Available for hire
Follow this ultra-detailed 6-day route around Ireland, including Galway, Cliffs of Moher, Dingle, Ring of Kerry, Killarney National Park, Cork and Dublin.
I'm sharing 63 total restaurant and pub recommendations, hotels, must-dos and alternate options. Plus, tips for driving, when to book ahead and other tidbits we picked up along the way.
This is a fast-moving itinerary that makes the most of your short time in Ireland. If you want to see as much as you can while still having time to soak in the culture, this guide is for you.
Originally planned for the first week of October 2023, but can be adapted to fit any 6-7 day travel window. It was the first of a two-leg trip with the second week split between England and Scotland (that itinerary is coming soon!)
I took this trip with my boyfriend, so it is best suited for couples or small groups who like a jam-packed itinerary.

Dublin Airport
@kerriontravel
DUB is a large airport, but I found it easy to navigate. Look up how to get to your next gate, rental car desk, or public transit ahead of time to make it even smoother.
