Best places to visit in Ireland

  • Dublin: Dublin is the largest and perhaps the most well-known city in Ireland. Make a visit to this historical city where you can tour an array of museums, art galleries and Gothic cathedrals including St. Patrick's and Christ Church. If you're into the outdoors, you can enjoy a hike up Howth Cliff or enjoy a boat ride on the River Liffey.
  • Dingle Peninsula: Located on the southwestern coast of Ireland, the Dingle Peninsula offers breathtaking views of the sea and the mountains. It is also home to Coumeenoole, Inch and Fermoyle beaches where you can surf, cycle and swim.
  • Waterford: This quaint town is a great place to shop. It has several boutiques, antique shops and pubs where you can grab a bite. The House of Waterford Crystals is also located here, and no visit would be complete without a tour of the Waterford factory.

Winter in Ireland

The winter season in Ireland is jacket and long pants weather. It is a great time to visit Maamturk Mountains where you can do some hiking, fishing and horseback riding. Skiing and snowboarding are also possible in Kilternan or Armagh. In the winter, festivals such as the Fairyhouse Winter Festival and the Darklight Film Festival are popular with tourists.
