TourismIreland – the marketing brand for Ireland overseas - is eager to tell us that Ireland has topped the list of the World’s Friendliest Vacation destinations in the 2008 edition of the Lonely Planet Bluelist, their annual title which captures the best in travel for the coming year. The Bluelist is now in its third year and is a collection of the world’s hottest trends, destinations, journeys and experiences from around the world. The Emerald Isle was applauded for its “deliciously dark sense of humour” and “welcoming attitude towards strangers”.

I live in Dublin, Ireland – love this “deliciously dark sense of humour” – totally agree :)

I truly believe that Ireland is the friendliest that I’ve been too. Met a couple older ladies during a stroll who would’ve talked to me for hours about the history of Ireland if I didn’t have to run off.
