I desperately want to vacation in Ireland and visit some distant cousins?

Question

What is the best time of year to go, and what sights should I definitely plan on seeing?

Answer 1

august will (hopefully) have the best weather and if you are around you should come to the festival of world cultures. it is brilliant fun and you meet lots of people

you could make this your last pit stop before going home. galway and kilkenny are definitely worth a visit.

Answer 2

I think sept. is the best time to go , the wheather is usualy good , not much rain and not as many tourists around , places to see have to be , Cliffs of Moher , Clonmacnoise , Newgrange and Dublin for sure, if you have time then Galway , Ring of Kerry and Donegal

Answer 3

May to July. Don't miss the Galway, Killanrey, Cork, Kilkenny and Dublin, and the sights near these cities.

Answer 4

August and September..best hope of good weather:)

You'll probably want to spend time in Dublin and surrounds but be sure to travel about..go to Cork and Kerry and definately go to the west..Galway city is fantastic and from there, around Connemara, Aran islands..you'll have a great time:)
