Things to do in Ireland?

PH4NT0MBL4DE · 4 Jun 2014 at 11:19

I am thinking of taking my wife over to Ireland for a few days. She has always wanted to go there. However I know nothing about Ireland and nor does she lol. Where are the best places to visit? Any nice things to do while there? Is there any type of tour holidays there? And can we travel to Ireland with just a driving license or do we need passports?

Thanks

Things to do in Ireland?

Drink Guinness?

On a more serious note, I would recommend Giants Causeway. I'm not sure you'll need passports, but would take them just encase, you cannot always be sure!

Wear both a Celtic and a Rangers top - confuse everybody :cool:

e: not separately - you'll get beaten or killed.

Dublin is a lovely city with plenty to do and failing that you can just sit drinking proper Guinness in a pub with table service which they all seem to do so no need to move!

I'm toying with the idea of cycling some of the Atlantic Way as my summer holiday. There is lots of arty stuff in Galway and great seafood everywhere. I imagine the sailing and golf are good if you are into that stuff.

Second week can be a real riot around here, you'll have a blast.

Highly recommended, suggest you head up to Twadell Avenue in East Belfast on the 12th of July for the annual debris throwing championship.

Also the police playing their annual game of British bulldog with a line of land-rovers and "who can catch the plastic bullet in your face and complain the the Ombudsman fastest" championship.

giants causeway is northern ireland very pricey car park, tehnically no need for a passport but if your flying then youll need one. taking a ferry is ok. theres castles about and the coast road is a pretty easy way to navigate antrim.

if you go antrim then theres a few nice forests, castles and glens all along the coast, carrickfergus and dunluce spring to mind.

down south dublin is a good shoutout. plenty to see and do.

if you take a ferry, a car, and a satnav then youll be pretty
much able to go anywhere with no passport, just remember if you go down south the speed limits are kmh not mph.

If flying you don't need a passport, a U.K. driving licence is perfectly fine.

Depends on airline, I've always required a passport when flying Ryanair

I don't think you will make it out of there alive.
