Solo travel experience
I went to Ireland solo and felt totally safe. It was easy to get around and I had a great time. I rented a car and drove all over the country. Giants Causeway, Aran Island, Cliffs of Moher, and Dromoland Castle were a few of my favorites.

Ireland is the most beautiful, most amazing place I've ever been, spent there a month solo. First ever place I spent that much time there solo and it touched and captured my heart like no other. I'm pretty sure nothing in the world will ever top Ireland for me. Gorgeous scenery with such warm and welcoming people and beautiful rich history and legends.

I loved Ireland. I went all the way from Dublin down to the ring of Kerry, up to Galway and Cliffs of Moher, and then up to Belfast and Giants Causeway. It was an incredible trip and very easy. I'd love to do it again.

Ireland has the friendliest locals I've met on my travels and I've been to almost 40 countries. I did a road trip from Dublin to Galway. Beautiful countryside, seaside, castle ruins, Cliffs of Moher.

My experience was difficult because I had some difficulties at the beginning but then it was excellent, I met many beautiful people and places. The best part was when I met my corean friends, I loved their culture

I loved Kinsale, Cork, Galway, Cliffs of Moher, Dingle, Ring of Kerry, and Ring of Brear. I did have a car and drove it all. I loved that part of the world and felt very safe.

I did 2 days in Dublin, Cliffs of Moher’a were beautiful and worth seeing, liked Galway better than Dublin - less crazy and more charming city, then went north to Ashford Castle in Cong, then drove to Belfast (titanic museum), Giant Causeway (worth seeing) and to Dark Hedges.

I did a solo trip over all of Ireland last year and never felt unsafe. Every person I met there was incredibly sweet and helpful.

My sister and I started in Dublin, got a rental car, and went to Killarney, Kilkenny, Cork, Galway, and then back to Dublin, all while staying in hostels. We were never once approached in a weird way, everyone was super nice. I would definitely go back and do it solo.

Ireland is a lovely country to travel to. I've been there for 2 weeks. I liked it for all the delightful cultural experiences, I felt safe as a solo female traveler, it was inexpensive and I had a blast. The hostels were really nice & great value.

Solo travelI am off on a 5-day trip to Ireland.
I am off on a 5-day trip to Ireland. If anyone has an itinerary to share would be great. I plan to spend 2 days in Dublin exploring as much as I can on foot, 1 day on a cliff of Moher tour, 1 day Kilkenny tour, and possibly 1 day going to Belfast. Has anyone done the Belfast tour? Do you recommend it? Is Kilkenny with the day trip? Any other must-see things to do or see that are off the beaten ...

My friend and I will be going to Ireland for 3-4 days in May and are wanting to do day trips out of Dublin so we don't have to rent a car. What are your favorite tours you've done around Ireland and who did you book them through?
