The Ireland Travel Guide: 150 Best Things to Do (Printable + iPad)

Ireland is one island with two jurisdictions, a loop of Atlantic coast, castles and monasteries, music pubs and a lot of weather, and most first trips come down to the same question: what is actually worth your limited days? This guide sorts 150 places, outdoor spots, hikes and foods across Dublin and the Ancient East, Cork and the South, Kerry and the Southwest, Galway, Clare and the West, Sligo, Donegal and the Northwest, and Northern Ireland, checked in October 2026 against official sources.

WHAT'S INSIDE

• 150 places and experiences, grouped into 18 regions and themes (sights, outdoors and hikes, and food and drink in each of six regions)
• A short note on every entry: what it is, why it's worth it, and the tip that saves you time
• Prices in euros for the Republic and in pounds sterling for Northern Ireland, with a plain note on what changes when you cross the border (currency, the UK ETA, driving on the left on both sides)
• Ticket, booking and access rules flagged where they apply (Book of Kells timed tickets, Kilmainham Gaol and Newgrange tours, the Cliffs of Moher Coastal Walk closure, Carrick-a-Rede booking, Skellig Michael's season, winter hours from November and more)
• Honest notes on current conditions as of October 2026: the Dublin Castle campus closure, storm warnings, island ferries and seasonal sites closing for winter, and Peace Walls, Famine, Troubles and memorial sites described in neutral, official-source wording
• Food chapters built around what to eat and where to look for it (full Irish, boxty, seafood chowder, soda bread, oysters, Ulster fry and more), plus the named places that could be confirmed
• A progress page to tally each region as you go
• Two editions in one download: - Print edition: 28 pages, US Letter (prints cleanly on A4) - iPad edition: 34 pages for GoodNotes, Notability or any PDF app, with a tappable contents page

PERFECT FOR

• First-time visitors choosing between Dublin, the south, the west and the north
• Anyone building their own road trip or rail-and-bus itinerary who wants a checked shortlist
• Repeat visitors looking for something new
