Limerick
#7 in Best Places to Visit in Ireland
Dubbed the first Irish City of Culture, Limerick boasts plenty to do for its residents and visitors. King John’s Castle and St. Mary’s Cathedral are both lauded for their striking architecture, while the Hunt Museum and the Limerick City Gallery of Art offer enviable art collections. There are also pretty parks to peruse, including the People’s Park and – if you’re willing to drive 12 miles southwest of the city – Curraghchase Forest Park.
Cliffs of Moher
#8 in Best Places to Visit in Ireland
The Cliffs of Moher are Ireland’s most popular tourist attraction, welcoming more than 1 million visitors each year. In fact, the cliffs are so popular that cities situated more than 100 miles away often offer daylong tours to the attraction. Once you lay eyes on this sight, you’ll understand why so many people travel hours to gaze at it. Measuring 5 miles long and more than 700 feet tall, the cliffs provide breathtaking views of Galway Bay, parts of Connemara National Park and the Aran Islands on a clear day.
