Amazon.co.uk Review
From Antarctica to Zimbabwe, if you are going there chances are Lonely Planet has been there first. With a pithy and matter-of-fact writing style, these guides are guaranteed to calm the nerves of first-time world travellers, while still listing off-the-beaten-path finds sure to thrill even the most jaded globe-trotters. Lonely Planet has been perfecting its guidebooks for nearly 30 years and as a result, has experience and know-how similar to an older sibling's "been there" advice. The original backpacker's bible, the LP series has recently widened its reach. While still giving insights for the low-budget traveller, the books now list a wide range of accommodations and itineraries for those with less time than money. >From pub hopping and leprechaun chasing to Ogham stones and the Book of Kells, Lonely Planet presents the essential Ireland. In addition to the requisite low-down on food and accommodations, a detailed activities section covers everything from walking and birdwatching to hang gliding and rock climbing. The book's intriguing "boxed asides" delve into topics ranging from the mystical to the environmental, including the Witch of Kilkenny, the Legend of Inishbofin Island, the Birr Observatory and Telescope, even Ireland's Disappearing Bogs. --Kathryn True

 quirky Ireland July 11, 2010

We were visiting Southern Ireland - County clare, for the first time. I enjoyed the occasional tongue in cheek style of this guide, and the information was very useful. In fact the guide became our Oracle.
Really Informative! May 23, 2010

We've been thinking of holidaying in Ireland for a while after hearing lots of positives about the country. I decided that to satisfy my questions and find out further info I'd invest in this Lonely Planet guide to Ireland. The books as you'd expect if you're familiar with LP Guides is incredibley informative and tells you lots of info about the locals and parts of the country that aren't always a tourist destination so you get a good all round knowledge from write ups from people who have travelled around the country.
I would recommend any of these books to anyone intending to visit any country as they are so informative from currency to food, local interest to history and they give you an insight into the many traditions of the locals.
Published this year, 2010 & great value. April 3, 2010

When you receive this guide the first thing that strikes you before opening its pages is how much (due to its thickness) there seems to need to be said, described & guided about Ireland! It's a great place & deserves more attention from those that appreciate people, culture & fantastic landscapes. The LP Ireland guide is the one to buy.

I would be very surprised if the author has been to Galway since the last edition of this Guide. How much research would it take to find out that Bold Art Gallery has been closed since early 2009 or that Bistro Jackie has not exited since 2008?
He misses the real gems too, which to me looks like he hasn't even browsed off the beaten track. For instance shops like Twice as Nice (a great vintage shop which sells great Jewellery), Judy Greene's (who is a world famous local potter), Cloon Keen (a local perfumer, whose candles and body care are amazing and locally made), Griffins Bakery (which makes legendary bread and is steeped in tradition), and the Oslo Pub which brews their own beer. Yes they are harder to find....but isn't that a travel journalists job?
My suggestion is don't bother with the book, Bord Failte will have the same advice or even try tripadvisor.
A huge disappointment.
 Lots of info but most not helpful September 1, 2009

A huge book but with very little detail on what you should go and visit in each area. Classic lonely planet but always feel you are going to miss on on some really good stuff as it doesn't fit neatly into one of the LP categories
