I never even THOUGHT of visiting Ireland until I got sent there, on a job. The job site was a small town between Cork and Killarney. WOW! On weekends, when I could take a break, I traveled the back roads, through the countryside and down to the ocean. I couldn't BELIEVE the sights. If you're planning a trip to Europe...DON'T MISS IRELAND.
Sadly it's poorly connected if you don't want to fly. I keep looking for ways to go there and ending up not visiting. They could use their own Eurostar tunnel :)
I've been to Dublin and have not been too impressed. The main reason for it probably was that I actually wanted to go to London but compromised on Dublin because of terrorism threats in London. The second reason was that a former friend sent me nasty mails while I was there, and the third reason was that the hot water in my B&B didn't work and the stupid owner would not let me leave earlier! 🥶 But that was 17 years ago, and I would like to check out Belfast one day, now that you can. (80s girl writing here.)
Did everyone in Ireland get this as one of their recommend videos, this guy gets it 100%, love the part where he highlighted our swearing, he's welcome anytime hahaha
We have a good friend from Ireland that married one of our other friends. We miss that cursing after 30 + years in America for her, but every once in a while it slips out! :D
@@ikawba00 Ah sure if you're ever in Dublin I'll give ya some pointers or a locals tour haha. Tip #1 start saving NOW. Dublin is expensive especially for tourists (more so for Americans, but idk where you're from)!
Great video! I'm from Chicago but moved to Ireland 5 years ago, as well as coming here as a tourist a few times. Your suggestions are very spot on. I just wanted to add one more don't: DON'T drive in Dublin! If you're going to rent a car, rent it to drive out of Dublin. If you stay in Dublin for a couple days, or even a few days, you're not going to want to drive nor park in the City Centre, it's a nightmare especially for tourists. Walk and/or use the Luas or buses. I always recommend beginning in Dublin, spend a night or two there and then rent your car to drive away into the countryside.
Too right. I fucking HATE driving in Dublin. It's even worse since the Luas lines were connected. I just park out at the Mad Cow and take the Luas in, way easier.
I visited Dublin with some mates. We all absolutely loved it. It's not like a city, never mind a capital. More like a huge village, where everyone is treated with respect and good humour. Everyone so friendly, even the young people. Not like Britain, where tourists are tolerated and young folk despise anyone over 30. I've Irish relatives and absolutely love their sense of humour and banter. So open, and honest
The Irish invented banter and a sense of humour. Although not all out citizens are as so friendly etc, as for our youth, some of them are the most vile disrespectful POS you'll ever meet, and that my own relations I'm referring to. Especially these days now, some of the teenagers/young adults are absolutely scum. Sure a pregnant woman was beaten within an inch of her life back in August, like who on earth is scummy enough to not just hit a woman, but a heavily pregnant woman. Even if it was my own son, I'd still torture the c**t and make him experience pain on same level. I shouldn't even insult c**ts by putting scum like that in the same category, after all a c**t can be useful
@davekk51 I think this lad is a bot account from The Irish Tourism Board. Either that or he didn't understand the accent when he ran into a nob head 😂
Do Irish people get upset when Irish Americans see them as kin? It's strange because we are still genetically Irish yet we are clearly not Irish citizens. I wish my family hadn't left cause the US sucks.
I'm Canadian and my ancestors left Ireland during the famine so have no connection. Q: Does the average person on the street in Ireland and Northern Ireland hate each other? Sorry if it's a dumb question.
Here is a tip! When you order a pint of Guinness at the bar, just know that you have to wait a little while. The barman will fill the glass 2/3 of the way up and then they let it sit for a minute or two and then fill up the rest of the glass.
You see, i made this mistake! She poured it like 3/4ths of the way, and then just left the bar. So i thought she forgot, so i walked over to get the glass. She came bavk shortly, and informed me of this. Luckily, she was so nice about it! I didn't know!!! Hahaha
American woman in a hotel I was staying at in Athlone literally did that last week. She asked to speak to the Manager as the barman had only filled her husbands glass 3/4 of the way. I nearly died laughing.
I have some other don'ts. Don't be afriad of northern Ireland it's safe most of the time. Don't drink in temple bar. Don't say that Ireland is part of the UK only northern Ireland is. Don't be shocked by the public transport buses can be late and overcrowded, but it takes you to all major cities, don't forget your rain coat. Don't be shocked by how expensive Ireland is compared to other countries. Dont be shocked by the natual beauty. Enjoy your trip
*Don't* be shocked by the natural beauty? That'd be like half the reason I'd go there, being shocked by how stunningly beautiful it is would be the whole point!
It rains a whole lot of the time, that's why people in Ireland are broke because they say save your money for a rainy day, and we spend our money because it rains almost everyday
as a person who was born in Ireland I think it is one of the most beautiful places in the world, the hills and mountains add a extra gorgeous tint to it.
@ordinaryopinion4081 If you're a Republican, you'll be fine with the cognisant Irish, but if you're on the other side of the aisle, I'd stay across the pond if I were you!!😊
Don't go to pubs in Temple Bar-you won't find any Irish people and you'll pay way too much for a pint. Also,seeing as it's March, don't,and I can't stress this enough,DO NOT EVER,EVER,call it St."Patty's Day!!!!!😁😁
I totally missed that St Patty's one... that is on me. My bad and I knew that too! thanks for the add! I do have the don'ts of Dublin coming for later this month and i will make sure to mention the temple bar stuff :)
Most of my favorite indie Irish musicians come to the US for March, the Green- cha-ching month. I'm in it for the music. Not March. And St. Patty's, oh fearless no.
Castle stairs were designed uneven and hard to navigate especially going up, so if an invading army got into the castle the defenders knew the stairs and could get up but the attackers didn't know what to expect so trying to navigate the stairs while being hacked at just gave another advantage to the defenders.
@@feralbluee And what's more the stairs were always turning in the same direction so those coming up couldn't use a sword in their right hand as there was a wall to stop them swinging properly with their right hand where as those coming down could use their right hand..
I am from Ireland and moved in 2004. Ive lived in such beautiful place from Guatemala, Uganda, UK, USA, to Belgium and South Africa. But nothing compares to the warmth and love of Ireland and the Irish people
Just so you know... We LOVE Ireland! It makes a great buddy trip, family trip, solo trip, first time abroad trip, just go and enjoy... so of course DON'T forget to visit Ireland!
Wolters World Love the videos! And thanks for being so respectful to our country and culture. Irish / Northern Irish myself Could you do Northern Ireland You haven’t done it yet ....kinda similar but I think Americans should know a few things before coming to Northern Ireland aswell as the history.
@@Jack-ri5wm I have been a couple times to the North (you see a few pictures pop up) but it was pre-Wolters World. So we are going to take a family road trip back to Ireland in 2020 and we are taking the kids to the North as well, so those Northern Ireland videos will be coming. Just going to be a bit (originally was going to be October 2019, but family birthday trip changed so it got pushed back to 2020). But we are going again :)
@Wolters World Oh as you know, I am fully aware. Heck, even I get stressed when I see you post an Ireland video...can't imagine your trepidation. 😂 Perhaps you should pin a disclaimer on all your DON'Ts videos as to not be so obvious. 😉
Altho it does rain more in ireland during a year than it is sunny i dont mean just plsin weather than probsly it rains 35% of the year not factual dust my accurt asumtion in a year maybe july,june or augest its more like 80/20 ratio so
Just came back after spending 8 days in Ireland 🇮🇪. Had the best time ever. Took four day trips out of Dublin and covered lot of ground. Ireland is so well connected. We did not rent a car, and used trains, DART and booked day trips with PaddyWagon, Wild Rover and Irish railway tours and we booked them thru viator. Did the Dublin on our own and took DART to Howth, a beautiful seaside fishing town outside Dublin. Worth the visit. This guy is spot on. Loved Ireland, loved the people and the food and not to mention the Guinness beer. My favorite beer now. LOVED IT!! Thank you Ireland for your hospitality!!🙏💐🇮🇪🙏 Love from San Francisco California 🇺🇸
Howth isn't outside Dublin, it's in Dublin and is even part of the city not just the county. It's part of Dublin 13. I've a good friend living on the Howth Road
@@imahappycamper2022 I've always wanted to visit Howth. I've flown over it many times when visiting Dublin. I've since found out that the Dart goes there and so there's a good chance I'll get to go there this summer.. I guess there's one or two good pubs there.... Is that right.?
Yeah there'd be a few around, it's more known for fish and chips though. There's a nice nature walk around the cliffs/coastline, and Irelands oldest swimming pool is there
I was on a road trip through Ireland this summer and out of two weeks it was raining on two days for a few hours. NOT EVEN THE WHOLE DAY!! Ireland is probably the most beautiful country and it’s so underrated!
Americans thinking Ireland is unsafe when Ireland is in the top ten safest countries in the world to put that in perspective The USA does not even make it in the top 100 safest countries
Seriously people racism is so stupid its a colour get over it. What happened happened its in the past move on. A colour doesnt define a person what they stand for or how they act. They decide those things for them selves.
I agree with everything you said. I've been to Ireland 7 times and I'm the type of person who never goes to the same place twice, so that says it all. It is one of a kind in this world of ours where beauty and serenity, laughter and music come together, all wrapped up in myths and legends, and sprinkled with fairy dust and FANtastic people
Another don't- never EVER say top of the morning to you in ireland if you value your irish friends lol Edit: thanks for the likes! And also, it's a joke don't take it seriously! I'm sorry if I somehow offended you.
I'm Irish and Ireland is a Neutral Country. We absolutely love tourists. I'm in a town called Athlone and we have the River Shannon and you can rent out a boat or go on the Viking boat. You cannot smoke in the pubs
Our local, 🇮🇪 + International 'Shantymen,' use to sing the Song about your Fair town. 'On the ... SHORES? of Athlone'? I miss them! 🎻They broke up. And, Our (66th?) Annual, "St. PADDY'S Day Parade" has been TL. Fuk'd, 3 Years running! :-( Our 'harbinger of Spring,' in✋.
I would've loved to have been there when they told the Irish they couldn't smoke in pubs anymore... Goes something like; "B-b-but..... you know we live in pubs, right?"
No. Ireland is not a neutral country as we allow the American military refuel their planes at Shannon Airport on their way to bomb the arse out of the Middle East.
My tips as an Irish person. 1. Drink driving is totally banned don't think u can have one full beer and drive. 2. Don't be shocked when we use the word c*nt casually. 3. Achill Island or Donegal are fantastic to visit if u like hiking and want to get away from the touristy bullshit like temple bar. 4. You don't need to tip. 5. Go to bars in the country side. Most people are really friendly and want to hear your story and background. Often the bars that look the most run down are in fact the best bars to go to. 6. It does rain a lot and can be really windy. We are on the Atlantic and the weather rolls in from the sea mostly. That's why we like warm pubs. 7. Try kinnegar beer. It's awesome. 8. Irish do tend to drink more volume of beer. It's not uncommon for someone to drink 8pints of beer. 9. Have fun and if you have questions put them below.
@@isaacmaya123 what kinda holidays do you like. Do u prefer being in the city or more a rural area out in the countryside. When you say the southern states do you mean non Caucasian. The Irish are generally very welcoming to everyone of all races and backgrounds. Because the English tried to colonise Ireland and treated us like slaves back hundreds of years ago we are often sympathetic to all cultures.
@@isaacmaya123 Galway, Mayo, Sligo and Donegal have great coastlines and there are some awesome places to stay around there. If you want to experience real old school Irish culture they are found in places called 'gaeltachts' where you will actually find people speaking both Irish and English as their language. My favourite holiday is on achill Island and we go camping there. There is a Greenway there now with is a dedicated bicycle path. West Galway also has Gaeltacht areas as does Donegal.
Just spent 16 days in Ireland 🇮🇪. We had a wonderful time and met many great locals. Glad I didn’t break any of your rules! Thanks Tony who took two strangers all over limerick . Also thanks Brandon who drove us home from the hurling match when there was a mix up with our cab. Irish people are the friendliest in the world.
I'm pretty happy with this guide to Ireland! A couple extras.. don't forget to go hiking (Coumshigaun, Croagh Patrick, Mt. Erigal, Slievemor, the Galtees, etc.) and don't forget our native language is Irish/Gaeilge so while most of the countries population has more English than Irish there will be plenty of signs in Irish for example the Mná and Fir bathroom signs from the video. The Troubles are long past and I'd be surprised if anyone outside of ROI and the UK knew what that was xD Please do visit. Watching this video made me wish I wasn't born here just so I could visit and experience it fresh again for the first time. ~ A proud Irishman
tip if you want to, ffs people in the service industry aren't paid enough per hour and earn most of their money through tips. If you can't afford Temple bar then go somewhere cheaper.
Orla O Donovan Irish people tip at restaurants and where they’d sit down to have a proper meal, not like a McDonald’s, and would also tip if they went out to a bar for drinks with their friends and had a few rounds, so long as the service wasn’t shit. The only reason an Irish person wouldn’t tip is if they’re from Cavan haha.
Orla O Donovan because the food is more expensive doesn’t make tipping unnecessary. Do you think when you pay for the food that a percentage of that goes to the waitress or something? Some people never worked in the hospitality industry and it really shows...
@@David-jc9hl The people working in the irish hospitality industry have a true minimum wage, unlike america where the tip is considered as part of the minimum wage. Tipping in ireland is a compliment, not a necessity.
If you don't want to drive, as a seasoned traveler, I'd highly recommend staying in one place for several nights, and taking a day tour to the areas around you. There are tons of companies that will take a van or bus full of people around for the day, and give you a ton of information that give what you're looking at so much more context than driving around by yourself. It also saves you wasting most of your time getting from one city to the next, having to check in/out, and moving all of your baggage
Seems like a nice guy but when he speaks all I hear is the ski instructor from the south park Aspen episode. " if you do this in Ireland you're gonna have a bad time".In all seriousness he speaks highly of my country so fairplay to the fella.
The beauty of traveling is to enjoy the culture you’re in. I’m from Ireland but have enjoyed the delights of Poland, France, Canada, USA, Germany, Portugal and Britain. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and not all tourist attractions are attractive to all tourists. Meet the people at all costs. Again remember some people in every country are not friendly but don’t judge the whole country by them. Always try the local dish(food) and beer of course. You’re on holidays, enjoy it
If a Frenchie says we have good food, that says it all. :D J'ai oublié si c'est mal á dire , et pour ça je suis vraiment désolé si j'ai blessé une française. :)
I love meeting Americans in Ireland, you're always so excited about being here. Irish people love talking to foreigners, we get to show off our country. If you want to easily interact with Irish people at the pub, go out to the smoking area, that's where a lot of people go to talk. Also please come to the countryside, it's completely different to Dublin. Country people love Americans (and everyone else). Plus, Ireland isn't old fashioned anymore , if you're LGBT or whatever, you will be accepted here. And if someone says anything about it, I'm sure you'll find a couple Irish people to help you beat them up.
I'm so glad to hear this! Thank you for sharing :) to be quite honest, and especially after "President" Dickhead, I've been scared to travel because I think everyone will just hate me... I travel anyway, of course, but that anxiety is always present in my mind. There are certainly Americans who are assholes, but it scares me to think that everyone will just immediately have this negative impression if I ever say I'm from the US. I can't wait to visit one day!
@@shanelynch7964 Put a shot of Jameson in a half of pint of Guinness. Then you drop shot of Bailey's in it and chug it really fast before the Bailey's curdles.
Wow, seems like some people are getting wound up about a helpful tip on pronunciation 😅 maybe don’t assign intention based on your perception or assumptions.
Congratulations for your video. You really said everything about Ireland. I lived in Dublin last 2 years and was the most brilliant experience of my life. Enjoy Ireland guys
@@Jockster109 no they aren't 😂😂 Britain is the island of Scotland Wales and England. Northern Ireland is joined with them in the United Kingdom of great Britain and northern Ireland. So no northern Ireland people are not British. They are Irish because of there geographical location.
@@Jockster109 people from Britain are British. Northern Ireland is not part of Britain. It's part of the United Kingdom. They are 2 different things you mug
@@rtsharlotte what about the beer? Ireland is famous for its stouts and porters. Foodwise it's better known for the quality of its beef, bacon and dairy products, but the food culture is similar to the UK in that international food is more popular than the local fare.
Solid advice here, pretty much everything he says is correct. First me the most important points he brings up are don't let Dublin prices put you off, the rest of the country is much more affordable, be very careful on country roads, small roads big tractors, be patient and pull in, and don't ever EVER call us British or English, we're not. It's pretty much the only thing that will truly upset an Irish person. So yeah, overall good advice here, well done!!
@BlueBoy 1 That's typical of the stupidity you get from a lot of them. Just about every single one of them also support Glasgow Celtic another British team.
@Cian Rainsford Really? So you support teams from places you all claim to despise. Maybe you should read the original post to get the gist of the point!
as an irish person, i 100% reccomend going to Doolin ( within County Clare). there is a campsite nearby, so if you have a tent i do suggest going there. the Cliffs of Moher are only about a 15-30 minute drive away, and if your in the campsite you can book a ferry to the Aran islands. ALSO nearby is the Aillwee cave. again about a 15-30 minute drive. *great explanations, i agree with alot of these points*
@@fe5018 from personal experience (my dads van) please expect a car coming on a back road at 70km/h......you've been warned, the whiplash will probably effect my 12 yr old self worse though (For reference my dads a farmer, he does pull in but like.......bloody terrifying xd)
I was working in Ontario as a camp counsellor for ten weeks during this summer, and it shocked me when coming back all the things I missed - the food, the people, the culture, EVERYTHING. I may have been one homesick lad, but when you're not in touch with your people for so long, it feels so good to come back, and kinda overwhelming too to taste actual flavor in the food, as well as the kindness in peoples' souls. Letting any Canadian know, please give Ireland a try! You'll be shocked at the flavor of food here! It's simply incredible and quite underestimated. By the way, Schweppes Ginger Ale here is licensed by Canada Dry, so if you're missing home please give it a try!
For all the tourists waiting to come to Ireland after COVID, Claire and the Burren are a great place to start! From Lisdoonvarna to the Cliffs of Moher, it's a lovely place
The steps are designed to be hazardous. It is a defensive move. You will find rounded steps and very little handrails. That is to protect the castle, in warfare. Ireland is VERY safe. Just don't be stupid. Check out the National Leprechaun Museum, in Dublin, in the Jarvis section. It isn't much, but worth the time for a whimsical visit.
Gazza North No. The Irish starved because the English actively exported food from Ireland during the famine. Records show that there was any amount of food in the country, but the poor Irish couldn't afford it. Absentee English landlords refused to do without their rent which meant that the starving poor, unable to pay, were kicked off their land. Most landlords saw it as a way to extract even more money from the land by replacing the poor with people who could pay or with livestock. The Irish died in their droves along the road side. The British government, following the teachings of the Rev Thomas Malthus, stood idly by waiting for population and agricultural production to fall into balance. No wonder Californian schools teach the Irish famine as a genocide. Remember too, this happened when Ireland was an integral part of the United Kingdom which was the richest, most powerful country in the world at the time. A bitter, bitter time for Ireland. A shameful time for Britain. I'm sorry you feel it a subject worthy of mocking...
@@dunneincrewgear Boo hoo. There's an abundance of food at your grasp and as usual the Irish play the victim card and blame the big bad Brits for their own failings. How pathetic is that? Ffs you're like helpless children. "Please feed us mummy" Go learn to fish or hunt game instead of crying when your spuds go off. Even now you still run with the begging bowl to the British and Brussels wanting handouts and loans. Your self pitying whinging and scrounging over the centuries has got quite boring. Away dry your eyes and change the record Zzzzzzz
From all the pictures I've seen the whole island is just one beautiful place. Of course pictures don't do it justice so I hope to spend a month there in the near future.
@@BillGreenAZ I live in the northwest so naturally i want more tourists going to that area.Generally its the edges of ireland that most scenic there are areas further inland like meath kilkenny tipperary that are interesting.Depends on your perspective of course if you live in huge city in western america where it doesn't rain for months green farmland in the flat midlands is beautiful for locals its taken for granted.
I've been there twice now, for about 6 weeks combined....can't wait to go back! I love the Irish people, they are so friendly and love to talk. My next trip will be a walking tour through Western Ireland.
YOu might also enjoy renting a pleasure boat (with sleeping space) to travel the River Shannon. They're for rent in Carrick-on-Shannon. Stunning scenery and wildlife. Fishing too.
Another person from Ireland just saying well done this is very good. So glad you said to get outside Dublin! Agree about Temple Bar, you won't find too many Irish people there, it's mostly tourists and very expensive!
It’s so fun hearing people get so excited about Ireland and like gealic and stuff. I’m entirely Irish and have lived here all of my life so all of this is just engraved in me
I live just north of Cincinnati Ohio. My wife's whole family is from Ireland and many still living there. She is the most beautiful Ginger I've ever seen to this day. And we can't wait to get to Ireland. Love your place guys it looks beautiful
Dublin isn't that glamorous of a city and there isn't much to see in it. The best part of Ireland is the Wild Atlantic Way which is a route that goes from the north west coast in Donegal to the south in Cork .
@@albertmccready478 Absolutely - I loved Dublin. Other parts of Ireland are also great obviously but Dublin has just the right mix of being relaxed compared with other places in the world and that capital city buzz.
I've walked the whole circumferences of the Dingle and Beara Peninsulas, but have never been to the Ring of Kerry, only on the base of the Iveragh. I've also been to the Burren, Aran Islands, and Connemara. Yes, I've also enjoyed Dublin, plus Waterford, Kinsale, and Galway. Several years ago, I walked all the way across Ireland, from Dublin to the Beara. I loved the Wicklow Mountains, and the Beara was so green and wild. I think I enjoyed the Beara the most.
@@Pocockable As an ignorant Englishman I hadn't realised how lovely the Ring of Beara is until we went over. I'm not sure we didn't prefer it to the obviously better known Kerry version.

@@bigbeatmanifesto6517 Don't talk shite. The GAA is a coldhouse for anyone from a unionist background. Any that have dared play were hounded out of the sport due to vile sectarian abuse. Ask the young Graham fella what happened to him when playing for Fermanagh. Sick bigoted bastards. Is it any surprise when the GAA still name their grounds and competitions after IRA/INLA terrorists. Hold IRA commemoration events in their grounds and fly a foreign flag and sing a foreign anthem in their N Ireland grounds. They are nothing more than a semi political anti British rabble. So stop trying to cover up for these hatefilled bigots you clueless moron.

@@DetectiveSoup101 oh no, where are you? Trust me if I could send it to places it’s needed, I gladly would. Sometimes living in Ireland is like permanently being trapped in an episode of Spongebob 😫
I guess I was as lucky as he was! Lol I went in May a few years ago with my sister, and out of the 12 days we were there, it rained once that we got caught in. All the rest of the times, we’d leave our hotels to see the ground drying up. It seemed to rain overnight while we slept!
I'm irish myself and I'm from longford and most pubs let kids in a lot later than 9. Like my father would just pass the pub and be like "liam, if ya let me go into the pub I'll get you a club orange"
I think we're mostly Irish watching for the craic, but this has genuinely refreshed my appreciation for the country and I love the energy you have! Usually videos are not as accurate as this so thank you
I am from Ireland and my cousins from USA has visited more places in Ireland than I have. I just don't get out much and I too rarely travel outside my hometown.
I'm a lot like you. I'm a homebody. A friend of mine once joked that his friends called him zip code because he never left his. I told him I could definitely understand and it could be my nickname to. I'm kind of an introvert.
Went to Ireland 20 years ago. I am an American of Irish descent. I stayed in the northern part, town of Malahide, and loved it. You are right about the driving. Kind of a scary thing for Americans. But we made it. LOVED the people!!! So friendly!!! Countryside had the greenest grass I have ever seen. Beautiful! I truly felt I had come home. I wanted to move there and open a toy store. Alas, I had to return to America.

I just wanted to add one more don't: DON'T drive in Dublin! If you're going to rent a car, rent it to drive out of Dublin. If you stay in Dublin for a couple days, or even a few days, you're not going to want to drive nor park in the City Centre, it's a nightmare especially for tourists. Walk and/or use the Luas or buses. I always recommend beginning in Dublin, spend a night or two there and then rent your car to drive away into the countryside.
@Ordinary Opinion I'm married to a Dublin man, so it wasn't that much of a stretch for us. 😊
Too right. I fucking HATE driving in Dublin. It's even worse since the Luas lines were connected. I just park out at the Mad Cow and take the Luas in, way easier.
If your on the Eastern part of Dublin use the DART
We took a taxi to and from Dublin at night.
As someone who is also from Chicago, how similar is the driving and parking in relation with Dublin?

@woogangpea:What makes you think he's Irish?
I visited Dublin with some mates. We all absolutely loved it. It's not like a city, never mind a capital. More like a huge village, where everyone is treated with respect and good humour.
Everyone so friendly, even the young people. Not like Britain, where tourists are tolerated and young folk despise anyone over 30.
I've Irish relatives and absolutely love their sense of humour and banter. So open, and honest
The Irish invented banter and a sense of humour. Although not all out citizens are as so friendly etc, as for our youth, some of them are the most vile disrespectful POS you'll ever meet, and that my own relations I'm referring to. Especially these days now, some of the teenagers/young adults are absolutely scum. Sure a pregnant woman was beaten within an inch of her life back in August, like who on earth is scummy enough to not just hit a woman, but a heavily pregnant woman. Even if it was my own son, I'd still torture the c**t and make him experience pain on same level. I shouldn't even insult c**ts by putting scum like that in the same category, after all a c**t can be useful
Treat with respect😂😂, what bloody Dublin to you go to????

The cuisine in Ireland has always been excellent. The freshness of the butter, milk, cream, cheese, potatoes and veg is unparalleled.
Those are my favorite food groups.
I agree. I don’t know about “always,” but my husband and I traveled in Ireland in the ‘90s and early 2000s, and we found a lot of great food.
Organic farmers. Gotta love em. I'm part Irish. Always wished I could go. Even consider moving there.
the potatoes are so good 😂

Here is a tip!
When you order a pint of Guinness at the bar, just know that you have to wait a little while. The barman will fill the glass 2/3 of the way up and then they let it sit for a minute or two and then fill up the rest of the glass.
Yes i seen an american try to take a pint when it was setteling and the bar man was just like wtf are you doing 😂😂
Some things can't be rushed
You see, i made this mistake! She poured it like 3/4ths of the way, and then just left the bar. So i thought she forgot, so i walked over to get the glass. She came bavk shortly, and informed me of this. Luckily, she was so nice about it! I didn't know!!! Hahaha
@@vmd0734 😂
American woman in a hotel I was staying at in Athlone literally did that last week. She asked to speak to the Manager as the barman had only filled her husbands glass 3/4 of the way. I nearly died laughing.

Castle stairs were designed uneven and hard to navigate especially going up, so if an invading army got into the castle the defenders knew the stairs and could get up but the attackers didn't know what to expect so trying to navigate the stairs while being hacked at just gave another advantage to the defenders.

Just came back after spending 8 days in Ireland 🇮🇪. Had the best time ever. Took four day trips out of Dublin and covered lot of ground. Ireland is so well connected. We did not rent a car, and used trains, DART and booked day trips with PaddyWagon, Wild Rover and Irish railway tours and we booked them thru viator. Did the Dublin on our own and took DART to Howth, a beautiful seaside fishing town outside Dublin. Worth the visit. This guy is spot on. Loved Ireland, loved the people and the food and not to mention the Guinness beer. My favorite beer now. LOVED IT!! Thank you Ireland for your hospitality!!🙏💐🇮🇪🙏 Love from San Francisco California 🇺🇸

My tips as an Irish person. 1. Drink driving is totally banned don't think u can have one full beer and drive. 2. Don't be shocked when we use the word c*nt casually. 3. Achill Island or Donegal are fantastic to visit if u like hiking and want to get away from the touristy bullshit like temple bar. 4. You don't need to tip. 5. Go to bars in the country side. Most people are really friendly and want to hear your story and background. Often the bars that look the most run down are in fact the best bars to go to. 6. It does rain a lot and can be really windy. We are on the Atlantic and the weather rolls in from the sea mostly. That's why we like warm pubs. 7. Try kinnegar beer. It's awesome. 8. Irish do tend to drink more volume of beer. It's not uncommon for someone to drink 8pints of beer. 9. Have fun and if you have questions put them below.

@@isaacmaya123 what kinda holidays do you like. Do u prefer being in the city or more a rural area out in the countryside. When you say the southern states do you mean non Caucasian.

@@isaacmaya123 Galway, Mayo, Sligo and Donegal have great coastlines and there are some awesome places to stay around there.

If you’re drinking in Temple Bar never tip! It’s probably the most expensive place to drink in Ireland already!!!
tip if you want to, ffs people in the service industry aren't paid enough per hour and earn most of their money through tips. If you can't afford Temple bar then go somewhere cheaper.
Orla O Donovan Irish people tip at restaurants and where they’d sit down to have a proper meal, not like a McDonald’s, and would also tip if they went out to a bar for drinks with their friends and had a few rounds, so long as the service wasn’t shit. The only reason an Irish person wouldn’t tip is if they’re from Cavan haha.
Orla O Donovan because the food is more expensive doesn’t make tipping unnecessary. Do you think when you pay for the food that a percentage of that goes to the waitress or something? Some people never worked in the hospitality industry and it really shows...
@@David-jc9hl The people working in the irish hospitality industry have a true minimum wage, unlike america where the tip is considered as part of the minimum wage. Tipping in ireland is a compliment, not a necessity.

If you don't want to drive, as a seasoned traveler, I'd highly recommend staying in one place for several nights, and taking a day tour to the areas around you.
There are tons of companies that will take a van or bus full of people around for the day, and give you a ton of information that give what you're looking at so much more context than driving around by yourself.
It also saves you wasting most of your time getting from one city to the next, having to check in/out, and moving all of your baggage
what if you're traveling by yourself, and cant use a bus or a van?

Also please come to the countryside, it's completely different to Dublin.
Country people love Americans (and everyone else).
Plus, Ireland isn't old fashioned anymore , if you're LGBT or whatever, you will be accepted here.

@@rtsharlotte it had improved anlot un the oast 15 to 20 years, but food even in the early 90s was awful unless you were getting standard Irish fair.
@@rtsharlotte what about the beer? Ireland is famous for its stouts and porters.
Foodwise it's better known for the quality of its beef, bacon and dairy products, but the food culture is similar to the UK in that international food is more popular than the local fare.
Even a med. rare steak comes out med well. All hamburgers by Irish law have to be well done.
Dylanhs10 ya it’s pretty lush
Solid advice here, pretty much everything he says is correct.
First me the most important points he brings up are don't let Dublin prices put you off, the rest of the country is much more affordable, be very careful on country roads, small roads big tractors, be patient and pull in, and don't ever EVER call us British or English, we're not. It's pretty much the only thing that will truly upset an Irish person.
So yeah, overall good advice here, well done!!
Calling us English is pretty much the same as call a Canadian an American 😂 like bitch we ain’t part of that bullshit
@BlueBoy 1 That's typical of the stupidity you get from a lot of them. Just about every single one of them also support Glasgow Celtic another British team.
@Cian Rainsford Really? So you support teams from places you all claim to despise. Maybe you should read the original post to get the gist of the point!
as an irish person, i 100% reccomend going to Doolin ( within County Clare). there is a campsite nearby, so if you have a tent i do suggest going there. the Cliffs of Moher are only about a 15-30 minute drive away, and if your in the campsite you can book a ferry to the Aran islands. ALSO nearby is the Aillwee cave. again about a 15-30 minute drive. *great explanations, i agree with alot of these points*
Don’t EVER even imply that we are part of the UK
Amen to that
Jay M who taught you that? The English? them bastards.
Well, it is in the British Isles.
@@Lilínib Uhhh.... the Island is called Ireland.

Watch out for farmers. They couldn't care less that you are a tourist. The road is theirs.
that is true. :)
Same Everywhere..... 😁
And it is their daily life. Respect the farmer.
That's so weird. Virtually all the farmers/tractors I encounter are sound they'll pull in at an appropriate spot to let cars pass.
@@fe5018 from personal experience (my dads van) please expect a car coming on a back road at 70km/h......you've been warned, the whiplash will probably effect my 12 yr old self worse though
(For reference my dads a farmer, he does pull in but like.......bloody terrifying xd)
I’m Irish and the way he said cussing instead of cursing 🤣🤣
Well he is a yank so uses 'cussing'
Cussing means the same thing as cursing in America
in Canada we swear, don't know why, just do.
Ruby James beautiful story my dude
Yeah every youtuber I watch say cussing I say cursing
I was working in Ontario as a camp counsellor for ten weeks during this summer, and it shocked me when coming back all the things I missed - the food, the people, the culture, EVERYTHING. I may have been one homesick lad, but when you're not in touch with your people for so long, it feels so good to come back, and kinda overwhelming too to taste actual flavor in the food, as well as the kindness in peoples' souls.
Letting any Canadian know, please give Ireland a try! You'll be shocked at the flavor of food here! It's simply incredible and quite underestimated. By the way, Schweppes Ginger Ale here is licensed by Canada Dry, so if you're missing home please give it a try!
For all the tourists waiting to come to Ireland after COVID, Claire and the Burren are a great place to start! From Lisdoonvarna to the Cliffs of Moher, it's a lovely place
I live in clare
From the Burren, to the Cliffs of Moher, the Tulla and the Kilfenore
I cannot wait to visit Ireland again. I hope by my 50th birthday in September things will be better covid wise so I can go
And make sure to have a pint (or two) at Fitzpatrick's in Doolin.
I know loads of Claires and none of them would like to be called a place.
Im irish. Dublins lovely but try and visit other parts of Ireland. 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Very nice country!!!!!!

The steps are designed to be hazardous. It is a defensive move. You will find rounded steps and very little handrails. That is to protect the castle, in warfare.
Ireland is VERY safe. Just don't be stupid.
Check out the National Leprechaun Museum, in Dublin, in the Jarvis section. It isn't much, but worth the time for a whimsical visit.
The cliffs are not in Galway!!! Why do people not look at a map and realize this!? It’s in COUNTY CLARE
IKR!
The best cliffs are in cork
Hon Clare
I was going to comment the same thing. The cliffs of Moher are in Liscannor, County Clare.
Up Galway 🇱🇻🇱🇻
We dont say top of the moring
Yes you do. Let's face it. The Irish are a bit daft.
Gazza North
We don't. It's just Hollywood nonsense. Also, it's quite ironic someone called Gazza telling the Irish we're daft...
@@dunneincrewgear We're not the ones that starved because we didn't have enough spuds to eat lol Now that's dumb!
Gazza North
No. The Irish starved because the English actively exported food from Ireland during the famine. Records show that there was any amount of food in the country, but the poor Irish couldn't afford it. Absentee English landlords refused to do without their rent which meant that the starving poor, unable to pay, were kicked off their land. Most landlords saw it as a way to extract even more money from the land by replacing the poor with people who could pay or with livestock. The Irish died in their droves along the road side. The British government, following the teachings of the Rev Thomas Malthus, stood idly by waiting for population and agricultural production to fall into balance. No wonder Californian schools teach the Irish famine as a genocide.
Remember too, this happened when Ireland was an integral part of the United Kingdom which was the richest, most powerful country in the world at the time.
A bitter, bitter time for Ireland. A shameful time for Britain.
I'm sorry you feel it a subject worthy of mocking...
@@dunneincrewgear Boo hoo. There's an abundance of food at your grasp and as usual the Irish play the victim card and blame the big bad Brits for their own failings. How pathetic is that? Ffs you're like helpless children. "Please feed us mummy" Go learn to fish or hunt game instead of crying when your spuds go off. Even now you still run with the begging bowl to the British and Brussels wanting handouts and loans. Your self pitying whinging and scrounging over the centuries has got quite boring. Away dry your eyes and change the record Zzzzzzz
if you're on the bus, don't forget to thank the bus driver when you get off :)

I am loving this country already😍
1:10 living In Ireland, it does still rain like 80 percent of the time though, it’s just the sunny days are very sunny
Americans/English:
eye-er-land
Irish: are-land
Like this if ur Irish (like me)
Tysm for the likes!
Ah stop. There's a Canadian in my year at school, and even he's saying it like "are-land" now.

It hurts
Me and my friend start saying shit about IRA and the teacher was so condensending saying we don’t no shit about IRA when we did
Don't forget donegal sligo or mayo in the west and northwest of ireland every bit as beautiful as the southwestern counties.
From all the pictures I've seen the whole island is just one beautiful place. Of course pictures don't do it justice so I hope to spend a month there in the near future.
@@BillGreenAZ I live in the northwest so naturally i want more tourists going to that area.Generally its the edges of ireland that most scenic there are areas further inland like meath kilkenny tipperary that are interesting.Depends on your perspective of course if you live in huge city in western america where it doesn't rain for months green farmland in the flat midlands is beautiful for locals its taken for granted.
Shhhhh dont tell everyone
When did Donegal go from the north west to the west?
County Leitrim is so nice stunning i would say. Was born there....
I've been there twice now, for about 6 weeks combined....can't wait to go back! I love the Irish people, they are so friendly and love to talk. My next trip will be a walking tour through Western Ireland.
I would really like to walk the Kerry Way sometime.
you will love it......
YOu might also enjoy renting a pleasure boat (with sleeping space) to travel the River Shannon. They're for rent in Carrick-on-Shannon. Stunning scenery and wildlife. Fishing too.
A full Irish breakfast will keep you going past lunch. I was amazed.
Another person from Ireland just saying well done this is very good. So glad you said to get outside Dublin! Agree about Temple Bar, you won't find too many Irish people there, it's mostly tourists and very expensive!

It’s so fun hearing people get so excited about Ireland and like gealic and stuff. I’m entirely Irish and have lived here all of my life so all of this is just engraved in me
i remember watching tv in the 70s as a little girl and always thinking it was spanish for some reason lol.. half the day was in gaelic, half english..
What the hell is Gaelic??? It's GAEILGE!!!!!!! That's the Irish language. For someone who is 'entirely Irish' you know nothing about your own country.

Irishman from Waterford homesick in New Zealand, great vid man!
Dublin isn't that glamorous of a city and there isn't much to see in it. The best part of Ireland is the Wild Atlantic Way which is a route that goes from the north west coast in Donegal to the south in Cork .
It’s not glamorous (some parts are) but it is full of life.
A great city. Miles ahead of most places ive been.
@@albertmccready478 Absolutely - I loved Dublin. Other parts of Ireland are also great obviously but Dublin has just the right mix of being relaxed compared with other places in the world and that capital city buzz.
I've walked the whole circumferences of the Dingle and Beara Peninsulas, but have never been to the Ring of Kerry, only on the base of the Iveragh. I've also been to the Burren, Aran Islands, and Connemara. Yes, I've also enjoyed Dublin, plus Waterford, Kinsale, and Galway. Several years ago, I walked all the way across Ireland, from Dublin to the Beara. I loved the Wicklow Mountains, and the Beara was so green and wild. I think I enjoyed the Beara the most.
@@Pocockable As an ignorant Englishman I hadn't realised how lovely the Ring of Beara is until we went over. I'm not sure we didn't prefer it to the obviously better known Kerry version. But let's not let the arguable best be the enemy of the "merely" wonderful. I do envy you the other visits - I'm afraid walking would be beyond me now though.
As a person from Northern Ireland

Loved that you mentioned going to see the gaa. Really underrated thing to do when you’re here and hopefully more people across the globe can enjoy our brilliant sports.
The GAA are a hatefilled bunch of IRA loving tramps. The sectarian scum should be banned.
Croke Park, Dublin, do tours of the stadium, worth doing.
@@gazzanorth4373 I'm English and grew up playing gaelic and not once did anyone ever say anything sectarian to me. So stfu and stop living in the past.
@@bigbeatmanifesto6517 Don't talk shite. The GAA is a coldhouse for anyone from a unionist background. Any that have dared play were hounded out of the sport due to vile sectarian abuse. Ask the young Graham fella what happened to him when playing for Fermanagh. Sick bigoted bastards. Is it any surprise when the GAA still name their grounds and competitions after IRA/INLA terrorists. Hold IRA commemoration events in their grounds and fly a foreign flag and sing a foreign anthem in their N
Ireland grounds. They are nothing more than a semi political anti British rabble. So stop trying to cover up for these hatefilled bigots you clueless moron.

I guess I was as lucky as he was! Lol I went in May a few years ago with my sister, and out of the 12 days we were there, it rained once that we got caught in. All the rest of the times, we’d leave our hotels to see the ground drying up. It seemed to rain overnight while we slept!

Went to Ireland 20 years ago. I am an American of Irish descent. I stayed in the northern part, town of Malahide, and loved it. You are right about the driving. Kind of a scary thing for Americans. But we made it. LOVED the people!!! So friendly!!! Countryside had the greenest grass I have ever seen. Beautiful! I truly felt I had come home. I wanted to move there and open a toy store. Alas, I had to return to America.
Malahide is in the Republic, in County Dublin.
Remember: Make left turns short and right turns long. No problem!
Northern Dublin, you mean 😂
