Sligo might prove to be one of Ireland's most popular vacation destinations this year. Steeped in history and vibrant scenery, Sligo offers much to those looking to relax or take part in outdoor activities. Hop into your rental car and discover what Sligo is all abut.

A trip to Sligo would not be complete without a walk by the River Garavogue. Just a short distance away is the Hazelwood Forest Park Sculpture Trail where you may view outdoor sculptures from international artists.

Fishing and golfing would be the two most obvious choices to keep yourself occupied outdoors in Sligo. While many would not think of it, scuba diving is quite popular and might be worth a try. If you're too timid to step into the water, you might instead try a half-day of sailing!

Sligo offers a wide array of dining options. Our favorite would prove to be the Blue Willow Restaurant for the Yeats Candlelit Supper, an evening of poetry dramatizations and fine cuisine. There is simply not a better way to enjoy some good, food, literature, and company.
