Ever since I had seen a picture of the Cliffs of Moher in Ireland, I had always wanted to go on a road trip there. I will be honest here, it took me months of planning and creating numerous lists of the places to visit in Ireland, and the things to do in Ireland but as they say and as I have always believed, the impromptu trips are always the best!<\/span><\/p>\n

So, in September of 2019 I took off with friends for an unforgettable trip to a country with stunning landscapes. Ireland is the only island in the world which is divided into two countries (Ireland and UK \u2013 Northern Ireland) and you can cross over the border without any immigration.<\/span><\/p>\n

We landed in Dublin and rented a car which was with us for the next 8 days. Do look out for good deals. We booked our car last minute from Orbitz app (Budget car rentals) and got an unbelievable rate of $2 USD per day for a Nissan Micra. Do look out for these deals online. If you plan to drive up to Northern Ireland the rental company will charge you an extra \u20ac34 as insurance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Road trips are one of the best things to do in Ireland!<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, let me explain in detail:<\/span><\/p>\n

One thing you should keep in mind when in Ireland is that the weather here is very unpredictable. It could be sunny for 10 minutes and rain heavily the next 10 minutes. At times, It also gets cold and windy in summer. So be prepared for all kinds of weather and don\u2019t let the weather ruin your mood\u2026No matter what the weather\/temperature \u2013 Ireland is beautiful.<\/span><\/p>\n

This was the route we followed :<\/span><\/p>\n

Dublin airport \u2013 Cork \u2013 Killarney National Park \u2013 Ring of Kerry drive \u2013 Dingle Peninsula \u2013 Slea Head drive \u2013 Cliffs of Moher \u2013 Fanor beach \u2013 Sligo \u2013 Giants Causeway \u2013 Bushmills \u2013 Belfast \u2013 Dublin. We stayed at Airbnbs in most of the places and they were all in great locations and beautifully done up.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is the list of my top 10 things and places to visit in Ireland which I feel you simply should not miss!<\/span><\/p>\n

1. One of the Places to Visit in Ireland: The Lough Hyne<\/b><\/h2>\n

Lough Hyne forms for one of the major tourist attractions in Ireland anyway and so if you are there, make sure you include night sea Kayaking there in your list of top things to do in Ireland \u2013 This place is in between Killarney National park and Cork. An absolute must do with Atlantic Night Sea Kayaking team.It starts at 8pm and you are done by 11pm. Night sea kayaking itself is quite an adventure and imagine seeing bioluminescent water as well\u2026It was awesome! They also take you to a place on the kayak where they ask you to shut your eyes and just take in the silence of the night.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Because Food is Important: The Church Restaurant in Skibbereen<\/b><\/h2>\n

After the night sea kayaking we stayed that night at Skibbereen. A must do when in this town is dining in a church..yes you heard it right! Imagine, this is an18th century church which is now converted to a restaurant.The food is delicious too and it\u2019s a unique experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Driving through the Gap of Dunloe<\/b><\/h2>\n

Drive through the Gap of Dunloe on the Ring of Kerry and visit the lakes of Killarney National Park \u2013 The lakes of Killarney are absolutely wonderful, walk through the park,visit Ross castle and stroll around the lakes. While you are driving on the Ring of Kerry, which is one of the most famous drives in Ireland you will be passing through the Gap of Dunloe\u2026every corner here is spectacular. This is one of the best things to do in Ireland.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Visit the gorgeous Dingle town<\/b><\/h2>\n

This is the most colourful town in Ireland. Full of life and energy. We stayed right at the city centre and walked to most of their pubs,stores and restaurants. The seafood here is to die for and definitely eat at Fish box .We loved the food here so much that after having a sumptuous lunch, we went back for dinner too. This is definitely another one of the best places to visit in Ireland. Order the Fish and chips\u2026it\u2019s the best I had in Ireland. Also, have ice cream at Murphys which is rated as the world\u2019s best ice cream by Conde Nast Traveler.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Some Treks for those who Love it: The Dunmore Head<\/b><\/h2>\n

Trek up to Dunmore head in the Dingle peninsula. This is a day trip and you must drive down the Slea head drive. It\u2019s absolutely gorgeous. Especially the short hike up to Dunmore head which was also the location of the movie Star Wars \u2013 The Last Jedi and is the most western point of Europe.<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Another point of interest for many : Experiencing the Night Life:\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

If you are someone who loves the nightlife, then pub hopping has to be in your list of top things to do in Dublin Ireland. Go pub hopping to listen to live Irish music \u2013 If you want to enjoy the Irish culture go to one of their pubs. They have live music every evening and every one there is having a gala time. You definitely want to be a part of it. Be it Doolin, Dingle or Dublin\u2026pub hopping is a must everywhere.<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Walk on the Cliffs of Moher<\/b><\/h2>\n

The most popular tourist attraction on Ireland\u2019s Wild Atlantic way is the Cliffs of Moher. They are breathtakingly beautiful and one of the major points of interest for the Hollywood buffs and if you happen to visit the country, a walk on the cliffs of Moher has to be on your list of things to do in Ireland.They are even more gorgeous than what is portrayed in pictures and walking on these 700 feet high cliffs is one of the best experiences this country has to offer. It is extremely windy on these cliffs so carry your jackets and Girls, make sure your hair is tied if you want good pictures. When you come out from the visitor centre you can either take a left or right and walk on the Cliffs. I recommend taking a right and walking right till the end. The views from there are gorgeous. We stayed overnight at Doolin and had dinner at this great restaurant called Mc Ganns<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

8. Another major point of interest – The Voya Seaweed Bath<\/b><\/h2>\n

This bit is more of an indulgence but definitely one of the best things to do in Ireland. Indulge in an organic seaweed bath in Sligo \u2013 We drove all the way from Doolin for 3 hours just to have this seaweed bath and it was so worth it. This place is called the Voya Seaweed bath. It\u2019s a 50 mins bath where you are dipped in warm water with organic seaweed in it. It leaves your skin very soft and supple and you are totally rejuvenated. Now that was quite something!<\/span><\/p>\n

9. Visit the Giant\u2019s causeway in Northern Ireland<\/b><\/h2>\n

Another major thing to do in Ireland is to Visit the Giant\u2019s causeway in Northern Ireland. This one is literally one of the best tourist attractions in the country. 40000 hexagonal interlocked basalt columns jutting out of the sea makes for a stunning landscape. Legend has it that these columns were home to an ancient giant and he created it himself while science says that it was the aftermath of volcanic activity. Giant or Science\u2026I loved this place and did not want to leave.<\/span><\/p>\n

10. For everyone who goes to Ireland: The Irish Drinks!<\/b><\/h2>\n

Drink lots of Baileys and Irish coffee! Being a bengali and having a sweet tooth, Baileys has always been my favourite drink and given it originated from Ireland, I had it to my heart\u2019s content. I am not much of a coffee drinker but made an exception for the very famous Irish coffee which is absolutely yummy!<\/span><\/p>\n

These were my top 10 things to do in Ireland. Apart from this I would also recommend visiting one of the oldest whiskey distilleries in Bushmill, drive past the Peace wall in Belfast and visit the Titanic museum which was very touching. If you are a bibliophile and looking for things to do in Dublin Ireland, then you must visit the library in Trinity college which is called the Long Room and is one of the most beautiful libraries in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

FAQs About Places to Visit in Ireland<\/b><\/h2>\n

When is the best time to visit Ireland?<\/b><\/p>\n

You can visit the country almost anytime honestly and it will still be as beautiful! However, if you are one a budget, then choose November to March otherwise May to August! The Nov-March period is cold and so a lot of attractions are closed. The other is peak season and so not only will you have most attractions open, you will see a lot of other tourists around too!<\/span><\/p>\n

What Is the Weather Like in Ireland?<\/b><\/p>\n

Everchanging- that is what the weather in Ireland is like. Ireland has a temperate climate in general and hence is usually very pleasant. But yes, always carry an umbrella along because it can rain literally anytime!<\/span><\/p>\n

Should I stay at hotels, B&Bs or guesthouses?<\/b><\/p>\n

BnBs are pretty famously preferred in Ireland because of their affordability and also the general hospitality of the people. However, you could also take a cozy room in a hotel and relax!<\/span><\/p>\n

Hey there travel bugs! Glad you made it to my blog. The journey is going to be worth it\u2014I promise.<\/p>\n

I am a fearless, unguarded and fun loving traveller. The word \u2018cannot\u2019 doesn’t often appear in my life\u2019s dictionary. I was bitten by the travel bug a long, long time ago and it has taken me to more than 60 countries and countless destinations ever since. A born networker\u2014I have met and made a gazillion friends across the world and the experiences so far, has more often than not, left me speechless. The more I travel, the more I realise that how much there is left to travel.<\/p>\n
