Irish Road Trip: A Banging 2 Week Ireland Itinerary

Disclaimer : We may receive a small fee for any purchases made through links in this post. Learn more

Because of how easy it is to navigate, its relatively small size, and above all, the breathtaking scenery, Ireland is the perfect destination for a truly unforgettable Irish road trip.

Our 2 week Ireland itinerary allowed us to drive around virtually the entire island, taking in many of Ireland’s most famous landmarks along the way.

It was one of the most exciting adventures we’ve been on yet, partly because it’s completely different to how we usually travel – a road trip is definitely the best way to see Ireland. 

We spent a long time planning our Ireland driving routes, as well as what to see and do whilst we were there, and came up with what we think is a pretty cracking Ireland road trip.

So get your driving gloves at the ready and let’s get your trip around Ireland in the making. 

Best Time To Visit Ireland

Although you can never be guaranteed sunshine everyday, Ireland has it’s best weather over its summer months. You should still expect wind and rain on any given day, but summer showers don’t tend to last more than a few hours.

June-August temperatures are on average 16 – 20°C (60 – 68°F) and the days are long. It doesn’t usually get dark until after 11pm.

Ireland is however a hugely popular tourist destination and the island has over 10 million tourists visiting each year – mostly over the summer months, peaking in August.

So if you want to avoid Irelands busiest time but still get relatively mild weather, we think he shoulder seasons are the best time to go to Ireland. Specifically April-May or September. You will find that accommodation prices aren’t as high during these months too. Bonus.

Having said that Ireland has an excellent tourism infrastructure, so don’t be concerned with planning a trip to Ireland over summer either. 

How To Get To Ireland 

There are a number of ways in which you can get to Ireland for your Ireland road trip and it will of course be different depending on where you are travelling from.

From further afield, such as the USA, the again Irish owned airline Aer Lingus is usually the best economical option. Being the capital, Dublin airport has the most flight options. But the international airports in Cork, Shannon and Belfast also have plenty of routes.

From the UK and Europe the budget Irish owned airline, RyanAir usually has the best deals and numerous flight routes. We flew into Knock airport in County Mayo, near Sligo, from the UK with RyanAir. 

But there are plenty of other airlines such as Easyjet, Flybe and Aer Lingus too that service Europe – Ireland travel. 

Alternatively, if you are coming from mainland UK you may choose to take the Ferry across the Irish sea. Especially if you live in the mainland UK and have your own car, that way you can just take it with you for your driving tour of Ireland.

Ireland’s two main ports are in Belfast, Dublin and depending on where you are travelling from in mainland UK, there’s a few different crossing options. 

Ports in Holyhead, Wales and Liverpool, England both operate ferry crossings to Dublin. 

The crossing from Holyhead to Dublin is around 3 hours and operated by Stena Line and Irish Ferries. The Liverpool to Dublin ferry is operated by P&O ferries and will take around 8 hours. 

To start your Ireland trip itinerary in Belfast, Northern Ireland you’d would cross from either Liverpool Birkenhead in England or Cairnryan in Scotland.

Both routes are serviced by Stena line. From Liverpool Birkenhead the sailing time is 8 hours and from Cairnryan just under 2.5 hours. 

But there are other Irish ports with ferry crossings from the UK.

Hiring A Car in Ireland

Depending on how you choose to get to Ireland, will depend on where you start your Ireland road trip itinerary. However, you can pick a hire car up at all the airports and ferry ports we have mentioned above so there’s no drama there.

Although automatic cars are available, many are manual, so if you prefer not to or don’t know how to drive a stick shift be sure to book your Ireland car hire well in advance.

Because the roads are quite narrow in many places around Ireland we recommend choosing a small car over a great big SUV.

Ireland Driving Tips

First and foremost, the thing to remember about driving in Ireland is that they drive on the left. 

But it’s not something to worry about, if you’re a competent driver you’ll pick the change up quickly. And the fact that the driving seat will be the opposite in car you hire in Ireland will make it easier. 

Roundabouts are the trickiest as you need to go the opposite way around to what you are used to and you’ll need to get used to change gears with the opposite hand in manuals.

But then just remember that the driver is always sitting towards the center of the road and Bob’s your Uncle.

As I mentioned above, some of the roads in Ireland are very narrow, to the point of single file traffic in some places where you’ll need to pull over or backup to left oncoming traffic past. 

They are always very windy so drive slow and be patient, you never know what might be round the corner. Likely a flock of sheep. I’m not joking there. 

We always take out separate insurance when we hire a rental car abroad. This is because it’s way cheaper and they often provide more comprehensive cover than the car hire company. 

You may also have insurance through your credit card or travel insurance, but double check this covers Ireland. Many don’t due to the trickier driving conditions. 

Most car hire companies in Ireland have car hire age limits , with a maximum of 75 years and a minimum of 25.

However, some companies will rent to drivers between 18-25 but with an additional ‘Young Driver Fee’. So if you do fall into either of those age brackets check the T&C’s carefully. 

It’s also important to get familiar with the Ireland road signs before you go as unless you’re from Europe they will be completely different to what you’re used to.

And lastly, yeah I know how tempting the Guinness is, but if you’re driving don’t risk it. The legal limits are low. And with this 2 week Ireland driving tour you’ll have plenty of time for a pint or two after you’ve parked up for the day.  

What to Pack for Ireland 

In line with the changeable weather conditions, the key for what to pack for Ireland is layers, layers and more layers. It can go from bright sunshine to sideways rain and near gail force winds in minutes. 

Plus you’ll be nice and toasty in the car, but as soon as you step out to admire a viewpoint – which you’ll be doing a lot – you’ll want a quick extra layer or two. A light but high tog feather down jacket is a good shout.

And a solid waterproof is also non-negotiable. Don’t bother with an umbrella, it’s not worth the fight with the coastal winds.

Because our 2 week Ireland itinerary has a few optional hikes included it’ll be a good idea to pack some suitable comfortable footwear for that.

And some good travel socks. 

You’ll want sunglasses too.

And don’t forget a universal power plug and a portable power bank.

A travel adaptor that works anywhere in the world? Yes please. It’s one of the most useful things we own & an absolute essential for your trip. This one’s lightweight, durable & also has 1 USB-C port and 2 standard USBs. Get one in your bag.

What else? Oh yeah, in case your Ireland hire car doesn’t have bluetooth – you’ll want to pack a handy travel speaker so you can crank up your Spotify tunes or listen to a podcast. 

Ireland Road Trip Itinerary

Okily dokily, lets in into our destination recommendations for your road trip around Ireland. 

We did this Ireland road trip route in 14 days/2weeks and think it was a perfect combination of busy but not just constantly driving around only getting a glimpse at places.

For your Ireland driving trip we’ll highlight the best things to do in each place, what to see on route, plus recommendations for where to stay for every budget.

We also plotted all of the stops on a handy Ireland road trip map for you.

Day 1-2: Arrive In Dublin & Explore The City

Depending on what time you arrive to start your Ireland vacation itinerary, you may only have a part of a day on your first day. But equally if you arrive early in the day, rest assured there’s an abundance of unmissable things to do in Dublin.

So it’s for that reason we recommend putting 2 nights in Dublin on your Irish road trip itinerary.

Where To Stay In Dublin

If you’re after an affordable but luxurious stay in Dublin, Stauntons on the Green Hotel is a beautiful hotel. For a cheaper alternative, the Maldron Hotel is central and has great ratings. Or if you’re on a tighter budget, Generator Dublin , is the best hostel in Dublin. 

Things To Do In Dublin

One of the great things about the capital of Ireland is that many of the best things to do Dublin are completely free. So even if your accommodation costs a bit more than elsewhere in Ireland, you’ll still be quids in on that front.

It’s also a very walkable city so you won’t need to get your hire car straight away. 

Here’s our recommended Dublin highlights for a first trip to Ireland.

• Do a Sandemans Free Walking Tour
• Visit Trinity College & The Book of Kells
• Check out the Grafton Street musicians
• Drop by EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum
• Go to the GPO Witness History Museum

Day 3: Rock of Cashel & Blarney Castle

No need to get up at the crack of dawn but you should make an earlish start today and head off straight after breakfast. Because you’re heading down to Cork, will a couple of stops on the on this leg of the best Ireland road trip.

First up we recommend calling at the Rock of Cashel. It’s one of Ireland’s most visited historic sights and for good reason. You see all perched on top of a limestone rock are a fascinating collection of medieval buildings.

It should take you just under 2 and a half hours to drive here from Dublin and plan to spend around an hour here which will allow time for you to take the guided tour that is included in the admission fee.

Next up on this Ireland self drive tour you’re onto get yourself the gift of the gab at Blarney Castle. The buildings and grounds are lovely to walk around but what you’re really there to do of course is kiss the famous Blarney Stone.

The drive between Rock of Cashel and Blarney Castle is around an hour and 15. 

You should allow yourself at least a couple hours at Blarney Castle and be prepared to wait in line for your Blarney Stone pucker up at peak times over summer. 

From Blarney Castle to Cork is just around 20 minutes.

Because you’ll be arriving in Cork city later in the day, we recommend checking into your Cork accommodation for 2 nights so that you actually get to see the city before heading off to the next stop on your trip around Ireland. 

Where To Stay In Cork

The best rated central hotel in Cork is The River Lee Hotel , it’s modern and stylish with a pool and free parking. A cheaper option is Garnish House , there’s free parking and breakfast has great reviews. Kinlay House Hostel Cork is a winner for a basic, no frills backpacker stay. 

Day 4: Explore Cork & Whiskey Tasting

If you’re a whiskey fan, visiting the Jameson’s Distillery in Midleton is a must for your Ireland trip planner. They have tours and tastings throughout the day. If you planning on doing a tasting and hence obvs not driving, jumping on a train or bus is easy to go the 25km.

You can read about our Jameson Whiskey tasting experience here .

Within Cork City centre there are also lots of interesting things to see and learn about. Here’s our highlights of what else to do on your day in Cork.

• Sample the goods at The English Market
• Wander down St Patrick’s Street
• Check out St. Fin Barre’s Cathedral
• Stop by Fitzgerald Park and Cork Public Museum
• Learn the history of Cork City Gaol

These 3 hour self guided walking audio tours are a great accompaniment to exploring Cork, it takes you around all the top sights while telling you about the history and culture of the city.

Day 5: Visit Cobh

After breakfast, it’s time to head out to the County Cork coast, to the colorful and vibrant town of Cobh.

Stepped in history it was the embarkation point of Ireland’s mass emigration and the Titanic’s last port of call in 1912. From 1919 to 1921, during the war of Independence Cobh was also one of the most violent places in Ireland.

The best way to get to know the history is to take a walking tour.

This one is 2 hours and takes you around all the spots of historic ambushes as your guide brings to life County Cork’s armed resistance against the British Empire.

Or alternatively this 3 hour cultural tour includes the Titanic Trail Guided Walking Tour and entrance to the Heritage Center where amongst other things you can learn about the fascinating dark period of convict transportation to Australia.  

The first tours are at 11am, so get yourself there for then. 

Driving time from Cork to Cobh is just 30 minutes. 

For a late lunch, The Quays Bar and Restaurant has great food, great service and great views. 

From Cobh you’re heading up to Killarney, the drive is around an hour and a half.

You going to need a day to explore Killarney National Park and a day to drive the Ring of Kerry so you should book three nights at your Killarney accommodation .

Where To Stay in Killarney

The Black Sheep Hostel is one of the best hostels we’ve stayed in. Not just in Ireland. Period. For more of a mid-range stay, Ashville House is a lovely little family run B&B with great breakfasts. Or if you’re after some more luxury, The Killarney Park with spa is a top choice.

Not found the perfect travel camera yet? We have. The Olympus Tough Tg-6 is waterproof, shockproof, dust proof, crush proof & freeze proof. But best of all it takes awesome photos with very little skill required.

Day 6: Killarney National Park

Starting just a couple of km from Killarney town centre, Killarney National Park is over 103km² of lush green woodland and vast lakes surrounded by snow capped mountains.

Here’s the highlights of Killarney National Park for your Ireland tour itinerary:

• Muckross House, Abbey & Farms
• Killarney House and Gardens
• Ross Castle & Lough Leane
• Torc Waterfall & Mount Torc hike

And you fancy a break from driving around Ireland, you can take a tour of Killarney National Park on one of the traditional jaunting carts instead.

The pub scene in Killarney with it’s live music is absolutely cracking. Our favourite pub is Courtney’s but any along Plunkett Street will do. 

You can find more recommendations in our full guide to Killarney .   

Day 7: The Ring of Kerry

The Ring of Kerry refers to a scenic route around the Iveragh Peninsula of County Kerry.

Most guided tours only last only a few hours, but we spent about 8 hours driving the Ring of Kerry. And could have easily have spent even more time on it. You just feel like pulling the car over every 5 minutes to take in the gorgeous views.

Because the tour buses go anti-clockwise, we recommend driving the Ring of Kerry clockwise so you don’t get stuck behind them or have to share the viewpoints with lots of people. 

So head straight into Killarney National Park and onto Sneem, making sure you pull over at the picturesque viewing points of Ladies View and Molls Gap. If you fancy stretching your legs, there’s a nice short walk in Sneem called ‘The Way the Fairies Went’.

Caherdaniel is also a great place on the Ring of Kerry for a stop off too. If you’re not the one driving grab a cheeky in The Blind Piper. And don’t miss Derrynane and Rossbeigh beach. 

We also suggest including the 18km detour around the Skellig Ring, you won’t regret it.

Do be extra careful and pay attention on the Ring of Kerry roads. Where we mentioned above that some are so narrow you may need to back up to let traffic pass, this is one of those places. Especially if you meet one of the tour buses.

Day 8: Cliffs of Moher, Doolin & The Burren

Okay, you need to be up and at ‘em for day eight of this self drive Ireland itinerary because quite a bit of driving and some big landscapes to see.

First up are the mighty Cliffs of Moher. From Killarney, the drive is just over two and a half hours. The huge sea cliffs run for 14km and reach 214 metres above the Atlantic Ocean at their highest point. 

There’s a visitor information centre and two paths you can take to explore the cliff tops – one south and one north. The views are insane a clear enough day you’ll be able to see the Aran Islands up in Galway Bay.

For lunch head on up the coast a few km, to the attractive colorful village of Doolin. Gus O’Connors pub , a traditional tavern that opened in 1832 has some tasty traditional Irish grub.

Once your refueled, it’s time to take on the vastness of The Burren, a further 15min drive up the rugged coastline of the Wild Atlantic Way of West Ireland.

Formed millions of years ago, the karst Burren landscape feels otherworldly, especially accompanied by the silence. There’s over 80 ancient tombs scattered across it, so park up and take a wander.

From The Burren you’re away up to Galway, which you should make in just under an hour and a half.  

It’ll be quite late in the day by the time you arrive, so you’ll need to book accommodation for two nights in Galway so that you have time to explore the actual city itself. Which is an absolute gem by the way.

Where To Stay in Galway

For affordable luxury there’s The Galmont Hotel & Spa overlooking Galway Bay with onsite parking and waterfront terrace. St. Judes Lodge B&B is a good shout for a more homely option. Or the well designed Kinlay House Eyre Square Hostel for cheap and cheerful stay.

Day 9: Explore Galway

Otherwise known as ‘The City of 14 Tribes’, after the 14 merchant families who controlled the as aspects of life of the city for over six centuries, Galway is a fascinating city with a rich history.

The brightly coloured streets and alive with music and bustling night and day. And although it a very popular Ireland destinations, it wears it’s high tourism levels seemingly effortlessly.

Here’s some of the best things to do in Galway:

• Learn the dark history of Lynch’s Window
• Take in the Spanish Arch & Galway City Walls
• Check out the inside of Galway Cathedral
• Take a Eglinton Canal or Corrib River walk
• Take a stroll along Salthill Promenade
• Discover Irish heritage at the Claddagh Museum 
• A symbol of Irish heritage, the famous Claddagh
• Take a stroll out to Mutton Island or Menlo Castle
• Try oysters on a Galway Food Tour

For more information on things to do in Galway, you can check out our full guide here .

Day 10: Connemara Loop & Kylemore Abbey 

Today your Irish road trip will see you continuing up the Wild Atlantic Way to check out the enchanting Kylemore Abbey, drive the stunning Connemara Loop and take a hike in Connemara National Park.

It’s a long day so get up and out early. 

We advise heading along the coastal road through Barna and Spiddal, then crossing up inland through Screebe to Maam Cross.

This is where the Connemara Loop begins. 

From there head up to Letterfrack, swinging left onto the R344 after Recess to take you up past Lough Inagh.

It should take you just under two hours. 

Your first stop is Kylemore Abbey. Nestled in the greenery on the banks of Pollacapal Lough, it really does look like something out of a magical fairytale.

The building is magnificent, as is the Victorian Walled Garden.

Next it’s time to work off some of those Guinness calories on a hike around the beautiful Connemara National Park.

From the visitors centre, there are 4 clearly marked trails.

There’s the easy ½ mile Ellis Wood route, the Sruffaunboy 1 mile route, the Lower Diamond Hill 2 miles route and the Upper Diamond Hill 2¼ miles route.

If you have the time and energy we recommend heading all the way up to the summit of Diamond Hill on the Upper trail. It’s quite strenuous and rocky near the top but the views reward your effort.

It’s 4½ miles in total and you should allow 2-3 hours.

From Letterfrack, head on up around the peninsula towards Tully Cross and onto Gowlaun and past Lough Fee. This part of the Connemara Loop and the Wild Atlantic Way is a seriously gorgeous drive.

From there you’ll drop back onto the N59 and you’re away up to your next overnight stay in the seaside town of Sligo. It’s about a 2 hour drive.

For this road trip through Ireland, you’re just going to need to book one night in Sligo.

Where To Stay in Sligo

The beautifully renovated Beehive Hostel complete with the coolest pugs is seriously lovely. 

Alternatively The Driftwood near Rosses Point Beach is a fab individual little spot. Or if you’re after somewhere more classy, The Glasshouse with its floor to ceiling windows.

Still trying to choose your backpack? Look no further! The Osprey Farpoint 70 Travel Backpack is perfect for big trips. It’s lightweight but durable, incredibly comfortable, super spacious and even has a detachable daypack.

Day 11: Explore County Sligo

Okay time to take in some of the most beguiling landscapes in County Sligo with a ginormous waterfall and beaut of a coastal walk!

The Devil’s Chimney, right on the border with County Leitrim is the tallest waterfall in Ireland. 

The vertical drop of 150m is however best seen after heavy rainfall, so you should cross your fingers for bad weather this morning on your driving trip through Ireland.

The 1.2km walking trail should take around 45 minutes and it’s just a 15 minute drive from Sligo.

Next up, Mullaghmore Head. This 8km coastal walk is a seriously pretty one starting from the carpark in Mullaghmore village. It’s roughly a half hour drive from the Devil’s Chimney.

If either of these ideas for where to go in Ireland doesn’t float your boat, you can find you can find plenty of other things in our full guide to Sligo .

After exploring County Sligo, you’re on your way up to Derry Londonderry and crossing into Northern Ireland. From Mullaghmore Head it’s around an hour and a half drive. 

You’ll be stopping in Derry for 2 nights. It’s a bonny city with a dramatic story. And one of our favourite places to visit in Ireland. 

Where To Stay in Derry Londonderry

When it comes to hostels in Derry Ireland, Hostel Connect is the one, they have privates and dorms. Alternatively homey Amore Bed & Breakfast is a gem of a place to stay. Or if you’re looking for a proper treat, the Shipquay Boutique Hotel has awesome reviews. 

Day 12: Explore Derry

Interestingly, the city of Derry is the only completely walled city that remains in tact in Ireland. It’s a huge part of the city’s history. In fact many things to do in Derry are centered around it’s tragic yet fascinating history.

Here’s what not to miss in Derry Londonderry:

• Take a walking tour on Derry City walls
• Visit the Museum of Free Derry 
• Take a tour of the Bogside murals
• Explore Derry’s Craft Village
• Take in Peace Bridge & The Guildhall

And after all the exploring and learning, there’s a whole street of traditional pubs with live music. Peadar O’Donnells and The Gweedore Bar are top draw.

Naturally with so many pubs, there’s also lots of tasty typical Irish food knocking about.

You can find more of our recommendations for what to do in Derry Londonderry here . 

Day 13: The Causeway Coastal route 

While you’re travelling around Ireland, it’s hard to believe that the landscape can keep getting better. But they do. And the Causeway Coastal route is the perfect example.

You’ll need an early start to fit in all of the road trip Ireland suggestions for today.

First up, you’re headed to Mussenden Temple. Dramatically perched on a cliff top overlooking Downhill beach, Games of Thrones fans will immediately recognise this ornate building.

From Derry City to Mussenden Temple the drive is about 45 minutes.

Second up is iconic ruins of medieval Dunluce Castle. Set on a rocky outcrop, a footbridge connects the dramatically positioned castle with the mainland. 

It’s a half hour drive from Mussenden Temple to Dunluce Castle.

Next up, it’s the world renowned Giant’s Causeway.

These mystical hexagonal columns extend like steps way out into the sea. As soon as you see them you’ll understand why there are so many myths about their formation and provides an explanation for their fantastical name.

It’s just 10 minutes in the car and you’ll need at least a couple of hours to explore this favourite destination in Northern Ireland.

Then it’s time to walk the rope bridge at Carrick-a-Rede. Initially constructed by salmon fishermen in 1755, the 20m bridge links the mainland to the tiny Carrick-a-Rede island and isn’t for the faint hearted.

It’s just 15 minutes up the road from the Giant’s Causeway.

Okay now to head inland to one of the most striking roads in Ireland and another must for Game of Thrones fans, The Dark Hedges. This avenue of dramatic beech trees along Bregagh Road is an absolute must for your Irish road trip.

It’s just 20 minutes inland from the Causeway Coast.

From there you’re onto Belfast which is just under an hours drive away – told you it’s an action packed day driving the Causeway Coast.

You’ll need 2 nights in Belfast for this Ireland 2 week itinerary.

Where To Stay in Belfast

If you’re after a good quality hostel in Belfast, Vagabonds has the best reviews of the bunch. For somewhere more comfortable, the central and modern ETAP Hotel Belfast is really great value. Or alternatively if you’d prefer a studio, The Flint is very reasonable and very popular.

Day 14: Belfast

The very first thing you want to be organising to do in Belfast for your first trip to Ireland itinerary is a walking tour with Dead Centre Tours . These guys are just the best guides.

They’ll literally walk you through the history of The Troubles in the city, taking you around pointant locations from the cities traumatic past. It’s one of the best tours we’ve been on.

You can read our full review here .

For more things to do in Belfast we recommend you:

• Visit the Titanic Belfast Museum
• Take in grand City Hall
• Wander around the Botanic Gardens
• Take a tour of the Crumlin Road Gaol
• Go to the Stormont Parliament Buildings
• Have a pint in the Crown Liquor Saloon
• Hop in a black cab around the Peace Walls

Day 15: Back to Dublin

Well as they say, all good things must come to an end. Today’s it’s time to head back to Dublin. To the start. If you’re not leaving the Emerald Isle until later in the day and have the time, be sure to make a stop off at the pretty Irish village of Howth on the Howth Peninsula.

There’s a stunning cliff top trail and being home to some of the oldest occupied buildings in Ireland, lots of medieval ruins.

Driving time from Belfast City to Howth is just under 2 hours.

If you’re heading straight to Dublin airport and dropping your Ireland hire car off there allow for an hour and 45 minutes. Or straight into Dublin City Centre, 2 hours.

If you have any unanswered questions about driving through Ireland or planning your Ireland driving routes hit us up in the comments and we’ll do our best to help.

As you can see, we have 14-day Ireland itinerary guides that cover every angle we could think of.

All you need to do to find your perfect itinerary is read the section below  carefully .

How to browse our Ireland in 2 weeks itineraries

The handiest way to browse our itineraries is to select, from the list below, where you’re starting your road trip from/near.

We’ve used the main entry points to Ireland for those of you flying in or arriving by ferry.

Simply click one of the start points below and you’ll be taken to 2 weeks in Ireland itineraries that start at that location:

14 days in Ireland from Dublin

This is a  sample  14-day itinerary

If you’re looking to explore Ireland in 2 weeks and you’re starting from County Dublin, this section is for you.

There are two sections below, split depending on how you plan on getting around Ireland .

As we explained in this graphic , ‘Fast Trips’ are for those of you looking to see/do as much as possible and who don’t  mind moving hotel regularly and ‘Slow Trips’ are ones where you’ll move accommodation as little as possible.

For those of you with a car

• A 14-day slow trip for those with good fitness
• A 14-day slow trip for those with low fitness
• A 14-day fast trip for those with good fitness
• A 14-day fast trip for those with low fitness

For those of you using public transport

If you’re starting your 14-day Ireland itinerary in Dublin, the route above is hard to beat.

Although it varies slightly depending on how you’re getting around Ireland, both the car rental and the public transport itineraries take in many of Ireland’s top sights.

Over the course of your 2 weeks in Ireland you’ll:

• Explore the many things to do in Dublin
• Explore the Clare Coast, including Doolin and the Cliffs of Moher
• Take a day trip to Wicklow, Meath and Louth
• See Galway City, Connemara and Cong
• Tackle the Ring of Kerry Drive , explore the Dingle Peninsula and see a chunk of West Cork

2 weeks in Ireland from Shannon

This is a sample 14-day itinerary.

If you’re looking for a 14-day Ireland itinerary that kicks off in Shannon, this section should tickle your fancy.

We’ve split up the different itineraries into ones for those of you using a car and ones for those of you that aren’t.

As we mentioned in this graphic , our fast 2 weeks in Ireland itineraries are for those of you looking to explore as much as possible and who don’t  mind moving about a lot.

Our slow itineraries are ones where you’ll move accommodation as little as is physically possible.

An overview of the route from Shannon

A lot of people start their 14-day Ireland itinerary from Shannon due to the convenience of flying into Shannon Airport.

One of the benefits of starting from here is that you’re kicking off your 14 days in Ireland a stone’s throw from some of the country’s most popular attractions

If you follow our route from Shannon, you’ll:

• Explore Connemara National Park
• See the mighty Inis Mor Island
• Visit Bunratty Castle before heading into the ancient Limerick City
• See Killarney National Park and its many attractions
• Visit Blarney Castle and tackle the many things to do in Cobh

Ireland itinerary 14 days from Belfast

This is one of our sample 14-day trips from Belfast

Another great way to tackle Ireland in 2 weeks is to fly/get the ferry into Belfast and take it from there.

Belfast is a great starting point for a road trip as you can explore the Antrim Coast before continuing on to Derry and Donegal.

Like we explain in this graphic , we split up our itineraries below into two sections – 1 section is for those using a car and the other is for those that aren’t.

An overview of the route from Belfast

This 14-day Ireland itinerary is one of my favourites in this guide as it takes in some of the most scenic parts of the country.

You’ll kick things off by spinning along the Antrim Coast, with a whole host of stops to choose from along the way.

If you follow our route from Belfast, you’ll:

• Explore the Causeway Coastal Route
• Tackle some of the best things to do in Belfast
• See the best of the Boyne Valley
• Spin around a good chunk of the Wild Atlantic Way

2 weeks in Ireland from Rosslare

This is one of our sample 14-day trips from Wexford

If you’re spending 2 weeks in Ireland and you’re arriving at the ferry terminal at Rosslare, we’ve plenty of itineraries ready for you.

Now, as was the case with the ones above, we’ve split them into 2; 1 section is for those of you with a car and another for those of you using public transport.

If you’re wondering what ‘Fast Trips’ and ‘Slow Trips’ are, refer to this graphic at the top of the guide.

An overview of the route from Wexford

Now, this 14-day Ireland itinerary varies a lot  depending on whether or not you’re getting around in a car.

The public transport around some of the more remote parts of Wexford, in particular, are what causes there to be such a contrast in the different itineraries.

If you follow our route from Wexford, you’ll:

• See the glorious Hook Peninsula
• Ramble around the town of Kinsale
• Tackle some of the best things to do in Killarney
• Explore the mighty Dingle Peninsula

14 days in Ireland from Cork

This is one of our sample 14-day trips from Cork

Our 14-day Ireland itinerary guides that kick off in Cork take in some of the best that Ireland has to offer.

You can choose (or opt out of) some magnificent walking trails, soak up spectacular scenery and step back in time at heritage sites.

These are some of our more popular 2 weeks in Ireland itineraries. As usual, we’ve split them up for those of you with a car and for those of you without one.

An overview of the route from Cork

Cork is a great starting point for a road trip. At the start of the trip, you can spend a bit of time in the city before moving into the wilds of West Cork.

Our itineraries from Cork then take you around the coast, into Kerry and up towards Limerick before heading to Dublin and back to Cork.

If you follow our route from Cork, you’ll see:

• The beautiful Beara Peninsula
• Wild West Cork
• The Ring of Kerry
• A chunk of Limerick, Tipperary and Clare

Ireland in 2 weeks from Knock

This is one of our sample 14-day trips from Mayo.

Although there likely won’t be a huge number of people looking for a 14-day Ireland itinerary that starts in Knock, we felt it important to include it as a start-point.

I can safely say that the public transport road trips from Knock were  very  tricky to research and map out. However, it was worth it.

Below, you can pick a 2 weeks in Ireland itinerary kicking off in Mayo based on trip speed, your fitness and how you’ll get around (we explain how to browse the itineraries in this graphic ).

An overview of the route from Knock

If your 2 week Ireland itinerary kicks off in Knock, you’re in luck – Mayo is home to an endless number of adventure opportunities.

Now, the public transport itineraries vs the car itineraries vary a fair bit due to the lack of buses and trains in places, but both versions pack a punch.

If you follow our route from Knock, you’ll:

• Explore Achill Island
• Tackle some of the best things to do in Galway
• See some of the finest beaches in Ireland
• Spend time in Sligo and plenty more

2 weeks in Ireland from Donegal

This is one of our sample 14-day trips from Donegal

The last of our 2 week Ireland itinerary guides kicks off in Donegal.

This was by far the hardest one to map out for public transport, and as a result, the itineraries vary a lot.

As always, we’ve split the different itineraries up into sections for those of you with a car and for those without.

An overview of the route from Donegal

The route from Donegal for those of you driving is a peach. You’ll see parts of the county that rarely make it into tourist guidebooks and you’ll see many of Donegal’s historic sites.

You’ll then move into Sligo before heading to Mayo, Galway and beyond. For those of you using public transport, the route is  very  different due to Donegal’s poor public transport.

If you follow our route from Donegal, you’ll:

• Explore some of the best things to do in Donegal
• Soak up some of Sligo’s finest views
• See the Connemara coast

FAQs about exploring Ireland in 2 weeks

We’ve had a lot of questions over the years asking about everything from ‘Is 2 weeks in Ireland enough?’ to ‘What route should I follow?’.

In the section below, we’ve popped in the most FAQs that we’ve received. If you have a question that we haven’t tackled, ask away in the comments section below.

Is 2 weeks in Ireland too long?

No. If anything, it’s no where near enough. Although Ireland is small in comparison to the likes of the US, there’s endless things to see and do scattered right the way across the island. 2 weeks will only scratch the surface.

What to do in Ireland for two weeks?

This will depend on whether you want a a busy or an easy 14 day Ireland itinerary. You could see a lot of Ireland in 2 weeks, but you’d be driving constantly. You’re best off following one of our itineraries in this guide.

Where to spend 2 weeks in Ireland?

Again, this depends on you and what you want to see and do. If you follow our route from Dublin, Belfast or Shannon in this guide, you won’t go wrong.

Hi, I love your website but it looks like the 14 day "good fitness with a car" trips from Dublin are the same for the fast trip and the slow trip. It looks like the correct itinerary for the fast trip is missing and the slow trip has been duplicated.

Keith O'Hara

Tuesday 9th of May 2023

Hi Rod - cheers for the kind words and I hope all is well! I've just checked this and compared the table of contents for both itineraries and I can see they're both different (e.g. 8 stops on the first day in the fast itinerary vs 6 for the slow one). Shout if I can help with anything. Cheers - Keith

• In-depth Cultural

Scenic Ireland

On a previous Globus tour I saw a little of Ireland and wanted to see more. On my fourth Globus Tour I saw and experienced the complete island of Ireland. The guide Peter and driver Gary give a great experience of the island. Seeing the Giant Causeway and picturesque Dingle Peninsula is breathtaking. Peter tells you about the history of every site, often adding his personal insight into the country of Irelend and Northern Island. Have fun making your own scones and eating them with jam too. Visiting the Waterford Crystal company and see the famous crystal being made. Visit ancient castles and a chance to kiss the Blarney Stone. Globus continues to provide excellent and comfortable hotels, all located close to shopping and other sites. Excursions include visits to a pub and a folk theater. There are too many photographic opportunities to count that you will give you memories to keep. This is a must tour for those who want to see Ireland and even may be part of their family history too.

Wild Grande - Multi Day - Small Group Tour of Ireland

Very friendly guide who made sure everybody had a great time. We were given enough time at each location we stopped at. Ireland is a beautiful place even if it rains and is well worth seeing.

13 Day Full Irish Experience - Small Group Tour

13 day Full Irish Experience I highly recommend this tour! If you’re looking for an authentic feel of Ireland and all this beautiful country has to offer, this is the tour for you. This tour has a perfect balance of a well planned itinerary to experience the history, culture and beauty of Ireland, yet plenty of free time to explore on your own or book activities with the many options available. Sean was very entertaining while sharing his vast knowledge about history, culture and legends. He had loads of great stories and music. I valued all his recommendations for restaurants, music venues and activities. Sean went out of his way for us and was the perfect guide!

• €99 deposit on some dates Some departure dates offer you the chance to book this tour with a lower deposit.

Bike Tour - The Wild Atlantic Way

All was perfect except either directions need to be more detailed or better yet we all need preloaded Garmins. Too much time was wasted on finding lost bikers.

The Emerald Isle

• €150 deposit on some dates Some departure dates offer you the chance to book this tour with a lower deposit.

Experience Ireland Through Local Eyes

Ireland is such a beautiful country! We visited many cities all around Ireland and each one had something unique to see. I loved the nature and the views so much! This is one of the best places to walk in nature or go on different hikes! At the end of the day, many pubs welcome you with beers and ciders, you won’t see that everywhere i guarantee!

Country Roads of Ireland (Classic, Summer, End Dublin, 12 Days)

Tour Director & Driver were fantastic! They were very aware of the needs and expectations of their tour group and did their best to meet our needs. There was a bit too much pressure to book optional experiences, but it seems that is a requirement of her position and not her choice. Michelle was so well organized, we were well aware of every next step, every bathroom, and expectation. The trip was exceptionally smooth and efficient, all due to her! Ultimately, I couldn't have asked for better a on-road team! I felt safe and knew I was getting the most out of my insight itinerary! The local guides were hit or miss. Ronan in Derry/Londonderry was fantastic and most certainly the best guide! I wish the other guides had his personality and natural public speaking skills. I enjoyed all the hotels and found them to be 4 stars or better. I was disappointed that vegetarian options weren't on the menu for most of the included and optional meals. The included meals were very repetitive (to the point where desserts at 2 different hotels were identical) and lackluster. I would have preferred to spend that money on my own dinner elsewhere. The walking tours could have been fantastic, but they were abbreviated due to the physical limitations/age of our group. I was really disappointed in this, I wish an extended tour option would have been available as it was clear things were missed by not getting a full walking tour. The optional Castle Tour “When your home is a Castle” was really disappointing. It was sold to us as if we'd learn behind the scenes information, gossip from those that have visited the home, etc. But that never happened. We just got a boring history of the family that owned the castle and described the 3 rooms we were permitted to view. The Falconry optional was amazing and the included Jaunting Car Ride was fantastic - those in our group that went on the "hike" were disappointed because it was just a light walk. The optional art tour in Belfast was good, but I think a black cab art tour would have been better - if I were to repeat this tour, I'd skip the optional, and do the black cab and titanic museum on my own.

What people love about 2 week ireland tours.

Lots of laughs, the most stunning scenery whether cliffs, fields, castles or abbeys, and great story-telling and accompanying soundtrack provided by Sean along the way. The B&B's were exactly as I had hoped with great beds and breakfasts! We were a small group of like-minded travellers from all over sharing a wonderful trip. My highlights were Clifden for music, Westport House and Kylemore Abbey, the Wild Atlantic Way, music in Dingle and Kilkenny, music on the bus, Dingle, Muckross House and thats just off the top of my head! Really it was a wonderful trip with an experienced driver who gave us what was promised, give or take a couple of weather-related disappointments which were not in his control. I had read in other reviews of the fact that there were more than one bus and questioning if it is a true small group tour. We had at times, three buses, we overlapped sometimes at sites but it was never an issue. We didn't stay together, we didn't eat together, we gave a wave when we saw them and at one stage swapped drivers when one had a flat tyre. By the end of the 13 days it was like running into friends. The B&B (and several hotel) accommodations were great. I didn't pay for or want five star, they were immaculately clean with warm hosts and great breakfasts, the beds and pillows excellent. Just book it, you wont regret it.

Complete 2 Days in Dublin Itinerary – 48 Hours in Dublin

D o you only have enough time to spend 2 days in Dublin? This itinerary will make sure you can discover the highlights of the most charming neighborhoods, picturesque streets and popular attractions.

As a first time visitor to Dublin, Ireland it can be overwhelming with all the things to do in only 48 hours. This itinerary will make it easy for you to get the most out of your visit to Ireland’s capital city.

Where should I stay in Dublin?

You will most likely be arriving to the Dublin Airport and you will want to book accomodations close to the city center. With only 2 days in Dublin you will have to make a trade off between hotel price and how much time you have to get between attractions.

We stayed both at the historic Harcourt Hotel , which is about 20 minutes walk south of most attractions and the Staycity Aparthotels, Dublin, City Centre which is closer to more attractions on the northern side of the city center. For us the 20 minute walk from Harcourt Hotel was not a big deal, but if you want to go back to the hotel in the middle of the day to relax or change the distance can be time prohibitive.

Do I need to rent a car in Dublin?

Renting a car in Dublin generally is not needed, with most of the attractions within walking distance. Even if one attraction is a bit further away, using public transportation or an Uber will save you time and stress throughout your visit without having to find the limited parking within Dublin’s city center.

Is the Go City Dublin Pass worth it?

A great way to save time and money on a two day trip to Dublin is with the Go City Dublin All-Inclusive Pass , which costs €99 for a 2-day pass. This includes entrances to most of the paid attractions in this itinerary. During our visit we go €110.5 worth of value from the Go City pass and still had some additional places we wished we could visit.

To see if the Go City Dublin pass is worth it for you, check out the included attractions and add together the value of having to buy the tickets separately. If that value is the same or greater than the cost of the Dublin Pass, it is definitely worth purchasing.

One thing we found is that purchasing the pass in advance incentivised us to actually complete our full itinerary each day, which can be substantial with only 2 days to explore Dublin. It is a lot better to go to bed tired for two nights than miss the best things to do in Dublin.

Taking a look at this two day Dublin itinerary here are the savings the Go City Dublin pass provided.

Day one in Dublin: Streets of Dublin and Culture

For the first day in Dublin, the time is more focused on getting to know the feeling and atmosphere that Dublin is so well known. It is about exploring the historic streets of the city center with enough extra time throughout the day to wander into an interesting pub or shop that you pass along the way.

Iveagh Gardens & Saint Stephen’s green

Start the morning off with a stroll through Iveagh Gardens & Saint Stephen’s green park. We visited Dublin in November so were met with the peak orange and yellow autumn foliage. Within the Iveagh Gardens there is a memorial dedicated to the peaceful defenders of human rights around the world which we highly recommend for a quick read. At Saint Stephen’s green make sure to walk around the lake to see locals feeding the swans.

Merrion Square Park

We then made our way over to Merrion Square Park, zig zagging our way through as many beautiful and peaceful neighborhood streets as we can, where you can see fascinating brick facades with the contrast of bright painted doors.

The Umbrellas Dublin

Weaving our way through the historic streets of Dublin, we make a quick detour to The Umbrellas Dublin, which are colorful umbrellas hanging across the road, for a romantic photo opportunity. The only downside is that its located in an ally between a few bars and a casino. It is worth visiting for a few minutes, but don’t go too far out of the way to get there if you are not nearby.

Trinity College

Trinity College is Ireland’s oldest university, founded in 1592. The most popular thing to do is take a guided tour of the Trinity College Library to see the Book of Kells. It is best to book a timed tour in advance as it can be several hours before the next available tour when booking on the spot. You can also just walk around the historic campus and enjoy the iconic buildings.

Temple Bar Pub

Walking through the iconic cobbled streets of the Temple Bar district, you want to be on the lookout for the world famous Temple Bar Pub. You have to step inside to experience the lively atmosphere, Irish music, and sip on possibly the most expensive pint of Guinness in Ireland.

Throughout this district there are endless pubs and bars to explore, making it a great place to come back in the evening for drinks after dinner.

Molly Malone statue

Then head over for a quick photo of the Molly Malone statue, in commemoration to the song “Cockles and Mussels” set in Dublin, which has become an unofficial anthem of the city. The statue represents a 17th century working class women overcoming all adversity.

Jameson Distillery Bow St.

Make your way to the other side of the river to the famous Jameson Distillery Bow St. for a guided tasting tour of Ireland’s most well known whiskey. The basic tour starts at €26 with more intensive tours up to a €140 paired tasting experience. Just have in mind the last tour starts at 5:30PM during the week and 6:45PM on the weekends.

Celtic Nights Dinner & Show

A great, but touristy way to have a crash course in traditional Irish food, Irish music, and Irish dance is at the Celtic Nights Dinner & Show . For €49 per adult it includes a three-course meal off a set menu, accompanied with live music and dancers throughout the evening. We felt like we could have a more authentic experience finding a show or music outside of a restaurant, but with only two days in Dublin, it is perfect to get a taste of all three.

Day two in Dublin: History, Whiskey, and Guinness

The second day of this itinerary is packed with much more of Dublin’s history with more tours and set attraction times. It is important to be mindful of the time today to make sure you can visit each attraction before it closes.

Dublin Castle

Start the day off at the Dublin Castle, which served as the seat of British rule in Ireland from 1204 until Ireland’s independence in 1922. It is still used to this day for some state ceremonies, with Ireland’s presidents being inaugurated in St Patrick’s Hall. Our favorite rooms in the castle are The throne room, The Battleaxe Staircase, the State Drawing Room, The Chapel Royal, and of course St. Patrick’s Hall. Self guided tickets are €8 per adult.

Three houses linked to ‘major player’ in Dublin drug trade derive from proceeds of crime, rules judge

A Dublin drug dealer has lost a legal battle with the Criminal Assets Bureau (Cab) which has secured orders declaring that three of the man’s properties derive from or are connected to crime proceeds.

Mr Justice Alexander Owens accepted the bureau’s contention as “reasonable”, and supported by “persuasive” evidence, that Cabra man David Waldron has been a “major player in the illegal distribution and sale of controlled drugs in Dublin since 2000 and that this activity has been the mainstay of his means, income and lifestyle”.

The judge said Garda intelligence is that David Waldron and his brother Christopher Waldron took a “leading role” in sourcing and supplying controlled drugs in the Cabra area after Eamon The Don Dunne was murdered in April 2010.

David Waldron and his wife, Charlene Waldron, enjoyed “lavish foreign travel” inconsistent with legitimate income up to his imprisonment in March 2015, said the judge. The lifestyle resumed when he was released from jail and they rarely used their bank accounts to defray ordinary daily living expenses, he said.

The judge said Ms Waldron “cannot but have been aware of the source of her means and of her husband’s means to engage in these activities”.

The Cab has separately seized the Dublin home of Christopher Waldron and is due to auction it next Friday. The bureau took possession of the house and some expensive watches from Christopher Waldron, of Killala Road, Cabra, after successfully arguing in the High Court that he bought them through the sale of drugs in Cabra and Finglas.

In a ruling on Wednesday, the judge said the bureau alleged David Waldron has been “heavily involved” in the illegal supply and sale of controlled drugs since 2000 and that drug dealing has been his main income.

The Cab, represented by Gráinne O’Neill, persuaded him that the wherewithal for purchasing and discharging mortgage payments on properties in Finglas and Leixlip, Co Kildare, came from crime proceeds and not from legitimate earnings, savings or loans from friends. The Finglas property was sold.

A further house in Cabra, Dublin 7, was bought for €330,000 and extensively refurbished using crime proceeds, the judge found.

The couple now live in a large detached house at Darview Heights near Gorey in Co Wexford. The judge said the mansion was built in 2015 and 2016 while David Waldron was in prison. The source of building and fit-out funds “remains unexplained and is most likely to have originated in proceeds of crime”, he held.

The judge made orders under section 3(1) of the 1996 Proceeds of Crime Act regarding the Gorey, Leixlip and Cabra properties, which remained in the Waldrons’ possession, declaring them direct or indirect crime proceeds. The couple had contested the bureau’s case, which was initiated in July 2019.

The judge said evidence provided by the Waldrons is not sufficient to displace his provisional conclusion on the evidence from the bureau about the three properties still in their possession.

The Cab’s evidence related to David Waldron’s criminality and the absence of any plausible non-criminal explanation for the resources used to acquire and develop the houses and to finance mortgage payments, he said.

The judge said David Waldron has numerous criminal associates, including his brother Christopher and another individual identified only as JF. He has been sentenced twice to imprisonment, first in 2000 for possession of controlled drugs for sale or supply and second, in March 2015, for violent disorder related to a planned attack in a pub in Cabra on a man who had accused him of shooting a cousin in a different pub, added the judge.
