Peak Tourist Season
The peak tourist season in Ireland is late June to August, when the weather is mild and comfortable. This means that the price of airfare and hotels will be higher, so if you are traveling on a budget, you might want to visit in the spring or fall instead.
Accommodations
In addition to hotels and bead and breakfasts, you may want to consider staying in an RV park (called a caravan park), campsite, manor house or even a castle.
Beaches
Ireland has thousands of miles of coastline, and many of these beaches are truly stunning. Look for beaches with a "Blue Flag" rating, which means that are clean, have environmentally protected water and are very safe.
Killarney National Park
Southwest of Killarney is the Killarney National Park, home to the highest mountains in Ireland as well as lakes and woodlands populated by native red deer.
Aran Islands
Perhaps best known abroad for the sweaters that bear their name, the Aran Islands are home to stunning cliffs, quiet beaches and archeological sites of interest.
