Additional Information Dublin, Ireland It's easy to fall for charming, crazy, colorful Dublin. The laid-back Irish capital is a somehow harmonious blend of Victorian pubs, rows of elegant Georgian town houses in silvery stone, and glittering modern buildings. With a permanent population of nearly 1.7 million; more than a third of the Irish people either live in or near this city, which explains the great restaurants, bars, and shopping opportunities. Get ready to have a good time. Edinburgh, Scotland Earthy yet stylish, and casually cosmopolitan, Edinburgh is as proud of its medieval cobbled alleyways as its famous edgy Fringe Festival when the world descends on its pleasure palaces. But it's not all about the crowds: Blessed with an outstanding array of scenery, Scotland's capital drapes over seven hills and is crowned by Edinburgh Castle, a dramatic and brooding landmark, with the bucolic Princes Street Gardens running through the city center. Sightseeing / Golf Enjoy exploring the cities with professionally guided tours as well as sample some local food, wine, whiskey and beer. You’ll have some time to explore on your own and visit points of interest. AIST will included additional sightseeing options such as wine tastings or other tour excursions depending on the interest of the group. 3 Rounds of golf are included in the Golfers Ground Package. For Non-Golfers, the 3 rounds are replaced with excursions to Glendalough, Stirling Castle and Glasgow. British Open Tickets Tickets for the open are not included.
