As overseas travel to Ireland surges back to strength in 2026, Lonely Planet’s new Ireland guidebooks feel perfectly timed. New figures show the country welcomed more than 1.3 million visitors in the first quarter of the year - up 24% on 2025 - showing a renewed global appetite for Ireland travel experiences.

Against this backdrop, our Ireland guidebook offers a richly detailed, wide-angle view of the island, from coastal drives and rural escapes to cultural deep dives, while Pocket Dublin zeroes in on the capital’s fast-evolving food, arts, and nightlife scenes. Together, they cater to new travellers and those returning with both curiosity and confidence, looking to explore beyond the obvious.
