Irish People

If there's one misconception about Irish people, it's that they're warm and inviting to visitors. You'll undoubtedly get to feel that friendly Irish friendliness, especially if you visit to remote places where there are less tourists and crowds. In public venues like bars, don't be startled if strangers strike up a discussion with you. What are the chances?

In Ireland, you could even make some pretty nice pals! You can't go wrong if you talk about lighthearted things and avoid playing into stereotypes or making rude jokes. Irish people are known for being polite, helpful, and inviting to Americans, going out of their way to engage in conversation and provide information about the region or places to visit. You'll also notice American flags on a variety of institutions, indicating that Ireland adores Americans.

As visitors, though, you will always find individuals who are interested in you and eager to talk. You can certainly stroll into a pub and start conversing. Shopkeepers will converse as well, and everyone enjoys the opportunity to tell a wonderful story, albeit not fairytales, but rather tales concerning housing values.
