Answer 1

croke park,Phoenix park,Dublin, and you have to see knock shrine,fantastic co mayo,and of course bunratty castle,

Answer 2

bunratty castle is near shannon airport and the banquet nights are brilliant as well as the folk village

Answer 3

From the Limerick area, you can take a day trip to Galway, the Cliffs of Moher or the Ring of Kerry.

Try see stuff you can't see anywhere else.

Answer 4

Some good suggestions there!

For Dublin, you also have the Guinness visitor centre with great views from it's rooftop bar.

A few years back I took the walking tour of Trinity College in the centre which was very good.

Croke Park is a sports stadium.  I don't think I'd go there if there isn't a match on.

For the Shannon area, the Co. Clare scenery like the Cliffs of Moher is great.  Bunratty castle is good and is on the road back to Limerick.

There's enough in Limerick to keep you busy for a day if needs be (Castle, cathederal, museums).

Mayo is bit far from the areas you mentioned.

Have a great trip!

Answer 5

athlone for sure!!!!!!it rocks!

Answer 6

you gotta go and see croke park in Dublin and Bunratty castle is wiked 2...

Answer 7

Bunratty Castle is a fun dining experience, the Cliffs of Moher are breathtaking.  If you are renting a car then just take a drive up and down west coast.  It's spectacular.  Pick up a Fodor's guide.   I highly recommend staying at B&B's.  There's one at every turn.  Dress warm and have a great time!

Answer 8

I don't know much about Dublin.

Near Shannon Bunratty is indeed good fun: tourist kitch but quality tourist kitch.

The famous Cliffs of Moher are indeed beautiful. They have recently built a "cliff experience" visitor centre, which, in my view actually takes away from the wildness of the Cliffs and the parking is fairly expensive. If you wanted to dodge this issue there are cliffs in not too far away Kilkee that are not *quite* as high but you can ditch the whole tourist circus.

If you do go to the cliffs and have a car, head north and this will take you onto The Burren which looks a bit like the surface of the moon: all flat grey rock.

Finally, I would stay the last night in Ennis and spend that night catching some Irish music in a pub. The west part of Ireland is particularly famous for this and you should have no problems finding people singing and playing fiddles and accordeons etc on any night in Ennis. Pubs usually advertise it with a sign in the window or you could ask around. Unless you really dislike anything "folky" it is a real fun thing to see and hear "in the wild".
