5 Dreamy Must-See Landmarks in Ireland

5 Dreamy Must-See Landmarks in Ireland

In 2015, I celebrated St. Patrick’s Day in Dublin, Ireland. The celebration lacked the enthusiasm that exist in America but it was Americans who turned St. Patrick’s Day into a drinking holiday. I was a little disappointed to find that the Irish laid low while tourists invaded Dublin. Yet, I still think everyone should visit Dublin just once on St. Patrick’s Day…or any other day.

Here are 5 places to give you wanderlust for the Republic of Ireland:

Cliffs of Moher:

Cliffs of Moher is the most iconic image of Ireland. The view is absolutely breathtaking. Just make sure you pack a coat because it is quit windy here.

Blarney Castle:

Blarney Castle is where all the magic happens. The gardens makes you feel like you’re walking through a real life fairy tale… especially during the Spring. Head over to the castle and kiss the Blarney Stone. Legend has it that when you kiss the Blarney Stone, you will have 7 years of good luck.

Howth:

Howth is a fishing town just a quick DART away from Dublin. From here, you can enjoy a nice stroll around the walk loop, visit the seaport village, and take a boat out at sea to name a few.

Burren National Park, the smallest of the six National Parks in Ireland, is located just outside of Cliffs of Moher. The National Park is dominated by limestone pavement with patches of plants which is a unique sight to see in Ireland.burren_2
