Ireland is famously known as the land of a thousand welcomes. Now that the country has lifted all of its Covid travel restrictions, it can get back to what it does best: giving visitors an unforgettable getaway.
We're celebrating Ireland's 32 counties.

There's the wild, windswept west with its Atlantic views, the Cliffs of Moher, legendary surf spots from Dingle to Donegal, live music, and easygoing locals.
The ancient east, where Ireland's High Kings once walked at Tara, aristocrats showed off at Powerscourt, and today's elite settle comfortably into the seaside suburb of Killiney.
The refined south, a longtime favorite with visitors, where lakes, mountains, castles, and grand houses adorn the landscape from Kerry to Waterford.
And the magnificent north, where the Mourne Mountains and the Antrim coast inspired everything from C. S. Lewis's Narnia to HBO's Game of Thrones.
The six counties of Northern Ireland are part of the United Kingdom, so they'll lift their travel restrictions a little later: on March 18, along with their neighbors across the UK.
Browse the gallery above for 32 wonderful reasons to visit these beautiful Irish destinations.
