Product Description
Most travelers go away for two weeks or less, so why is it that every major travel publisher offers huge books where 90% of the content ¿ like the human brain ¿ goes unused? Open Road has the solution, the perfect travel guide, because we now offer a choice consumers have not had before: a guide that actually gives readers the content they need for the trip they want! Readers can flip through the book and go to the section that matches how much time they have budgeted, and then go right to that section and see our expert trip ideas. They will also see at a glance which hotels and restaurants are best for them, where the happening nightlife is, the best sports and recreation, and where the most authentic, local shopping can be found.
Open Road¿s Best of Ireland gives readers a small number of great choices and itineraries for one-day, weekend, one-week and two-week trips to whatever part of Ireland they¿re visiting. Only the best of Ireland is included, with great ideas for Dublin, the Blarney Stone, Powerscourt Gardens, Newgrange, Cork, rugged coastal towns, even Belfast and Northern Ireland. Readers will learn about the top medieval castles they can stay in, the best places to shop for sweaters and Claddagh rings, a unique literary pub crawl, and much more!
Best of all, we don¿t weigh readers down with tons of useless information ¿ we cut to the chase and give readers short descriptions of the best Ireland has to offer.

Reader Reviews
This review is from: Ireland Guide, Third Edition (Paperback)
My initial interest in the book was sparked by the subtitle - Be A Traveler-Not A Tourist. I was planning our first trip to Ireland and purchased four books on the Emerald Isle. As I proceeded in my planning, I found that I did not need the other three, as I found all of the information I needed in Mr. McQuillan's book. He provides extensive information about Ireland in general, its history, accomodations, well known and little known tourist sites and places of interest, even directions on how to proceed from one area to another whether it be by bike, bus or car. The book is very well written and easy to understand. I made all of our plans for accomodations and travel based on Mr. McQuillan's recommendations and we had an absolutely wonderful time! A must have for anyone planning to travel to Ireland for the first time or the fifth!
