Ireland has over 7,000 pubs!

These establishments are not just about drinks; they are social hubs where locals and visitors alike enjoy music, conversation, and a sense of community.

Ireland is home to some of the oldest universities in the world.

Trinity College Dublin, founded in 1592, is one of Ireland's most prestigious institutions and houses the famous Book of Kells.

Halloween originated from the ancient Irish festival of Samhain.

This festival marked the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter, and it was believed that the boundary between the living and the dead was thinnest during this time.
