Spring Break in Ireland -- Something different for Spring Break 2010

Spring Break no longer refers only to the alcohol-drenched, sun-soaked mayhem that takes place on tropical shores. Instead, more and more college students are becoming keen to go further afield and take in a totally new experience. But where can you find breathtaking natural scenery, rich culture, and interesting historical sights without sacrificing the lively nightlife and party vibe of the traditional Spring Break? Spring Break Ireland has the answer.

As a Spring Break destination, the Emerald Isle is drawing in more and more young crowds every year. Its history is long and proud, and you can pack in a lot of sight-seeing activities during your stay. Ancient castles, archaeological sites, famous landmarks, fascinating architecture, and unbelievable natural beauty are all around. And the best thing is that because Ireland is relatively small, you can easily see quite a lot of it during a fairly short stay. Hire a car and travel around at your own pace, taking in everything from the spectacular Irish coast to the sleepy rural villages and bustling modern cities.

Dublin, the capital of Ireland, is without a doubt the place to go for the ultimate Irish night out. Head to the Temple Bar district, where you'll find more bars than you can visit in a night, and the streets packed with bar-hopping students and party-seeking tourists. More often than not, you'll hear traditional Irish music coming from an open bar door or window - live musical entertainment takes place in many pubs, whether it's pre-organized or simply a spontaneous session started by one or two of the locals! And once the pubs start to close for the night, there's always a young crowd heading to the many lively nightclubs in this trendy university city.

The people of Ireland are friendly and welcoming of tourists, and you'll always be able to find someone to strike up a conversation with. And in terms of things to see and do, there's everything from galleries and museums, to pubs and clubs, to breathtaking scenery and historic castles. You can either base yourself in one town or city and take day trips from there, or move around from place to place, which is the preferred choice of many visitors for taking in as much as possible of what Ireland has to offer. If you choose this option, you should also consider including Northern Ireland in your trip - technically part of the UK (which is why the currency is different once you cross the border!), the North has its own sights to offer, including the world famous natural wonder that is the Giant's Causeway, and the lively and culture rich capital city of Belfast.

Wherever you end up in Ireland for Spring Break, a warm Irish welcome (although probably not such warm weather!) awaits you, along with a pint of Guinness and a hearty traditional plate of Irish Stew. Enjoy a different kind of Spring Break, and visit Ireland!
