Ireland

Ireland is renowned for its castles, churches, and museums. The country boasts the largest green space in Europe and the longest coastal touring route in the world. In addition to these, visitors can explore scenic mountains, lush valleys, or enjoy various water sports.

It’s important to note that Ireland is not part of the Schengen Area. Therefore, you cannot travel to Ireland with a Schengen visa and will need to apply for a separate tourist visa for entry.
