I'm traveling to ireland for 2 weeks... Where should I go?

Question

I'll be there end of june and beginning of july

Answer 1

Galway, Connemara, Westport

Answer 2

Spend only a few days in Dublin.  The Guinness Factory is a must.  Then take a train to the west short to Galway Bay.  You will never regret going to see the Cliffs of Moor.  

Then make your way south to Cork and enjoy one of the few semi-tropical climates in northern Europe.  If you want, do the whole isle loop and spend some time in Swords in the north.  

Ireland is a blast, great looking girls and good food.  The only regret you have is it will only be two weeks.

Answer 3

my friends just went there, did u know they only have running water for a certain time period than all the water gets shut off, cuz its such a poor country. i thought that was wired.

Answer 4

http://www.viator.com/tours/Ireland/The-... < -- This gives you a basic rundown of things to do in Ireland.

The Guinness house, Dublin Zoo, Croke Park, Wicklow Jail , Kilmanen Jail and the GPO which  is a post office with a great historical significance to it are great things to see.

You could go down to Cork and See the Blarney Stone. The myth is I you kiss it you’ll never shut up!

For the scenery I like the Wicklow mountains.--- > http://www.gsi.ie/NR/rdonlyres/6CC9C746-...

Also in Wicklow, are the Sugarloaf mountains. They’re very beautiful too.-- > http://www.lookaroundireland.com/countie...

In Dublin, The best night life is definitely in Temple Bar. It’s big, It’s modern and It’s expensive while it has loads of history and culture to it too.

If you want a relaxing, quiet holiday in the country or enjoy the scenery, then any parts of the country will do it for you really like Donegal, Galway, Clare, Mayo etc.

If you want a shopping, busy, touristy holiday then anywhere (or most places) in Dublin will do it for you.

A town in Kerry (the South of Ireland, It’s beside Cork too) called Tralee is very touristy. It is the largest town in Ireland.

It has many attractions and loads of shops and a great night life.

It’s great for young people and people with small families. It suits everyone.

It has an aqua dome swimming pool which is always packed and outside the pool, You can play crazy Golf.

Here is a site on Tralee:  http://www.tralee-insight.com/

In county Kerry, Killarney is another county which caters a lot for tourists. It has good Castles if you’re into that and it has a lovely countryside and the sea is nice there too. Here is a website on Tourism in Killarney--- > http://killarney-ireland.info/

The People in Ireland, in my opinion are an extremely welcoming race. I think this because I have went to other countries from a young age on exchanges, holidays with college etc. and I thought no one was as hospitable as the Irish.

Answer 5

Definately go to meath. you will really have the irish experience there. the people are far friendlier than in dublin or any big city and meath is known as Ireland's cultural capital because of all the Neolithic ruins and Norman castles, as well as all the people trying to keep our culture. The world famous 'New Grange' and 'Trim Castle' are in meath, actually very close to each other, and if you stay in meath, you can easily get the bus into dublin if you would ever want to go shopping. It is far cheaper than in dublin and is far more beautiful

edit: the sheep above me seems to copy and paste that same answer into any question about Ireland. I wonder why?

Answer 6

So many suggestions...

--the Cliffs of Moher (Connemara, in West Clare) is the most beautiful place I've ever seen; DO NOT miss an opportunity to see as much of Connemara as possible. And every Irish musician in the world knows about the little town of Doolin, about 10km from Lisdoonvarna.

--the Hill of Tara, and Newgrange (Brú na Boinne), both in Meath.

--Cashel, in Tipperary.

--the National Museum, in Dublin; also the Long Room of Trinity College, which houses the Brian Boru harp, a copy of the Proclamation, and downstairs the magnficent Book of Kells.

--Kilmainham Gaol, in Dublin.

--Don't neglect the Six Counties of the North; the murals and monuments in Belfast and in Derry are very powerful and moving. Derry in particular has a thriving artistic community, and has a fascinating and vibrant history.

These are just a few suggestions...the other posters also have some brilliant ideas. Make sure you eat a decent breakfast each day--you'll need your strength for all the hiking around!
