Hi Joan!
Sounds like you are gearing up for an unforgettable adventure on the Emerald Isle.
Its main draw is
Belfast but there is so much more to experience beyond the city.
Ballycastle for example is a wonderful coastal town and a brilliant access point to the
Causeway Coast.
For the South/South-West of Ireland, may I suggest a true favourite:
Dingle!
A visit to the town will also allow you to tour the
Dingle Peninsula, which holds 6000 years of history.
In the Eastern part of the island you can't miss
Dublin if you are interested in literature and love spending time in a big city that feels like a small town.
If a trip to Dublin is too general,
Wexford is a great alternative!
Here you will be an hour away from
Waterford City, Ireland's oldest (Viking) city.
To help find accommodation across the island, we have a handy guide on our homepage:
Where To Stay. Here you can select the type of accommodation you are looking for including self-catering stays, castle stays and bed & breakfast stays.
I hope this helps, Joan!
Best wishes,
Megan
