Rest of Europe

The third largest island in Europe, Ireland lies to the west of Great Britain between the Atlantic Ocean and Irish Sea. It is popularly known as the Emerald Isle, and for good reason. It is covered by lush greenery throughout, with rocky coastlines and rolling green hills dotted by ancient castles and flocks of roaming sheep. And if Ireland must be remembered for one thing only, it may be its incredibly warm hospitality, which is to be found at every turn. There could not be a more welcoming place to journey by bike. Enter its cozy pubs and gourmet restaurants to enjoy fresh local seafood, artisanal cheeses, Connemara lamb, and mussels straight from the fjord while drinking outstanding local beers including the famous Guinness stout and celebrated Irish whiskeys.
