Start your journey amidst the cobbled streets and traditional pubs of Ireland's intimate capital, Dublin. Then head south and west through Counties Wicklow and Kerry along incredibly beautiful and rugged coastline, before heading north to bohemian and historic Galway. Along the way you'll explore the beautiful Japanese Gardens of Tully, view the awe-inspiring Cliffs of Moher, which on a clear day seem to run endlessly to the horizon as the sheer vertical cliffs dive perilously into the churning Atlantic, and travel through the Connemara Region, one of the most picturesque in all of Ireland, where Gaelic is still spoken.
On Splendid Ireland, you'll stay in Deluxe 5 star hotels throughout your entire journey, offering you a comfortable base to relax after your daily adventures. And in true Friendly Planet fashion, your flights, transfers, and sightseeing are also included at this incredible price. We know you won't soon forget the friendly people and warm hospitality, ancient history and modern culture, and endless emerald hills and dramatic coastlines of Ireland, and you can explore it all with Friendly Planet.
