excursions, the relics of the Celts or pubs with a violin melody will certainly be satisfied. However, as those who are interested in fashionable culinary trends, family entertainment or upscale hotels. - Although the country is small, but its cultural influence on the world is still significant.

A lot of associations are connected with this edge - from rocky peninsulas to almost legendary beer pint. Nevertheless, the Genuine Beauty of Ireland goes beyond any stereotype. The potential of this country for adventures - for real, adrenaline adventures is very often underestimated. Those who are looking for calm rest and solitude will also be rejected by many options.

Fantastic landscapes

When the pages of tourist brochures will look at you, do not think that this is just a two-dimensional "fiction". All this beauty really exists. You will be able to find it along the southwest Peninsulas of the country, in thoughtful loneliness of the area of \u200b\u200bConnection and in the impressively wild terrain of the county of Donegal. In addition, the postcard magnificence can be found in the grade of grades of Litrim and Roskommon, as well as in the wavy hills sun Southeast. It was significantly upgraded, but still some things remain unchanged. Meet face to face with a raging Atlantic on Skellig Michael Island or spend a summer evening in the courtyard pub near the house with a straw roof, and you know that Ireland, which existed several decades and even centuries ago.

Caution, story ...

The history of Ireland shows itself everywhere: from the exciting monuments of the prehistoric era in the Bru-Na-Lokin, the Rocky Capelue Head in the county of Kerry and the Carroumor sanctuary in Sligo to the fantastic ruins of the rich church past in the Glendal and Monastery of the Klonmaknas Valley. More new story visible in the colossal Museum "Titanic" in the city and horrific prison Kilmanham in E. And there is still a story so young that it still seems real, which is best able to feel in a tour of black taxi in Western Belfast or in the study of colorful political Wall painting in Derry.

Hospitality

Irish endless friendliness is a slapped stereotype, too simplifying national character. And this character is infinitely complicated. Red-haired descendants of Celts are very heartfast, welcoming, but they know their price. Any meeting with them is accompanied by not only conversations and jokes, but also willingness to always help. And this is not unbridled altruism! Be sure that, taking care of you, local residents First of all care about yourself. Jarrbs simply cannot feel comfortable in the company of those who do not feel this comfort. Here you will be welcomed at every step, but in Ireland all excess are encouraged.

Famous Irish beer

It has long passed those days when ordering food in Ireland, it was possible to experience a slight excitement. The country has learned to cook well, focusing on local meat, poultry and seafood. Nevertheless, national Irish dishes are not sophisticated high kitchen, but a simple rustic food, mostly sharpened under beer. Even marine wealth in the form of salmon, trout, lobster, mussels, lyonic and oysters as if created accompany the famous Irish drink.

In order to find where it is delicious to eat, you don't have to look for a long time. In Ireland, and especially in E, there is a significant number of restaurants with the stars Michelin.

Among the local treats you will meet Dublin shrimp, or Langustians; Oysters supplied with soda bread and beer; Irish stew from lamb, potatoes, bows, carrots and garlic; Pork legs Circle; Campanon - a mixture of potato mashed potatoes and cabbage; Blood sausage Pudding and "dish from residues" Codel made from pork sausages, bacon, potatoes, bow and broth. Among the drinks are particularly remarkable coffee in Irish with cream and whiskey, actually, the temples themselves are local production and, of course, beer. A lot of beer.

Cultural

Throughout the travel, you will be hit by the choice of cultural events offered by Ireland: see the play in one of the magnificent theaters A, admire the show of the famous Irish dance in the pub of Western Ireland or visit the rock concert at the Limerick Bar. In addition, summer here is filled with festivals glorifying everything - from flowering gardens to high literature.

To this day, Sacred Secret Celts remain. For the sake of mystical legends, unrealistic nature and unrestrained "pub" fun here, it is certainly worth going. This small corner of Europe with an impressive reputation and charming people is always happy to guests.

Introduction

Today in our country and, in particular, the Kaliningrad region, society has an increased interest in vacation abroad. This is due to the development of the economy and raising the standard of living of the population. Most often for travel, people choose trips to Poland, France, Italy, England. But for some reason, our tourist firms bypass such a country as Ireland and practically do not develop programs to visit this country. While it is quite popular among the tourists of European countries with their "turbulent" history, in their own charming nature and abundance of historical attractions.

The purpose of the work is the question: "What is Ireland and what do we know about it? ", As well as conditions and factors for the development of tourism in Ireland. The objectives of the study are as follows: the study of the natural conditions and geographical position of the country, climate, socio-economic and political structure, historical and cultural potential and tourism infrastructure.

Before choosing the topic, I also knew a little country. It is only the fact that she is an island is a saucer inhabited by the descendants of Celts with its tragic history associated with wars due to religions and territories. In order to learn the history of Ireland and all kinds of interesting factors, I used various sources from the Internet and tourist logs.

As it turned out, Ireland is a very quiet country. Life is flowing there on a calm and welllated bed. It feels fatality and accuracy.


1 Natural conditions, Geography.

1.1 Geographical position.

Ireland is a state that is located in the West of Europe and is located on most of the island of Ireland. In the north borders with Northern IrelandIncluded in the UK. From the east, the country is washed by the Irish Sea, and from other sides - Atlantic Ocean.

In the central part of the country there is a lowland plain. In its foundation, limestone and red sandstones are locked, blocked by powerful glacial sediments (up to 60 m). Plain is surrounded by hills and low mountains: Kerry Mountains - Top Quarantural, 1,041 m) in the southwest, Wicklow Mountains in the West, where Karst is widely developed, the Mountains of Donegal in the north, in the northeast there is a plateau (antrim) and lowlands, based on tertiary basalt exaggerations.

Basic natural fossils: natural gas, zinc, barita, lead, oil, copper, gypsum, peat, silver. Luxury lands occupy 14% of the country, meadows and pastures - 71%. Oak large-scale forests were exterminated in the middle of the century and now there are only about 1.5% of the country's territory, preserved only in several districts, mainly mountainous. There are many artificial coniferous plants. In the southwest, relict subtropical plants grow, such as a strawberry tree.

Animal world It is distinguished by comparative poverty even the complete absence of some animal species, such as snakes. In the seas that wash Ireland, the herring, cod, mackerel, flounder, sardines are found.

1.2 climate.

Ireland is often called an "Emerald Island". Here, the meadows and groves are green, thanks to a warm and wet climate. Heat and moisture brought cyclones passing over the warm north-atlantic flow, which is washed by the Western shores of Ireland. Here are frequent drinkers and dense fogs. During the year, an average drops to 1,200 mm of precipitation. Miscellaneous fixed in Sterin and Antrim, where annually the amount of precipitation reaches 1,600 mm per year. In the east, closer to the coast, as well as to the southern and eastern shores of Loch, the amount of precipitation does not exceed 800 mm per year. In general, Ireland is a bit clouds than England. This is due to a hilly landscape and intimacy with the Atlantic. Winter is warm, the temperature of January from + 5 to + 8 ° C, the snow falls rarely. Summer cool, rainy, middle July temperature + 15.1 ° C. Spring cold, protracted, and autumn late, warm.

Another interesting place - Connection, rich in mountains and lakes, which produce an indelible impression. There are places where they still speak old Irish.
