These are the places that will unfold what true character of the place that you are visiting.

Found in County Clare, this castle was first occupied by the Vikings in 970 AD. Since then, many prominent people had occupied this fortress making its history a tapestry of exciting stories. This medieval castle is a top tourist attraction that provides a glimpse of Irish heritage.

Aside from castles, Ireland also boasts on many beautiful cathedrals. The Christ Church Cathedral is one of the famous medieval cathedrals that were restored in the Victorian period. The cathedral is famous for the largest crypt built in Ireland and Britain in 1172-1173. It also contains one of the oldest artifacts and is home to the tomb of Strongbow, a prominent warlord who brought significant English influences to Ireland.

Museums should also be part of your Irish walking tours. The National Museum of Ireland is highly recommendable. It has three centers found in Dublin. The one found in County Mayo is known for its emphasis on Irish art and natural history. The museum is divided into different sections that showcase archeology, decorative arts, country life, and natural history.

There are many exciting places to visit in Ireland. But sad to say, it will be impossible to see all of them if you have limited time and resources when visiting the country.
