Ireland has 4 international airports and 7 regional ones (most of which also fly to various cities in the UK), giving access by air to much of this green-tinged home of leprechauns and guinness. For the rest, travellers can rent a car and explore Ireland by road. The Irish company RyanAir is one of the most competitively priced airlines on the market, and as such getting to Ireland is often easy on the wallet! Belfast, Shannon, Cork and Dublin are the international ports, welcoming over 6 million overseas arrivals each year. Citizens of a small percentage of countries require visas to enter or transit through Ireland, so travellers should check the rules on http://www.dfa.ie before flying.
