Great for students and independent travelers.,

This review is from: Let's Go Ireland 13th Edition (Paperback)
This book is amazing and unlike any other travel book I've seen. It is geared toward students and young independent travelers and those who really want to get immersed in the culture of the country/area they are traveling to. It focuses on doing things cheaply (but safely) so that you can still have an amazing trip regardless of your budget. This adds to the books overall goal because staying in hostels and B&Bs will allow you to meet more people and learn more about the country you are in. One thing I really like about this book is that it tells you what you absolutely must do/try based on how long you will be in the country, so even if it is a short trip, you can maximize your time there. It also gives you tips on packing, airline tickets, public transportation of the area, advice on car rentals, information on currency and the safest ways to keep your money, and other features standard of any travel book. And at least for this book, it gives you some basic tips on how to fit in with the culture (tipping is condescending, don't make this hand gesture, don't call a money-belt a fanny-pack, etc.) and it gives you some common Irish phrases and how to pronounce them so you can really impress the locals.
This book probably isn't the best choice, however, for older, wealthier individuals who don't need to worry about a budget on their trip and/or can afford a travel agent to set them up in nice hotels and guided tours. Not that there is anything wrong with that. It's just that most of the fun and usefulness of this book is in planning a budget trip by yourself in such a way that, by the time you leave, you take a piece of Ireland with you.

This review is from: Let's Go Ireland 13th Edition (Paperback)
I received this book as a gift before traveling to Ireland. Carried it with me the entire trip, the sleeping/eating recommendations are fantastic! I then bought it for a cousin who was spending the summer in Ireland, who also loved it (and ended up buying the Australia version for a semester there). I went to visit her in Ireland and we both had the book with us the entire time! It's perfect for anyone visiting the country for the 1st or 2nd time and looking to stay on a budget! I've already recommended it to many people traveling there.
