Ireland is a small country, but big on surprises – that’s the message we set out in our first ever Go Ireland list.
The list featured 100 suggestions of things to do, places to stay, great ideas and perfect pubs in Ireland. To compile it, we asked over 50 people deeply immersed in Irish travel, food and culture to highlight what they think should be better known in 2026.
