If you're truly unlucky, you'll see the Connemara coast beneath a sky of pure blue. Because Ireland is even more attractive under its clouds, so grey they turn blue, playing hide-and-seek with the sun. Shadows shift, colours melt, light becomes both soft and dramatic. Bright notes appear here and there in Dublin – painted doors, coloured walls. Then comes the rain, the perfect excuse to take shelter in a pub and order an Irish coffee. If it is morning, you may linger over an Irish breakfast – fried eggs, sausages, beans, mashed potatoes. Blasta!

Travel to Ireland by region

Connemara & Western Ireland

From Galway to Sligo, the west of Ireland offers you an immersion in fascinating landscapes of heather-covered moorlands and peat bogs, cliffs plunging into the sea, and estuaries winding through the hills before finally reaching the ocean. During your trip to Connemara and the west of Ireland, you will journey from villages with stone houses to hiking trails along the cliffs, megalithic sites dating back several thousand years to the lively towns of Galway and Clifden, and from traditional pubs to golf courses. A stay in Connemara and the west of Ireland will offer you a full taste of the generous and festive spirit of the country!

Donegal & Northern Ireland

Steep cliffs plunging into the sea, wind-swept hills, as well as small, welcoming towns where Gaelic is still spoken, County Donegal and Northern Ireland have much to offer their visitors! Your journey to Donegal and Northern Ireland will lead you to the second highest cliffs in Europe, home to numerous birds, at Slieve League; to the medieval Donegal Castle; hiking in the Bluestack Mountains; and, for the more adventurous, an introduction to surfing on the Atlantic waves. A stay in Donegal and Northern Ireland is also an opportunity to experience the warmth and simplicity of Irish hospitality!

Dublin & surroundings

Renowned for its vibrancy and entertainment, the Irish capital, Dublin, is also the youngest and most welcoming city in Europe. At the mouth of the Liffey, facing the Irish Sea and the English coast, Dublin preserves an exceptional heritage. During your stay in Dublin and its surrounding region, you can admire the famous Book of Kells, one of the oldest manuscripts in Europe, on display at Trinity College, visit the 13th-century St Patrick’s Cathedral, and also go shopping on O’Connell Street before setting out for a hike in the nearby Wicklow Mountains National Park. A trip to Dublin and its surrounding region is the best way to get onto Irish time!

Kerry & Southern Ireland

Magnificent landscapes featuring cliffs, vast beaches, windswept moors, forests and mountains, abbeys and medieval castles, remnants of Neolithic forts and lively towns – these will be just some of the highlights of your stay in Kerry and southern Ireland. From Cork to Kerry, you can discover the soul and traditions of Ireland, its zest for life, sense of celebration and hospitality. You can also try surfing, go fishing, cycling, or take an excursion to the Dingle Peninsula, renowned for its scenery, or to the Beara Peninsula. A journey to Kerry and the south of Ireland, and the full magic of Ireland is revealed!

Northern Ireland

A small part of the United Kingdom nestled on the island of Ireland, Northern Ireland or Ulster offers magnificent landscapes and a fascinating historical heritage, which remains to be discovered during your stay in Northern Ireland. From the city of Belfast to the famous Giant’s Causeway, from the Beaghmore stone circles dating back to the Bronze Age to the medieval Carrickfergus Castle, a journey through Northern Ireland will allow you to discover the traditions and sometimes difficult history of this land torn between Ireland and England. You can enjoy a variety of activities there, such as fishing, golf, surfing, canoeing and hiking.

Our Ireland
specialists

Peat bogs, rust-coloured moorland and black cliffs set the tone in Ireland. To explore them properly, you'll need to follow the guide – or rather, the guides. While our travel specialist serves as your main point of contact, they are backed up at your destination by a network of experts, including concierges and long-term residents eager to help you discover their adopted home. Along the way, stories and legends feed the imagination of travellers young and old. And if, once there, you decide to extend the adventure, that flexibility is encouraged. At Voyageurs, we call it “unstructured journey”.
