Ireland

Are you ready for a magical adventure around the Emerald Isle? Maybe you want to party at Temple Bar, visit some fairytale castles, gain the gift of the gab by kissing the Blarney Stone or head out on a road trip to see some spectacular coastal scenery. Either way, I can guarantee it will be a trip to remember! For such a small country it sure packs a lot in and the friendly locals will be happy to welcome you. I have lots of travel guides about Ireland to help you plan the best trip possible. Let’s go!

When is the best time to visit?

Ireland is an all year round destination. However, I prefer the shoulder seasons of spring and autumn as summer is warm but incredibly busy!

I highly recommend booking Travel Insurance for Ireland. I always choose World Nomads;
