St. Mary's Cathedral

Limerick is a town oozing with cultural history, much of which was documented by world-famous author, Frank McCourt. From hiking on the seaside to live music at the Irish pub, there are an abundance of things to do in Limerick that’ll keep your wanderlust soul [and stomach] fed.

There are many different ways to see the Emerald Isle from group travel, to train travel, bus travel, to self-drive or chauffer driven. This itinerary focuses on some areas of the country that are "off the beaten path" and accessible by self-drive or hiring your own private driver. We highlight some points of interest that are common to the country, but delve into some other spectacular sites, villages and places that don't normally show up on a "typical Irish getaway". The itinerary is mapped out for a grand tour of the country, going to towns and villages that aren't always referenced in the normal brochures and is perfect for people who may have seen a lot of Ireland already and want to delve into smaller, niche areas; or for those who enjoy traveling off-the-beaten path and away from most of the general tourist destinations - getting into the heart of the country.

Do you want to travel to Ireland, but you don’t have a lot of money? Or do you just want to save money while also seeing an amazingly beautiful country? I travelled to Ireland on a under 70€ per day budget, as a student. This is my itinerary.
