Ireland's wild Atlantic coast

Killarney is no newbie to tourism, having welcomed visitors for over 250 years. Being situated on the scenic Ring of Kerry route and surrounded by a national park boasting magnificent lakes, mountains and waterfalls, it’s not hard to see why this town has kept its status as one of Southwest Ireland’s most attractive destinations. The busy town caters for all types of travellers, with a lively yet traditional atmosphere and many bustling lanes waiting to be explored.

Said to be one of the fastest-growing cities in Europe and having gained the title of European Capital of Culture for 2020, Galway is an exciting cultural hub attracting students, artists and musicians. The unofficial capital of the west of Ireland is steeped in history and tradition, which can be seen throughout the medieval lanes filled with bohemian cafes and shops. The cobbled streets come alive in the evening with a vibrant live music scene, attracting locals and tourists alike.

Donegal is a lovely small town in County Donegal, with a small harbour where the Eske River meets the Donegal Bay and an amusing town centre, known among locals as the Diamond. The town is small enough to walk through on foot, but those looking for alternatives can hop on the water bus from the harbour. Visitors looking for a more active vacation can challenge themselves in Murvagh Golf Club on an 18 hole championship links course or with horse riding.

Dublin welcomes you with open arms and a pint of Guinness. The Irish capital breathes history and literature, from Trinity College with the famous Book of Kells to the birthplaces of Joyce and Wilde. Stroll through the colourful streets of Temple Bar, where live music pours from every pub. Admire the elegant Georgian doors in Merrion Square and discover the stories behind Dublin Castle. The River Liffey divides the city into a northern and southern side, each with its own character. Sample a whiskey at the Jameson Distillery or enjoy fresh fish and chips on the coast of Howth. Dublin is compact enough to explore on foot, yet large enough for endless discoveries.
