COUNTRIES around the globe have embraced St Patrick’s Day by lighting up their landmarks green.
As Ireland celebrates its foremost patron saint, the rest of the world has embraced Tourism Ireland’s ‘Global Greening’ initiative.
Famous landmarks going green again this year include the London Eye, Niagara Falls and the Sydney Opera House, among others.
They will be joined by new attractions for 2018, including the Natural History Museum in London, the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas and the Palestinian Museum in Ramallah.
While the festivities are in their early stages in Ireland, St Patrick’s Day is already well under way across the globe, with many landmarks already lighting the way.
Tourism Ireland has been rounding up those that have already gone green…
