Does anyone live in Ireland?

Question

When is the best time of year to visit and were is the best place to visit?

Answer 1

yeah born and raised in Ireland lol...come in July/August as they're usually the warmest months-having said that it will rain most days either way! you'll probably love dublin-lots of people, lots to do and great shopping. if you come to ireland for a couple weeks it would be worth spending a few days in the west as well-its really scenic and beautiful, most tourists love it. have a good trip :D

Answer 2

yeah the weather can be unpredictable but summer months best option , u may get lucky and be here for our one week of nice weather. also Wicklow is a lovely part of ireland and worth a visit too.

Answer 3

no one lives there

Answer 4

In my opinion the best places to visit here are: Giant's Causeway,Co. Antrim, Newgrange, Co. Meath, all of Co. Kerry, Dublin City, The Burren, Co. Clare, Galway City & the Co. Wexford coast.  There's loads of other great places obviously but these are the best, if you come in the Summer months there may be small crowds, best to come in September, weather here is changeable so be prepared for 3 seasons in 1 day.

Cead mile failte- 100,000 welcomes. Ok that's enough I'm sounding like I work for the tourist board or something.

Answer 5

July/August in Galway is nice

Answer 6

Yes!!I agree to come in the summertime as you will be able to get the most out of your trip.  To see the true Ireland I definatly suggest you spend time in the west of Ireland as the scenery is breath taking and the people and the way of life is much more "Irish" than in places like Dublin. (aka The Pale!)

I guess if you came for shopping as some suggested, Dublin would be your best bet but I really don't see why people would come here to shop.....it really doesn't have a great clothes selection and besides the prices are outrageous!

Depending on how long you plan to visit I'd suggest maybe hiring a car and visiting and stopping over in a good few counties in order to get the most out of your trip. You will definatly find the people more than welcoming!

If you do decide to visit, hope ya have a great time here!! Slainte!

Answer 7

Don't forget about the North! There's Belfast, the Mourne Mountains (IMHO the best place in the entire world), the world famous Giant's Causeway, the Glens of Antrim, Lough Neagh, Bushmills (the oldest Whiskey distillery in the world), Downpatrick (where St. Patrick is buried), etc, etc.

Answer 8

Depends what you want to do.  If you want to enjoy Ireland like the Irish I would suggest off-season as there would be less tourists and you will get better reception as some parts of the country people suffer from tourist fatigue.

Galway is a great place, safe, big social life, right beside connemara and the Gaeltacht.  Basically the west coast have the best scenery.

Dublin is perfect for weekend trips but thats it.  Dublin doesnt really reflect the rest of the country (same as most capital cities).

Off the beaten track include Mayo, Roscommon, Sligo, Offaly.  Very typical of Ireland and not spoilt by the tourist industry.  No didly-eye c**p.  Very friendly

Answer 9

No.

Answer 10

I stay there for most of the year - Best time to visit is April to October 1st.  Best places I think are Northern Ireland near Giants Causeway or County Sligo, County Clare, or County Kerry you can search these and find a lot of information.  If you want to do it alone you can find a nice B&B in Shannon near the Airport and take trips to Cliffs of Moher, Ailwee Caves, Kylemore Abbey, Galway City, Bunratty Castle.  Just to name a few on the Western Coast.  Or go to Dublin and visit the Temple Bar area and visit the pubs or just hang out.  Airfare is decent right before the end of May and close to October.  You need to book rooms in advance a month or two if you go in the Summer airfare is higher thought I have gotten good prices from 545.00 roundtrip in April to 756.00 Round trip in May use Kayak.com for best prices and they will email you the best prices or use Travelzoo.com

Answer 11

About 5.5 Million, so you're bound to see a few!  To make sure, visit Cork (beautiful city), and not too far from pleasant coastal resorts, the famous Blarney Castle, etc..  And try Dublin for  historical sites and the social life.  Go in the summer so that you are less likely to meet rain -  but if there is the occasional shower,  at least the temperature will be reasonable.  Enjoy your trip!
