From Guinness to cozy knits, these souvenirs are ideal.
It’s easy to be tempted by souvenirs when you’re traveling around Ireland.
When you’re hiking around one of the islands, a thick knit sweater seems like a great idea. If you’ve gotten into the habit of a nightly dram of whiskey, you’ll definitely want to bring a bottle home.
Luckily, there are plenty of places to pick up the pieces you need. Just be sure to avoid the overpriced tourist shops and head directly to the source, for souvenirs that will forever remind you of your time on the Emerald Isle..
