Niall Horan Teaches You How To Be Irish | Going Places | Condé Nast Traveler

Musician Niall Horan joins Condé Nast Traveler to share his personal guide to Ireland. Growing up in the small market town of Mullingar, Niall went on to find worldwide fame in One Direction-but no amount of jet setting around the globe can stop him from seeking out a proper pint of Guinness when he touches down on Irish soil. From slang and snacks to the best pitstops along the picturesque coastline, Niall Horan is here to teach us how to be Irish.
Niall Horan’s new album ‘The Show’ releases on 9th June.
