Ireland: what to see and what to do

Ireland is a beautiful country with a rich history, stunning landscapes and vibrant culture. Here are some suggestions of what to visit in Ireland:

  1. Dublin : The capital of Ireland is a place full of history, art and nightlife. Don't miss Trinity College, where you can see the famous Book of Kells, as well as the National Museum of Ireland and the Guinness Storehouse.
  2. Cliffs of Moher : These cliffs on the west coast of Ireland are impressive and offer spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean. It is one of the most popular natural destinations in Ireland.
  3. Ring of Kerry – This scenic route in southwest Ireland offers stunning scenery, picturesque villages and historic sites. It is a perfect place for hiking, driving or simply enjoying the natural beauty.
  4. Galway – This coastal city is known for its vibrant cultural scene and festivals like the Galway Arts Festival. Explore the cobblestone streets, listen to live music in the local pubs and visit the Spanish Arch.

  8. Killarney and Killarney National Park : This town in the south-west of Ireland is an ideal base for exploring Killarney National Park, which is full of lakes, mountains and a wide variety of flora and fauna.

These are just a few of the many attractions that Ireland has to offer. Each region of the country has its own beauty and charm. So discover as much as you can during your visit.

As I said, when you travel to another country you know that time is money. Therefore, good organization is essential to make the most of what your destination has to offer.

In this case I would like to show you what there is to see in Ireland and what is important.

You will be able to travel from east to west, from north to south of the island and not waste time visiting the places that are most worth it.

And if you have more time to enjoy another time, you can stop at something else.

1. Cliffs of Moher

We start with the jewel in the Irish crown.

The place where everyone who comes here wants to go and not get lost.

The spectacular Cliffs of Moher.

They are located to the west of the island, about 300 km from the capital, where we started.

Despite this distance, we take a day trip to Moher to visit and it is worth it.

That's not what I'm telling you, but that's how all our clients explain it in many of their comments on our social networks.

The experience of having the Atlantic Ocean in front of you directly on these 200 meter high cliffs is indescribable.

And they make sure that everyone who comes falls in love.

Furthermore, in the more than 9 km of route they cover, you can breathe a special atmosphere, surrounded by green meadows, the typical black crows, grazing cows and, if you are lucky, some friendly puffin, a very colorful and special animal. A bird.

Write it down in your notebook as the most important place to visit in Ireland .

And if you want, you can book our tour to the Cliffs of Moher from Dublin.

2. The Giant's Causeway

Another attraction not to be missed on this tour is the Giant's Causeway on the Antrim coast in Northern Ireland.

It is a landscape complex declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO due to its archaeological importance, since it consists of basaltic rock formations that were formed millions of years ago.

It is a unique and unique place that deserves to be appreciated.

If the day is good and the fog allows, you will be able to see Scotland.

Furthermore, there is a very beautiful legend, that of the Irish giant Finn Mc'Cool.

Thousands of years ago, he wanted to challenge his Scottish rival Benandonner and traveled along the Causeway through Ireland to Scotland in search of him.

When Finn arrived and saw how powerful he was, he retreated to his house. But then Benandonner wanted to do the same and crossed to the Emerald Isle.

When he arrived at Finn's house, his wife dressed him like a baby and put him in a crib.

Benandonner, seeing the size of the baby, supposedly McCool's son, thought about what his opponent would be like and, frightened, returned to Scotland, destroying the road in his path so that Finn could not cross him.

If you are already sure and want to take the excursion to the Giant's Causeway, we offer it to you with a guide in Spanish.

3.Belfast

Of course, the northern capital is one of Ireland's must-visit cities.

It is a special city, different as a whole and, above all, very interested in its political past.

This is where its Catholic and Protestant neighborhoods come into play, which, due to their remote location, were divided and even separated by fences between those who wanted to be Irish and those who wanted to be part of the United Kingdom.

On our tour of the Giant's Causeway and Belfast we explain the entire history in detail.

Belfast has many corners to discover, such as its political murals, its leaning Prince Albert Tower, its beautiful town hall...

But there are two that attract the attention of visitors:

  • The Crown Pub, the only pub designated as a National Monument by the United Kingdom.
  • The San Jorge Market, a place where you can find quality food to the sound of a good band and delicious pints of beer.
