The 25 Best Things To Do And See In Ireland

Ireland is apparently one of the more popular destinations in Europe. It’s both a historic and contemporary country.  With all the options available there, you could probably use some help with your travel agenda.  Here then, for your perusal, are the 25 best things to do and see in Ireland.

1. Enjoy A Cruise On The River Shannon

First up is this relaxing boat cruise on the River Shannon from Cuilcagh Mountain to Limerick City.  Take in the scenery along the 500-kilometer long waterway.  From Limerick to the Lower Lough Erne in Northern Ireland is especially noteworthy. 

You can rent boats of all sizes and take the most popular route from Portumna to Carrick.  If you’re a nautical nut, extend your adventure by visiting the lesser-known gems further north.

2. Explore The Irish Castles

Start with Dublin Castle in the capital.  The guided tour also includes the exotic Chapel Royal and the historic State Apartments.  If you want to stay in a castle, register at popular Ashford Castle in County Cong.

There’s also legendary Blarney Castle.  Here you will see the famous Blarney Stone too.  Legend has it that if you bend over to kiss this ancient chunk of rock and you’ll be blessed with the “gift of gab.”
