Synopsis

Spend less, see more. This is the philosophy behind Pauline Frommer’s guides. Written by travel expert Pauline Frommer (who is also the daughter of Arthur Frommer), and her team of hand-picked writers, these guides show how to truly experience a culture, meet locals, and save money along the way.

With Pauline Frommer's Ireland you'll:

Tap into a wealth of affordable accommodations, from coastal cottages with breathtakng sea views, to central city apartments close to all the action in Dublin.
Make Ireland's stunning scenery your backdrop for inexpensive golf, horseback riding, sailing, fishing, cycling, and hiking.
Learn the art of comic improvisation in Cork City, or the volcanic, organic detailing of raku ceramics in West Cork
Discover Belfast and Northern Ireland, where former prisoners are now tour guides and troubled spots are must-see neighborhoods.
Get inside the "other" Ireland and meet locals at art classes, attend backroom folk music jams at the neighborhood pub, visit local markets, and more.

"A great read. . . . Lively and unabashedly opinionated."

-New York Post

budget travel redefined

I put a fresh spin on budget travel, showing you not only how to spend less in Ireland, but how to see it in a more authentic way, without sacrificing comfort for savings.

• Charming accommodations: Instead of spending $300 a night for a bland, chain hotel, rent a 100-year-old stone farmhouse that sleeps six for as little as $53 a night (p. 315) or your own lighthouse for just a bit more (p. 90).
• Food finds: Eat your way through the Emerald Isle affordably, from succulent oysters in Galway (p. 269) to updated Irish stew in Dublin (p. 42).
• Sights and attractions: Discover in-depth histories, outspoken commentary on museums and historic sights, cultural gems such as seaweed baths and pilgrim's treks, and much more.
• Insider's Ireland: Enjoy entrancing evenings of storytelling and traditional music sessions that only the locals know about, cooking classes introducing you to the newly gourmet Irish cuisine (p. 444), and "road bowling" along country lanes (p. 392).

Happy Travels,

Pauline Frommer
