Dublin
#1 in Best Places to Visit in Ireland
If you only have time to visit one place in Ireland, go to Dublin. Not only is Dublin the country’s hub for politics, culture and music, but it also offers easy access to Blarney Castle, one of Ireland’s top points of interest. While here, do as the Irish do and savor some brews either at the popular Guinness Storehouse or at the always exuberant Temple Bar.
Galway
#2 in Best Places to Visit in Ireland
Galway offers the best of both worlds for travelers. City slickers can revel in Galway’s relatively light but palpable bustle, while outdoor lovers can venture outside the city to see many natural attractions, including the Salthill Promenade and Wild Atlantic Way, a scenic route that runs right through Galway. If you prefer to stay local, stroll through the lively Latin Quarter, then check out historical attractions like the Spanish Arch and St. Nicholas’ Collegiate Church.
