Mizen Head on the Mizen Peninsula is Ireland's mainland most southwesterly point. Breathtaking cliffs, beautiful views, lively sea life and educational experiences can all be found here. Head right away to the Visitor Centre, where you'll learn more about the history of this place, which is home to a signal station that housed Ireland's first radio beacon. Then, climb down the 99 steps that lead to a high arched suspension bridge connecting a rocky crag to the mainland, until you find yourself at the signal station, where another exciting exhibition awaits. Out on the horizon, you can spot the imposing Fastnet Lighthouse standing on a rock known as Ireland’s teardrop.

Although this museum is small, it truly comes alive in the summer with unique and creative exhibits and events that differ and expand yearly for the public. During the winter, the archives are available to the public as well as a tool shed that is a must-see for any steampunk fan.

A beautiful Gothic church in Ciutadella, with lovely stonework and stained glass windows, this is a peaceful and tranquil place to spend a couple of quiet hours.
