By far... the ring of Kerry was the most beautiful part of Ireland. Very scenic... only takes an hour and a half to drive the whole thing... well worth it.

Haven't been thru the whole country and I'm sure all the others that have offered up answers are all correct but my vote goes for Wicklow and specifically the area around Glendalough. Not sure if it was modeled after Heaven or the other way round. By all means GO and come up with your own opinion. You will be forever thankful.

Malahide and hang out on the beach, then go to the castle grounds and relax.

I looooooooooooveeeeee Dublin (it's my favourite city, indeed....even though I'm Italian!)Ring of Kerry, Cork, Limerick and Kilkenny...

Living in Limerick - I have a few western spots

- Killarney, Galway City or Cork City for a pint or several
- Dingle for the scenery
- Doolin for music (south of the Cliffs)
- Cobh for cuisine
- Dublin is nice but unless you have a purpose, it can be cumbersome (in other words, too much to do, not enough time) - but great to watch a hurling match

I love Dingle Town, and Co. Kerry in general. I like being in the country more than the city, and found Kerry to be really gorgeous. Dingle was a great little town with enough to do so that you don't get bored, but close to the countryside. I stayed there for a week (self catering) and did side trips from Dingle. It was fantastic!

Kinsale was also very nice...but Co. Kerry gets my vote for the favorite place so far!

Okay, I understand that Belfast isn't in the Republic of Ireland. But since it's on Ireland, it's still part of Ireland, just like the rest of Northern Ireland. And here's why Belfast is my favorite place in Ireland.

Belfast. The Troubles are on serious hold for now and the city is prospering. There are great restaurants and lots of touristy things to do there. The food is vastly improved over what people consider traditional Irish food because a better economy has made a big difference in what people want to eat and what they expect to find in restaurants. (Now that the government has made a serious effort at Catholic Economic Integration in Northern Ireland, things are really hopping in Belfast and elsewhere). Just like the rest of Ireland, Belfast is changing quickly and the hospitality industry is just part of that change.

Try the Bombs and Bullets Tour. It involves taking a taxi ride through the Shankhill area and then through the Falls Road area (separate taxi's for each area, make sure your drive is a Protestant when you go to Shankhill and your Falls Road driver is Catholic). Your driver can tell you about the walls and murals that divide West Belfast and still manage to drive properly whilst talking all the way. Contact Black Taxi Tour at 0800/052-3914 or http://www.belfasttours.com/.

Don't forget to visit the harbor, it's beautiful. The so called Titanic Quarter is an area along the harbor that is being revamped and made over to improve the city because apparently the docklands got really rundown and a bad part of town, thus needing major improvements that the British government has finally decided to do in the last several years. The Titanic was built in Belfast in what is still claimed to be the world's largest dry dock.

And Belfast does have great public transportation. Quite a flat city, it is easily walkable for a stroll, a self-guided tour, or a guided tour with a local. The tour on Thursdays and Saturdays that starts outside Crown Liquor Saloon on Great Victoria Street is highly recommended.
