A fascinating destination in its own right, Ireland is also a popular choice for a multi-destination Europe vacation. Dublin Airport is one of the few in Europe where U.S.-bound passengers can complete all immigration and customs inspections prior to departure, allowing for faster airport processing once travelers arrive back in the United States.”
