Hello,
I am coming to Ireland at the end of this month for 4 full days with three friends. We are in final planning stages and have a rough itinerary and would like to get suggestions/feedback from the TA community before we finalize our bookings.
There is so much to see in Ireland but I know we cant obviously cover everything. If our plans look too lofty, please let us know
Day 1 - We arrive in Shannon airport late in the night. We are renting our car, booking a hotel close to the airport and retiring.
Day 2 - Early start (8 AM) and drive to Cliffs of Moher and Dingle peninsula. Stay in Dingle for the night.
Questions - Is this too ambitious? What are must stops in the route?
Day 3 - ROK drive and spend the night in Kinsale
Questions - I think ROK will take the full day or is it possible to stop at Killarney National Park? Is Kinsale a good city to spend the night or do folks have another suggestion?
Day 4 - Drive from Kinsale to Dublin. Stop at Kilkenny Castle, Rock of Cashel and maybe Glendalough? Spend night at Dublin or somewhere close to Dublin?
Questions - Are there any other stops en route that we should see. Hotels in Dublin are really expensive. Does it make sense to spend the night near the outskirts? If yes then what possible towns?
Day 5 - Dublin Tour
Visit Book of Kells, Trinity College, Kilmainham Gaol, Jameson Distillery and Guinness Storehouse
. Do a pub crawl at night. Spend night in the city
Day 6 - Have brunch and leave for airport. Flights at 2 PM.
Does this itinerary seem reasonable. Please let me know if there is any feedback/suggestions.
Many thanks!
