Planning a getaway from Dublin? Find the best day trips quickly and easily, all in one place.
Booking a couple of days in advance works fine for most places. But if it’s a peak season or you’re going for a popular tour, early booking is a wise move!
Kilkenny, Glendalough, and the Cliffs of Moher are top picks. Kilkenny has stunning castles, Glendalough is perfect for history and nature, and the Cliffs of Moher are simply iconic.
If you’re all about history, head straight to Newgrange or the Boyne Valley. These places are older than the pyramids and packed with ancient stories. Get ready for some major time travel vibes!
Yes! Head to Glendalough or the Wicklow Mountains. Both spots offer great hikes, peaceful lakes, and breathtaking views, perfect for a nature fix.
Definitely! Try the charming town of Drogheda, visit the hidden gems in the Boyne Valley, or check out Trim Castle and its medieval surroundings.
It’s a 3-hour drive each way, so it’s a long day. But the hexagonal basalt columns are truly one-of-a-kind, and the coastal views are stunning.
Not at all! The Causeway is easy to explore on your own. But if you want an extra layer of history, having a passionate local guide will help you gain deeper insights.
Kilkenny Castle is very walkable. You can explore the grounds on your own or book a guided tour to hear the stories behind the historic walls.
Absolutely! In winter, the Wicklow Mountains are even more magical with snowy landscapes and fewer crowds. Just check for weather updates before you go!
The best months to visit are May-June and September-October. You’ll get mild weather and fewer tourists. Winter is quieter, but bring a warm coat, as it can get cold and damp.
Comfortable shoes are a must because you will have to walk a lot on cobblestone streets. Bring layers since the weather can be unpredictable. A light jacket and sunscreen are essential.
