Because Ireland is mainly visited for city breaks, most people don't realise just how easy the country is to get around. Although Aer Lingus, and other carriers operate the short hops between the main airports, the best way to get around the country is to hire a car, and drive. Throughout Ireland, driving is on the Left, and petrol is reasonably priced. Many people visiting Ireland for a holiday like the romance of hiring a horse drawn gypsy caravan and touring slowly through the leafy countryside.
