Building your Ireland travel itinerary truly depends on your interests, but I recommend starting with at least seven days in Ireland. On the West coast in particular – it’s my personal favorite – driving portions of the Wild Atlantic Way. I know everyone loves some time in Dublin – but this article is just focusing on the countryside and smaller villages of the west coast – this is my favorite part of Ireland – the rural areas! If possible, extending your stay to ten days or even fourteen days on Ireland’s West coast will provide an even richer experience, allowing deeper immersion into Irish culture and scenery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have traveled to Ireland multiple times – it feels like my home in Europe. It doesn’t matter if I’m doing hiking, biking, or driving trips there, and I’ve loved them all. I even run my own small group tours <\/a>there frequently, too. I used all of the knowledge I’ve gained in those trips and put together this comprehensive Ireland travel itinerary for you…from 7 to 14 days!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let’s start with a one-week itinerary exploring the charming rural beauty of County Sligo and County Mayo, on the north-west side of the country. From there, I suggest adding on a few days to drive south to explore the Cliffs of Moher<\/a> and the beautiful Burren region. Then, to round out a full two-week Ireland vacation, continue heading south to County Kerry and the Dingle Peninsula. Let’s get started!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Table of Contents<\/p>\n
