Editorial Reviews: National Geographic Traveler: Ireland, Second Edition provides in-depth information on Irish history and culture, along with practical travel advice for getting around the enchanted isle. From the cosmopolitan streets of Dublin to the horse-racing stables of County Kildare, from the fabled Ring of Kerry to the Yeats Country surrounding Sligo Town, from a walking tour of Dingle Way to a self-guided drive through the Sperrin Hills of Northern Ireland, from mountain moorlands to eerie bogs, this new edition guides you to memorable attractions throughout Ireland's many storied regions.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Lovely guide to Ireland, but not the most practical Comment: If you plan to purchase several guides to Ireland, this one would be worth adding to your collection. The photographs are beautiful, and the descriptions of sites of interest, while not the most in-depth around, are certainly more than adequate for a book of this type. If you are like me and your budget allows for 2, maybe 3 books, and you are trying to choose from the almost overwhelming number of guidebooks available these days, this is one you can probably skip. The practical information is quite limited compared to other guides, especially with regard to places to stay or eat. This would be an enjoyable book to peruse at home both before and after your trip, and it would be great for an armchair traveler, but I can't see it making its way into many suitcases. It's heavy, and its usefulness once you are in Ireland is limited. If you enjoy a visual, heavy on photographs travel guide, I would recommend you check out Eyewitness Travel's guide to Ireland first. The Eyewitness guides are also gorgeous to look at and fun to read, but a lot more practical. Customer Rating: Summary: Beautiful photos and excellent information Comment: As one would expect, National Geographic did an excellent job on the Ireland book. The photos are beautiful and the information is excellent. It's a good book to have in my collection of travel resources. More Reviews
