Must See in Ireland

Get Back to Nature in Connemara National Park

Connemara National Park is one of only six national parks in all of Ireland, and we think it’s the ultimate place for nature lovers in the country. In this park, you’ll find almost 3000 hectares of mountains, heaths, bogs, grasslands, and woodlands. Head to the visitor centre, and you’ll discover a number of trails for all abilities. If you manage to climb to the top of 400 metre high Diamond Hill, you’ll discover views of distant islands as well as Kylemore Abbey.

Have a Glamping Experience at the Wild Atlantic Camp

There are certainly enough camping sites dotted around Ireland for you to have a great camping experience, but if you are still on the fence about camping and you’d like to dip your toe in with some glamping, you have this option at the Wild Atlantic Camp in Donegal. No tents are involved at all, and you get to stay in a heated wooden pod, which is just luxurious enough to feel like you are roughing it, but it’s still out there in the wilderness.

Listen to Some Smooth Sounds at Cork Jazz Festival

When you’ve heard just about as much of the Irish fiddle as you can handle, you might be interested in listening to some of the smoother sounds of jazz music, and the annual Cork Jazz Festival offers the perfect opportunity for this. This is Ireland’s premier jazz festival, and it takes place annually at the end of October. Hundreds of musicians are attracted to the festival each year, and there are concerts in city venues as well as on the streets. Will you be part of it?

Cheer on Locals at The Liffey Swim

The Liffey is the main river that intersects Dublin, and each year in August there are hundreds of brave souls who take part in the Liffey Swim, a race across the river in the open waters. There are races for men and women, as singles and in teams. As the temperature of the river water is rarely very warm, the competitors need as much encouragement as they can possibly get. The atmosphere on the riverside on race day is incredible, so why not join in with the fun, and cheer on the brave souls in the water?
