Is there anything to see in Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland has some of the most beautiful and breathtaking scenery and attractions in all of Ireland.
I know that many people are cautious when it comes to Northern Ireland, but the age of fear is over. Yes, there is still conflict between the Protestants and Catholics in the region, but the “problem” is not targeted towards foreigners, and peace is being given a chance, finally!
