The Best Websites

  • Dublin Tourist Office (www.visitdublin.com): This site is the most comprehensive resource for visiting the capital. We especially like the new last-minute booking service, which lets you find out which hotels and guesthouses have immediate availability, as well as which are offering the best discounts.

  • Irelandhotels.com (www.irelandhotels.com): What catapults this accommodations database ahead of the raft of hotel-finding sites is its "search by facility" function. Gotta have a gym? Need to find a babysitter? Want an in-room dataport for your laptop? No problem. Plug in your requirements and you'll get a list of hotels and guesthouses that fit the bill.

  • Irish Tourist Board (www.ireland.ie): Bord Failte's site is both easy to navigate and extremely informative. It's an excellent place to start gathering ideas for your trip.

  • AA Roadwatch (www.aaireland.ie/routes): Planning on driving? The route-planning feature of the Irish Automobile Association's site is brilliantly simple. Plug in a starting point and destination and you'll get a detailed, no-brainer set of directions from A to B.

  • Entertainment Ireland (www.entertainment.ie): This handy, exhaustive, searchable database includes just about every event in Ireland, from museum exhibitions and rock concerts to new plays and nightclub theme nights -- and there are well-written reviews of them all.

  • Irish Family History Foundation (www.irishroots.net): This new, comprehensive genealogy resource contains documentation from all 32 counties. Much of the archived information is free for your perusal, or you can avail yourself of researchers.

  • Newshound (www.nuzhound.com): Hands down, this is the best single resource for keeping up-to-date on Northern Ireland. It's a searchable library of news articles about developments in the North, including a terrific timeline of key events in "the Troubles." In addition, there are articles on the republic, as well as travel and dining reviews.
