Many travelers who want to start on the other side of Ireland fly into Shannon Airport instead of Dublin. Ticket prices tend to be the same, although many international flights first stop in the larger city to disembark and re-load passengers. The nearest large city is Limerick, which is relatively unspoiled by tourists. To the north of the airport sit the popular Aran Islands.
