Inside the Go Ireland list: How we found 100 true-life treasures for your travels in 2026Ireland is a small country, but big on surprises. Many visitors make the mistake of trying to “do it” in a single visit, bouncing from big hit to bucket list, when the real magic lies in between. It could be a walk guided by a farmer, a blissful burger, or a hotel owner picking you up at the island pier. It could be a treehouse stay, a pub snug “to guard with your life” or a doctor running supper clubs. That’s what we set out to capture with our first Go Ireland list.
