Solo travel

I liked it very much there. The nature is very beautiful and the human too. You can visit Giants Causeway and the Titanic Museum in Belfast is definitely worth a visit. The Nationalpark Connemara ist also very beautiful.

Solo travel

I felt very safe and I stayed on the botanical backpackers hostel which is a female only hostel, very clean and organized. I spend St Patrick’s day in Belfast and it was amazing, there was lots of people but it wasn’t as crowded as other parts of Ireland.
