"Well, on behalf of the Northern Ireland Tourist Board I would say there’s more than enough to see and do in Northern Ireland in 5/6 days
Belfast is one of the Lonely Planet’s top destinations in 2018 - Titanic Belfast is the world’s most visited tourist exhibition. Giant’s Causeway of course and the Antrim Coast Road. Game of Thrones was filmed in NI and there’re a lot of tours and places to visit associated with it. Google discover northern Ireland for lots more ideas."

"Not sure how much time they have in the south but if they have afew days the should try & visit the west coast of IRE, Galway, Clare, Kerry."
Cynthia

I really enjoyed Donegal. You should go.
Cynthia
How long did you stay for ?Any particular place that you would recommend staying ?I am also relying on public transit to get around !
Wendy
I was there for 3 days, as I traveled all over Ireland. I had a car though which made the trip much easier - I can not speak for the public transportation system there. If you go, check out Donegal castle. I like traveling the beaches and going to Bundoran (surfing), as well as checking out Slieve League Cliffs. Have a brilliant time.

Donegal is my favourite county, north or south. It's not easy to get around if you're reliant on public transport but it is possible. Without a car the easiest places to get to are Letterkenny and Donegal Town. I'd give Letterkenny a miss. There are day tours from Donegal Town out to Slieve League and Glencolmbkille, or to the park (name's escaping me at the moment). It is possible to get to Gweedore area or Dunfanaghy on public transport, but it takes a wee bit more planning and time.
Cynthia
Thanks so much for this...will pass on letterkenny and go straight to donegal from London Derry and take tours!

Both are beautiful so go where your heart desires.

The secondary road around the northeast of the island ( between Belfast and Cushendal) is beautiful - lovely little towns along the way

Exploring Northern Ireland and Donegal
When visiting Northern Ireland until the 9th, you have the perfect opportunity to explore both the North and Donegal in the Republic of Ireland. Both regions offer unique experiences and stunning landscapes that are definitely worth visiting.
If you have the time, I would highly recommend venturing into Donegal. Known for its rugged coastline, sandy beaches, and charming villages, Donegal offers a different perspective of Ireland. You can visit the stunning Slieve League cliffs, explore Glenveagh National Park, or simply enjoy the tranquility of the countryside.
However, if you prefer to stay in Northern Ireland, there is plenty to see and do as well. From the iconic Giant's Causeway to the vibrant city of Belfast, there are numerous attractions that will captivate you. You can also explore the beautiful countryside of County Antrim or visit the historic city of Derry.
As for your visit to Malahide on May 15th, it is a lovely coastal town in County Dublin with a beautiful castle and gardens. You can enjoy a leisurely walk along the coast, visit Malahide Castle, or simply relax in one of the charming cafes.
Ultimately, whether you decide to explore Donegal or stay in Northern Ireland, you are sure to have a memorable experience. Both regions offer a unique blend of history, culture, and natural beauty that will leave you wanting to come back for more.
Enjoy your travels!
