Ireland is considered to be the largest island in the whole of Europe. There are many exciting things to do, see and learn in this country. Check out the historical castles, national monuments and various cultural heritages. Among the historical castles, the Newgrange or Bru Na Broinne is not to be missed.

This UNESCO World Heritage Site was built around 3200BC. Apart from being one of the world's oldest astronomically aligned monuments, it gives a breathtaking sight during the winter solstice. Lakelands, Waterford, Kilkenny, Galway and Dublin's Doorstep are some of the foremost destinations in Ireland.

If you are worried about getting around, you can rest assured. Simply rent one of the cars from Dublin car rental services. You might be able to negotiate and get a good price if you rent the car for a few weeks.

Driving around the country areas of Ireland is not difficult. Stop and eat as you please. Go wherever you want, whenever you feel like doing so. Indeed, renting a car seems like a wise move. It gives you and your family the perfect chance to discover the secrets and natural beauty of Ireland and enjoy everything that is purely Irish.
