Vacations in Ireland

Ireland’s capital is a bustling metropolis with a rich history and culture. Visit Trinity College, the Book of Kells, Dublin Castle, the Guinness Storehouse, or Grafton Street. No trip to Dublin is complete without a visit to a pub and a glass of Guinness. 

Connemara in the west of the island impresses with its simplicity and perfect combination of mountains, lakes, and moors. Here, you can unwind with some fishing, push your limits with canoeing or hiking, or simply relax and take in the serene views of the rolling hills. 

Cork offers a delightful blend of urban and natural beauty. The iconic bell tower of St. Anne’s Church, a symbol of the city, is visible from afar. According to legend, true Corkonians are born within earshot of these bells. The old town, uniquely situated on an island in the River Lee.

On a peninsula in southwest Ireland, near Killarney, you’ll find Killarney National Park. Spanning over 100 km², it features mountains, waterfalls, vast forests, and three lakes. Here, you can hike and find peace amidst stunning natural scenery. 

Located on the west coast, about eight kilometers from Doolin, the Cliffs of Moher are a must-see. Explore the cliffs along O’Brien’s Path and enjoy spectacular views of the sea and coastline. Alternatively, take a boat trip to view the cliffs from the water.

Located approximately 18 kilometers from Cork, Blarney Castle is renowned not only for its majestic structure and stunning gardens but also for the extensive cave systems beneath it. Be sure to kiss the Blarney Stone to gain the legendary gift of eloquence.

The Wild Atlantic Way is the world’s longest defined coastal touring route, stretching 2,600 kilometers. You don’t have to drive the entire route, but it’s worth exploring parts of it to see some of Ireland’s top highlights like the Cliffs of Moher, the Dingle Peninsula, and the Ring of Kerry.

Near Kerry, you’ll find Muckross House and Gardens, where you can immerse yourself in Irish garden culture and join the "Ring of Kerry," a scenic drive that takes you along the coast.

Only five beaches in Ireland have been awarded the Blue Flag for their exceptional beauty and cleanliness, and Keem Bay, in the west of the island, is one of them. Keem Bay’s crystal-clear blue water and golden sand create an almost surreal scene.

Despite its ominous name, Murder Hole Beach is a breathtaking spot featuring dramatic, tide-sculpted rock formations. Situated on the northern Rosguill Peninsula, this secluded beach is accessible only by crossing a field, adding to its hidden charm.

This part of the coast boasts golden sands and wild cliffs covered in lush green grass. The strong currents make it unsafe for anything more than getting your feet wet, and we advise against swimming here—but the view of the sea and the beach is spectacular. 

At this beach, azure and crystal-clear waters meet pristine white sand, creating a scene reminiscent of a true Caribbean paradise. This stunning spot is one of the island's most beautiful beaches. Its horseshoe-shaped bay provides a sheltered area, making it ideal for all kinds of water sports.
