Combine a stay in Dublin with a short side trip to the Aran Islands and Galway by train.

The Aran Islands are rich in the language, culture and heritage of Ireland, unique in geology and archaeology and in its long tradition of gentle hospitality. A timeless land in an endless sea; weathered monuments on awesome cliffs; great labyrinths of limestone; meandering walls; patchwork fields, quiet beaches and a welcoming island people. A place to sense the spirit of Gaelic Ireland, to touch the past, but with all the comforts and facilities of the present.

Aran will take you back to an Ireland of Celts and Early Christians!

Trip Summary

3 nights in Dublin

With over 1000 years of history Dublin has experienced many changes, particularly in the last decade. European Union membership and increased prosperity have transformed Dublin into a multicultural city with a thriving economy, ranking it among the top tourist destinations in Europe. An hour walk from the top of Grafton Street, across the Liffey, up O'Connell Street, and farther into north Dublin is a walk through time and, also a glimpse of some of the pieces that must eventually fit together.

itinerary Details [+]

Thank you for asking for feedback. We couldn`t have been more pleased with how easy our bookings were with you and how organized the itinerary was - in a packet when we arrived in Ireland with detailed hotel information, train schedules and train tickets. The hotels - the Gresham in Dublin, was wonderful. We booked a two day Aran island package with you with two nights in Galway. We were not told of the hotel, other than it would be a 3-star hotel, until our arrival in Ireland when we picked up the itinerary at the Gresham. I was a bit worried about the hotel - Days Hotel in Galway. Days hotels are chains and generally conditions are not great. Well, that was not the case for the Days hotel on Galway - it was modern and spotlessly clean and had a huge work out facility and a pool. Unfortunately as we didn`t know of the hotel until our arrival we did not have swim suits or exercise clothing and as I was traveling with a child the pool was a must. Therefore had to buy them. I would recommend you give advance notice of the hotel for this reason. Secondly the hotel was a mile or so away from the center of town which required a taxi to the center. A hotel closer to the center would have been better. Other than that, wonderful experience. Thank you. Samantha G.
