Hey there,
Since visiting Ireland in April, I’ve talked to at least 4 people who are planning their own trip to this magical island country.
If Ireland’s on your list (or you’re already planning), here are 5 places from our trip worth building a route around:
Start in Dublin and follow our Complete 1 Week Ireland Itinerary around Southern Ireland: the full route we used with 3 generations of family.
Don’t skip Cobh: a colorful harbor town with real history (and real charm).
Get out to Inishmore, the largest Aran Island: remote, dramatic, and unlike anywhere else in Ireland.
If you want to sleep there, here’s our honest take on camping and glamping on Inishmore.
End with Howth: one of the best coastal hikes we did on the entire trip.
Practical tip: You should absolutely rent a car in Ireland, BUT car insurance is absolutely needed. Double check that your credit card covers car insurance or get insurance through your rental company.
Talk soon,
Gretchen
