Though it has largely recovered from its economic crisis of 2008, Ireland's price structure is still among the most moderate in Europe, and its public is still eager to attract additional tourism. And thus they welcome the visitor with the warmest reception of perhaps any country. The author of this highly-successful guidebook is an enthusiastic observer of that country, who proposed to his Irish-American wife at a spa on the Ring of Kerry (it gets a great review in this book). His love of Ireland is shown on every page, and perhaps accounts for the large sales that this popular, perennial guide enjoys each year. Two hundred eighty-eight pages, an Easy Guide of pithy, personal recommendations.
Its prices greatly reduced by an ongoing economic crisis, but its spirit undaunted and its population as garrulous and outgoing as ever, Ireland has a special appeal to the tourist, as shown by the large yearly number of visitors. Our author, Jack Jewers, may make his headquarters in London, but he proposed to his Irish-American wife at a spa on the Ring of Kerry (it gets a great review in this book). We're sure our readers will enjoy his affectionate guide to the Emerald Isle.
Selling for a lower price than any similar guidebook, and deliberately limited to a short 256 pages, this EasyGuide is an exercise in creating easily-absorbed travel information. It emphasizes the authentic experiences in each destination:the most important attractions, the classic method of approaching a particular destination; the best choices for accommodations and meals; the best ways to maximize the enjoyment of your stay. Because it is "quick to read, light to carry", it is called an "EasyGuide", and reflects Arthur Frommer's lifetime of experience in presenting clear and concise travel advice.
Meant to be carried with you as you travel, this highly portable, concisely-written 288-page book introduces travelers to one of the world's most richly rewarding destinations. It includes all of the nitty gritty details one needs to plan a trip, from hotels and restaurants to try, to savvy tips on the best ways to get around the country. But British author Jack Jewers, who has been writing guidebooks to Ireland since 2006 (and is the proud grandson of an Irishwoman), also provides an affectionate and insightful take on Irish culture and history that will greatly enhance your trip to the Emerald Isle. The book is: - Completely updated every year and printed in large, easy-to-read type. - Packed with helpful maps, including a full-color fold-out map - Precise about pricing, with Euro and British Pound (for Northern Ireland) amounts listed for every attraction, restaurant, hotel, nightspot and shop in the guide--so there aren't any nasty surprises.
- Filled with information on the fascinating culture, history, art history and cuisine of Ireland that will make your visit richer - Laden with no-holds-barred reviews, which will introduce you to the country's most authentic lodgings (hotels, B&B's, castles), eateries, museums, historic and nature sight so you can stretch your budget further, whether you're a luxury-seeker or a backpacker.
