Posted by on

This is a plan I have taken/adapted from the Rick Steve's website/suggestions. For those that have gone to Ireland..is this possible? Are there sights to add/take away?

Day 1 (Saturday): Arrive in Dublin/tour
- Dublin hotel

Day 2 (Sunday): Dublin
- Dublin hotel

Day 3 (Monday): Train trip to Belfast for the day. Stay in Dublin
- Dublin hotel

Day 4 (Tuesday): Drive to Kylemore Abbey and sightsee on the way. Then stay in Clifden
- Clifden hotel

Day 5 (Wednesday): Hike Connomora Park, Stop in Galway. Stay in Doolin.
- Doolin hotel

Day 6 (Thursday): See the Cliffs of Moher and Burren Lands. Fly out of Dublin to Glasgow.

I hope you're the Energizer bunny. Those last 2 days look exhausting to me. Are you flying out on Day 6, and if so what time isyour flightt? I'd be nervous about sightseeing in the Doolin area in the morning(unless you start really early) and having to get to Dublin in time for your plane, unless your flight is really late. If you haven't driven in Ireland before, be aware that except for the highway between Galway and Dublin, travel on these roads isn't interstate speeds. Calling some of the roads two lanes is somewhat of an exaggeration!

Are you going to Belfast for any particular reason? Just asking because except for the titanic museum, we found Belfast to be very depressing. With such a short time I would cut it out of my itinerary.

This is our first time in Ireland, so we were just trying to squeeze in everything that has been suggested. If those last two days would be too long, would you suggest doing something different? Or perhaps cutting the day in Belfast out? We want to make the most of our time! Our flight back to Glasgow has not been booked, but we are looking at later flights.
