Which between these two should I choose to visit in Ireland?

Question

Hi! I'm going to Ireland in two weeks and we're going to be in Dublin for two days, but then for the remaining four where should I go? I'm torn between:

1) Waterford, Cork, Ring of Kerry, Blarney Castle, Dingle Peninsula

OR

2) Galway, Clare, Aran Islands, Cliffs of Moher, etc

I might never get to go back to Ireland so I need suggestions over which one is best. I've heard that the Ring of Kerry is amazing, but I've also heard the Aran Islands are a must see. How do I choose.

BTW- Yes, I have to be in Dublin for the first two days.

Answer 1

I would go with the second option, The first option is fine and The R.O.K and the Dingle Peninsula are breathtaking, however option two is equally as beautiful (if not more) and will be encompass a smaller area to travel within your limited four days than option one.

I hope you have a great time over here.

Ps.If your still unsure check out tripadvisor.com and create a post on the Irealnd forum to get more advice.

Answer 2

I vote for the second itinerary because I think it would be less crowded with tourists and you might have a better chance of interacting with the locals and that is what make travel fun. It will be interesting though to hear what the people of Ireland tell you.

Answer 3

2.

Galway and Aran definetely, pure amazing and as an Irish person my favourite place in the whole island (bar maybe donegal).

Although if you go for the first choice fit in Kilkenny instead of Waterford.

Answer 4

#1 the south of Ireland is beautiful even when it is raining.  Both are good choices but you will find more castles forts & all round more fun there good luck & have A GREAT TIME.

Answer 5

DO THE SECOND CHOICE!! i just returned and went to all ofn  those places...it is breathtaking and i would love to go back, but even if i didn't, it would be okay because those places capture the beautiful Ireland...

ABSOLUTELY CHOOSE CHOICE TWO!!!
