The Nest Boutique Hostel

Heading to one of Ireland's top cultural hubs? Good choice! In my guide, you'll find everything from must-see attractions, best of food & drink, hiking/nature, and of course the best places to stay!

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. Trip Summary: Day 1 - Fly in + Galway Day 2 - Galway + Cliffs of Moher + Dingle Day 3 - Ring of Kerry + Killarney National Park + Cork Day 4 - Cork + Dublin Day 5 - Dublin Day 6 - Dublin + Fly out

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.
