Join Rick Steves on a friendly loop around Ireland. In historic Dublin, viewers will learn about the struggle for independence and have a close-up look at the Book of Kells. Traveling south, viewers see Waterford crystal created and climb aboard an authentic "famine ship." To the west, the Dingle Peninsula is rich with rolling pastures and rustic pubs. Viewers will complete the journey in Northern Ireland, where fine whiskey, political pride and foot-stomping music complete this portrait.
