5. Go Sightseeing in Dublin
There’s no shortage of interesting attractions in Dublin, no matter what time you choose to visit. Some of the highlights include wandering around the 40-acre Trinity College, touring the Little Museum of Dublin, and exploring the National Library, Leinster House, and National Museum of Ireland.
6. Witness the Northern Lights in County Donegal
While Ireland may not be the first spot you’d think to visit in search of the best places to see the northern lights, it’s certainly one to add to your must-go list. Head to the northern edge of the Emerald Isle if you’re hoping for the best views, and be sure you’re there between October and April for the optimal chance at spotting the Aurora Borealis. That said, be warned: There’s no guarantee you’ll see the lights during your trip.
