Solo travel experience

I spent 11 days in Ireland and 1.5 days in Belfast Northern Ireland, and could have gone for a few days longer. Dublin was my home base, spent a couple of nights in Galway, there’s so much to see and do. I toured out of Dublin almost every day, seeing all of the prime sights, saw lots of the country, and had super long days.

Solo travel experience

Ireland is my favorite country! Very friendly people and train system makes it easy to get around. I loved Kerry, Galway and Cliffs of Moher. Dublin is a fun little city. Walkable but also has a train. I went in July as that is the driest month, and only had 1 cloudy day.

Solo travel experience

Ireland is amazing!! I went to Dublin and Galway but want to go back I want to visit Belfast. I saw the cliffs and it was one of the most beautiful things I’ve seen on my travels. I took a tour out of Dublin. It was worth it. The Irish are so kind and welcoming!!!

Solo travel experience

I did Ireland on my own using bus tours. I stayed in Dublin and took bus trips to the countryside. I would recommend doing these trips on weekdays as I found they were less crowded than on weekends. My favorite places were: Cliffs of Moher, Cobh, Killarney, Cong, Blarney Castle. Blarney Castle will have lines but walking the grounds and going up is worth it for the experience.
