Know before you goWhile just about any month is great to visit Ireland, there are a few prime times of the year for the Best of Ireland tour. Here are some recommendations from our destination experts.
Spring: After a sleepy winter, the Emerald Isle reveals its lush landscape against fields bursting with bluebells, daffodils, and frolicking spring lambs. The season heralds longer days, which means more time to visit must-see sites without the crowds.
Summer: In the course of a summer day in Ireland, it might feel like you’re experiencing all four seasons! As the sun sets late in the evening, longer days mean having more time to take in the spectacular scenery and see the landscape in full bloom.
Fall: Ireland turns red and gold in autumn, enhancing the emerald colors of its epic landscape, so it’s appealing to leaf peepers, too. Also, it’s a cozy time to visit.

Venture though Connemara National Park, where bogs and forests cut through the rolling mountains. Take in breathtaking scenery before arriving at Kylemore Abbey, situated on the shores of Pollacapall Lough. The monastery was founded in 1920, but the castle that houses the abbey was previously a private home. Explore the abbey with an expert guide, getting a glimpse into this storied building’s past. Containing over 50 rooms, in addition to incomparable views of the natural landscape, a visit to Kylemore Abbey is more than you would expect of an Irish monastery. With free time to discover the area more on your own, perhaps you’ll wander through the extensive gardens or rest along the shore.
This culinary and cultural adventure begins at the Guinness Storehouse, Ireland's top international visitor attraction. This self-guided tour allows you time to wander over 7 floors with your audio guide, learning about how Guinness is brewed, it's various advertising campaigns over the years, and of course you get to taste the iconic drink at its spectacular Gravity Bar. Enjoy a sweeping 360º view of Dublin as you savor a complimentary pint. Then, indulge in a quintessential Irish dinner at a contemporary restaurant that explores “New Irish Cuisine,” serving up cutting-edge dishes using the freshest, local ingredients.
