Pauline Frommer's Ireland

"A great read. . . . Lively and unabashedly opinionated."-New York Postbudget travel redefinedI 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 FrommerMellor, Rupert is the author of 'Pauline Frommer's Ireland', published 2009 under ISBN 9780470121726 and ISBN 0470121726.
