Sligo

Sligo is a little seaport town in the northwest of Ireland, only three hours away from Dublin but still charming enough to steal the show. Sligo is a commercial and cultural center situated on the west coast of Ireland. Its surrounding coast and countryside, as well as its connections to the poet W. B. Yeats, have made it a tourist destination for people who love quiet and peace.

This town has a special atmosphere to it, starting from the green pastures and dark seas to the mysticism of the places like Creevykeel and Carrowmore, all of which mix into a unique ambiance. Sligo is widely known for the number of Neolithic cemeteries found there and Ireland’s most distinctive mountain Benbulben which got its one-of-a-kind form when Ice Age glaciers sheared their way through the top thousands of years ago. It is these sites and many others that tell the story of magnificent Irish landscapes, making it an oasis of calmness and placidity.
