Visitor Information

For information on travel in Ireland, contact Tourism Ireland, the international marketing authority for both Fáilte Ireland (pronounced fal-cha), as the tourism development authority is called within the Republic of Ireland, and the Northern Ireland Tourist Board. Tourism Ireland’s website is designed for international travelers planning their trip. Fáilte Ireland runs the network of tourist information offices under the logo Discover Ireland. It's especially useful for those already in the country looking for activities and seasonal events. Information on travel in the North is available from the Northern Ireland Tourist Board.
