Can anyone suggest great places to visit/tour in Ireland?

Question

Though I was far to young to understand what Ireland was when I heard the word spoken when I was 2 or less, I felt I was connected to it some how. Once I was old enough to know what it was, I've always said that if I even could get the cash together to go, then I was going. I never did any research on or about Ireland as I didn't want to get my hopes up, so now that I can go, I've got no idea where in Ireland I want to go. My questions to you guys is "Do you know of wonderful places to go that are not necessarily on the tourist track" & "Do you guys know of any tours around/about Ireland that you would highly recogmend"? Every & all info is muchly appreciated & I thank you for taking the time to read & respond to my questions.

Answer 1

Dublin has a lot. Tourist attractions nightlife ect. The most inteyresting tourist place is Kilmainham Gaol. Its a very imortportant place for Irish History.

Im from Dublin so my favourite cities are Galway & Belfast.

Galway is full of music & culture and its not tourist tacy like parts of Dublin. Connemara and the Burren are beautiful country side just outside Galway city.

Belfast is proberly one of the most inter esting cites in Europe and its very safe, even though people may say otherwise, & the people are exstreamly friendly.

Kerry is another place to see

Answer 2

Although they are on the "tourist" trail, no visit to Ireland is complete without taking a trip around "The Ring of Kerry" and also the Dingle Peninsula.  At both the scenery is stunning, and on the latter there is a museum dedicated to the people from the Blasket Islands...which is well worth visiting.

Answer 3

I'd recommend you come visit Northern Ireland. We've got a lot of history up here and a unique culture. Belfast is where the Titanic was built and is a interesting place with all of its historic buildings like City Hall, Queen's University, Botanic Gardens and Harland and Wolff Shipyard. The Giant's Causeway is a must and is a World Heritage Site. Londonderry is a historic city and I'd definetely recommend looking at the old city walls - the finest in Europe. There is also Bangor where I'm from. It is a nice old seaside town with a vibrant night life and its got some really nice scenery too. If your up here, you must go so the Mourne Mountains. These are beautiful!

Hope this helps.

Answer 5

Depends on how much time & money you want to spend you can always hook up with tours for any part of the country but the best way to see it is take a month if you can go from point a to point b on your own. Geta map & see the places at your own pace talk to the locals geta real feel for Ireland small towns have more magic than the big cities but they are good for night life.

Don't hitch even Ireland can be dangerous buses are fairly cheep & most towns have cheep accomadation.  Good luck
