What's the difference between this Best of Ireland book and Rick's complete Ireland guidebook?

Rick Steves Ireland, the complete guide, offers more coverage of more destinations in a mostly black-and-white format.

The shorter Best of Ireland guidebook focuses on Ireland's top destinations and sights, is in full color, and is updated a little less frequently than the complete guide.

Both books are packed with hand-picked recommendations and Rick's travel advice and tips for saving time, money, and hassle.

Should I get the Snapshot: Dublin guide in addition to the Best of Ireland guidebook?

Probably not — Rick Steves Best of Ireland has nearly as much information on Dublin as the Snapshot guide. The Snapshot does provide some more detail on Dublin's day trips — if you'd like more comprehensive coverage of the Boyne Valley and Wicklow Mountains, the Snapshot guide is worthwhile.

Should I get the Snapshot: Northern Ireland guide in addition to the Best of Ireland guidebook?

That depends on how deeply you want to dive into the region. Rick Steves Best of Ireland includes lightly condensed coverage of our favorite stops in Northern Ireland — enough for a quick trip. If you'd like more comprehensive coverage of the region, the Snapshot guide is worthwhile.
