Ireland: The Rough GuideInterest in the Emerald Isle continues to grow, as does our coverage. We capture Ireland's new optimism in words -- extensive revisions including updates on the Temple Bar scene and Belfast's burgeoning culinary district -- and pictures -- 12 pages of rich green hills and bright red braids. Also included are eye-opening looks at recent Irish literature, in-depth info on hiking opportunities, and foot-stomping features on finding traditional music. |
