Our travel tips for Ireland
“A stay in an Irish castle hotel is an unforgettable experience. However, as these special accommodation options are quickly booked out, especially in summer and at weekends, you should book in good time to experience true Irish castle flair during your trip.”

“There are few better places to experience Irish culture up close than the local pubs. With live music, typical snacks and Guinness, you can mingle with the locals and get a feel for the country and its people.”

“As prices for accommodation in Ireland rise significantly, especially during the summer months, it is worth traveling in early June or late September. During this time, the weather is ideal for exploring cities and the surrounding area and you still benefit from lower prices.”

Finally, pack appropriately for Ireland's weather and embrace the local culture!More...
Practical information for your trip
Ireland is at its warmest from May to September, which is why these months are also considered the best time to visit. If you have no problem with fewer hours of sunshine (but still mild temperatures), you can also visit Ireland outside the high season in the fall. In addition, the autumn foliage then provides a very special colorful accent.
The cost of a one-week vacation in Ireland typically starts around $1,850 per person, excluding flights. This estimate includes accommodations in comfortable 4-star hotels, meals at well-rated restaurants or local pubs, participation in popular activities, and the rental of a small car.
You should plan for a daily budget of at least $265 per person to enjoy a well-rounded experience.
