Visas

Ireland is a land of lush green scenery interlinked with vibrant cities.  Dublin is fast turning into a top tourist attraction for Europe; with fabulous “pub crawls” set against rich artefacts and museums, its quite apparent why. Cork lies between Lee River and is famous for the Protestant St Finbarr's Cathedral, the Cork Museum, the City Hall and various churches and breweries.

Other cities to visit are Derry with its River Foyle, Galway with the Jazz festivals or Waterford with the Holy Trinity Cathedral.
