11. Attend A Gaelic Football Or Hurling Game
Gaelic Football and Hurling are Ireland’s most unique sports. Gaelic Football is a hybrid between rugby and soccer. Hurling is like fast field hockey with a twist. Visit in the summer and you can see live matches of both these outdoor sports. The best time to visit is in the month of September. The All-Hurling Final is held on the first Sunday of that month and the third Sunday is the All-Ireland Football Final.
12. See The Mourne Mountains, County Down
This resplendent granite mountain range is one of the best places to go hiking in the country. If you’d rather not explore on foot, you can rent a bicycle. It will certainly provide you with a unique perspective of the stunning mountain countryside. If the granite outcrops attract you, by all means, answer the call as the cliffs here are said to be great for rock-climbing as well.
