Feel the blast of fresh sea air with a lighthouse walk. Get up close to history, grab a fireside seat at a traditional music session, experience the world-famous Irish hospitality and explore some of Ireland’s most exhilarating coastal scenery. It is a place that inspired dreamers and travelers, poets and painters with a landscape filled with stone walls, thatched cottages, deserted beaches and breathtaking views. Charming towns and villages, 1,500 miles of soaring cliffs, incredible landscapes and unique experiences await.

If you’re flying from New York City, Boston or Chicago, fly directly into Shannon Airport, the gateway to Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way. Right now, Ireland is the only place in Europe with U.S. Customs and Border Protection Preclearance facilities. So, when flying out of Shannon, take care of immigration and customs before you board rather than stateside, where you would otherwise line up with hundreds of incoming passengers. It also makes connecting to onward domestic U.S. flights that much easier.
