This route is a topic in itself. Travel up and down the west coast, passing the Cliffs of Moher, the lunar region of The Burren, the fjords of Connemara and the surf beaches of Donegal. It is the heart of the most spectacular and dramatic Ireland.
Travel 5,000 years back in time by visiting the megalithic complex of Brú na Bóinne (Newgrange). Discover monastic Ireland at the impressive remains of Glendalough or Clonmacnoise. And feel the energy of ancient kings at the Rock of Cashel or the Hill of Tara.
Live a Traditional Music Session ('Trad Session')
The quintessential Irish experience. Go into a pub, order a pint of Guinness and let the music wash over you. Local musicians gather informally to play fiddles, flutes, accordions and bodhráns (Irish drums). Cities like Galway, Doolin and Ennis are famous for their vibrant sessions. It is the soul of Ireland in its purest form.
Driving the Wild Atlantic Way
This is one of the longest defined coastal routes in the world, stretching for 2,500 km along the entire west coast. You don't have to do it all; Choose a stretch like the Ring of Kerry or the Dingle Peninsula and prepare for spectacular landscapes, deserted beaches, charming towns and viewpoints that will take your breath away.
Explore Trinity College and see the Book of Kells
In the heart of Dublin, Trinity College is an oasis of history and knowledge. Stroll through its cobblestone patios and don't miss a visit to the Old Library, one of the most beautiful in the world. The jewel in the crown is the Book of Kells, a medieval manuscript exquisitely illustrated by Celtic monks more than 1,200 years ago.
Feel the Vertigo on the Cliffs of Moher
Stand on the edge of these rock giants that plunge more than 200 meters into the Atlantic. It is one of the most iconic and breathtaking landscapes in Ireland. Walk the safe trail to get different perspectives and feel the force of the wind and the roar of the ocean.
Serving the Perfect Pint at the Guinness Storehouse
Discover the history of the world's most famous stout at its birthplace in Dublin. The tour through seven floors culminates in the Gravity Bar, where you can pour your own pint (certificate included) while enjoying 360-degree panoramic views of the city.
Travel to the Past at Rock of Cashel
This spectacular collection of medieval buildings on a hill in County Tipperary is one of the most important historic sites in Ireland. It was the traditional seat of the kings of Munster before the arrival of the Normans. Its ruins, which include a cathedral, a chapel and a round tower, are an unforgettable sight.

The Weather: Prepare for Four Seasons in One Day
The weather in Ireland is notoriously unpredictable. The key is to dress in layers. A raincoat or windproof jacket is a must, no matter the season. A sunny day can turn into a downpour in a matter of minutes, and vice versa.
Driving in Ireland
You drive on the left. The main roads are good, but be prepared for very narrow country roads, often with one lane going both ways and stone walls on the sides. Take your time, drive carefully and enjoy the scenery.
Currency
The currency in the Republic of Ireland is the Euro (€). It is important to remember that in Northern Ireland (which is part of the United Kingdom) the currency is the Pound Sterling (£, GBP).
