Hi my name is kristen lucia 31, from new york. I'm planning to visit in Ireland and don't have any clue where to start my vacation or where to book in but my main target is Giant's causeway. I'm planning to be alone on my trip so I'll be able to enjoy my me time. However, I would still love to meet and have friends there. [Removed due to Community Guidelines]

Hi Kristen, It's great to hear that you are planning a trip to Ireland.

Our Things to Do page is also super beneficial for people looking for inspiration ahead of a trip to the island. Given that you are planning to visit the Giant's Causeway, this 6-day Causeway Coastal Route may be of interest to you. I hope that this information will prove helpful to you. Regards, Eoin

Hello Kristen,
It's great to hear that you are planning a trip to Ireland and would like to include a visit to the Giant's Causeway. It is a truly unique spot, not only because of the 40,000 basalt stone columns shaped like hexagons, but also for the amazing rock formations and strata stretching for miles along the cliff path at the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. If you enjoy walking, I would urge you to hike along the cliff path after visiting the "stones" to see everything the UNESCO World Heritage Site has to offer. If you do the walk from The Causeway to Dunseverick Castle (the remains of an ancient fortress) 4.5 miles along the cliff path, you are able to get the Rambler Bus (402) back to the visitor centre. Should you like to meet up with a few other people for the experience, you could do one of the guided tours available such as Away a Wee Walk, Causeway Ramblings or Whiskey on the Rocks. Just to let you know, it is advisable to book your ticket for the Giant's Causeway at least a day in advance.
Other popular attractions in the region are Dunluce Castle, Bushmills Distillery, Carrick-A-Rede Rope Bridge, Rathlin Island, the many beaches and seaside towns as well as Game of Thrones film locations. To find out more about how you could get the most out of your time here please take a look at our web site: https://www.visitcausewaycoastandglens.com
If you get a chance to call into one of our Visitor Information Centres we would be happy to give you free maps and brochures for the area. Anne
