Trip Summary
2 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.

Visit Trinity College and the Book of Kells, St. Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin Castle, the Guinness Storehouse and Jameson Distillery, Temple Bar, St. Stephen's Green and the National Museums and so much more!



2 nights in Cork

Founded in the late 6th century by Saint Finbarr, Cork is Ireland's second largest city. A famous landmark is the Shandon Steeple of St. Ann's Church, which contains the Bells of Shandon. Other interesting places to visit are the English Market in the center of the city, the University founded in 1845, and the very steep St Patrick's Hill, from the top of which are magnificent views over the entire city. The River Lee flows through the city forming one of the world's largest natural harbours.

Visit the Shandon Bells, Saint Finbarr's Cathedral, the Cork City Gaol, the English Market and the nearby Blarney Castle and Cobh Harbor.



2 nights in Killarney

Killarney (Cill Airne in Irish) is the gateway to the Ring of Kerry and one of best places in Ireland to explore the outdoors. The attractive town pales in comparison to nearby Killarney National Park and the surrounding countryside with its mountains, lakes, woods and overall natural beauty. Killarney town has charming architecture reminiscent of the late nineteenth century and offers fine restaurants, gift shops and traditional pubs. About six miles west is the Gap of Dunloe with steep sides and deep glacial lakes. The Ring of Kerry meanders around the Iveragh Peninsula with sensational views, especially at Caherdaniel, where you will find Ireland's only beach pub.

Visit the Ring of Kerry, Muckross House and Gardens, Three Lakes of Killarney - Lough Léin, Muckross Lake, Upper Lake, Ross Castle on Lough Lein, Killarney National Park, Gap of Dunloe, Ladies View, Torc Waterfall, Town of Killarney and much more!



2 nights in Limerick

Limerick is the third-largest city in the Republic of Ireland. The history of Limerick, along the Shannon River, goes back over a millennium. The Vikings and the Old English inhabited a walled city to the north of the current city center, while the native Irish lived to the south across the Abbey River, a tributary of the Shannon. The end of the Williamite Wars were fought in Limerick, and you can learn more about the war's impacts at the Limerick City Museum and the 13th-century King John's Castle. It wasn't until the eighteenth century that Edmund Sexton Pery designed the current city center, a living showcase of Georgian architecture.

Visit King John's Castle, St. Mary's Cathedral, The Hunt Museum, Limerick City Gallery of Art, Limerick City Museum, Frank McCourt Museum, The Treaty Stone, Newtown Pery, King's Island, Limerick Milk Market, People's Park, and so much more!

Package Map Picture
Ireland

Ireland, `the Emerald Isle`, offers some of the most beautiful landscapes and views in the entire world, from castles in ruins in verdant valleys to rocky cliffsides overlooking the Atlantic. It is a country that is fiercely proud of its native language and culture, and venturing outside the major cities, you will be able to view a more rural experience. This is most popularly achieved by driving the 111-mile Ring of Kerry in the western part of the country, or visiting the charming Gaeltacht where Irish is only spoken. But definitely do not discount the cities, home to charm, history, and great landmarks, such as the cosmpolitan capital of Dublin, and large cities such as Limerick and Cork.
