Looking for an Irish getaway to kick off the upcoming holiday? Check out these top sites across the Emerald Isle and some of the best places to stay to catch all the action.
Cliffs of Moher
The Cliffs of Moher are one of Ireland’s most iconic sights. The dramatic landscape makes for awe-inspiring views and an adventurous experience on the edge of the world.
Where to Stay:
Sleep in luxury at the Aran View Country House, or opt for a unique experience glamping at Aran Camping Glamping — both less than 15 miles from the cliffs.
Killarney National Park
This expanse of rugged landscape is the highest mountain range in Ireland, largest area of ancient Oak woods and home to the country’s only wild herd of native red deer. It provides expansive views, beautiful scenery and gorgeous waterfalls to explore.
Where to stay:
Stay right in the middle of the park at the extravagant Muckross Park Hotel & Spa or enjoy beautiful lake views at the Lake Hotel.
Cobh, Cork County
Cobh, located on an island in Cork City’s harbor, is as beautiful as it is historic. It’s known as Titanic’s last port of call in 1912 before its fatal sinking. Visit the former White Star Line ticket office or explore the huge Fota Wildlife Park nearby.
Where to stay:
If you want to stay right in Cobh, try the Robin Hill House for a quaint, charming stay.
Kilkenny County
Kilkenny is a medieval town in southeast Ireland, full of castles, churches and rich history. Discover Kilkenny Castle, roam through Woodstock Gardens and treat yourself to afternoon tea at the luxurious Mount Juliet House.
Where to stay:
The Mount Juliet provides a unique, indulgent stay in what once was a fine country house. If you’re looking for something a little more reasonable, Kilkenny River Court Hotel offers a scenic stay on the water with views of the castle.
