The BritRail Pass + Ireland
A Pass So Complete, You’ll Want to Do a Jig
Contrary to what many think, the UK does not include the country of Ireland. It’s completely its own entity – geographically and culturally. And the Irish wouldn’t have it any other way. With the BritRail Pass + Ireland™ from Rail Europe, you’ll see Great Britain plus the glories of the Green Isle.
Linger in London, then head to Dublin for a Guinness. Find a hole-in-the-wall pub (as if there is any other kind), where storied characters take to a bar stool to tell their tall tales. Stop in the Scottish highlands for a single malt. Don’t overindulge or you’ll miss all the beauty that surrounds you. Raw, rugged landscapes, white cliffs jutting into the sea, fields of gold and green.
Forget the stresses of finding your way through Ireland and Great Britain, and simply enjoy finding yourself. In museums, castles, and of course, golf courses. And while we’re on the subject of links, you’ll find no better way to connect to the different cultures of the UK…and Ireland.
