• Three stunning, remote Irish islands that are a must-see for any traveler

Many even argue that there's no place they'd rather be on New Year's than in Dingle, a quaint port town in Co Kerry.

The night typically begins and ends with fireworks lighting up the sky, offering stunning views of the explosions over the bay.

Expect the pubs to be brimming with people, so much so that the streets are likely to be crowded as well. The community comes together to celebrate, ensuring everyone has a fantastic time.

The pubs offer an authentic Irish experience that can only be found in rural Ireland, providing a refreshing break from city life during the Christmas period.

In addition to the fun with locals and visitors who flock to Dingle for the festivities, there's also plenty of natural beauty to explore in the area.

Dingle itself boasts some stunning sights, but a short hour's drive will take you to Killarney National Park, arguably the most beautiful place in Ireland.

Should you decide to venture to Dingle, you'll likely find yourself amongst thousands of merry revelers, creating memories that could last a lifetime.
