In Dublin, check out the Guinness Storehouse, Phoenix Park, Trinity College (including the book of Kells), the Jameson Distillery and go to the Temple Bar area for pubs with traditional Irish music.
The west coast of the country is also beautiful. The Cliffs of Moher are amazing as somebody mentioned and the city of Galway is worth a visit also. Further down south, you can go to some good places in Cork, Waterford, Kilkenny and Kerry.

Rachel
The market in Cork is pretty cool. Dingle is an adventure. Cobh near cork is a great little seaside town. Galway is fun for live music. The Aran islands are pretty amazing.
Wendy
Great info.. thanks!
Lisa
Newgrange and Knowth are amazing.

My boyfriend and I road tripped from Dublin to Galway along the southern coast, Slea Head drive in Dingle was our favourite! It takes a couple hours to drive the windy roads but the views are breathtaking the whole way with early architecture along the way to explore.
Wendy
Sounds like exactly what I'm after. I did rent a car to catch some amazing scenery.. thank you
Wendy
How was the driving? I rented a car for 10 days lol.. little stressed
Amy
It was fine! My boyfriend says he was comfortable with driving on the opposite side after a day. The only part that was a little tricky was getting out of Dublin. The highways and country roads are all pretty straight forward
Do you have someone in the car helping you navigate?
Wendy
Us my daughter is a gd of pilot .. thank God lol. Yeah I'm looking forward to the country driving. Not so much the city.. but you only live once right lol
Amy
You'll have a great time! If you have a Canadian credit card you should already have insurance for renting a car in Ireland. That's what we were told but we didn't think to request proof from the credit card company before we got there. We ended up paying a few hundred euros additional to get insurance again tnere
so definitely make some calls before hand!
Wendy
Oh we took care of the insurance already but thanks!
Nicki
Giant's Causeway
Mary
My sister & I did a 3 week driving trip of Ireland & Northern Ireland the end of May. You will have an amazing trip, Ireland is absolutely beautiful! If you have time check out Keem Bay & Achill Island.
Wendy
Hearing everyone's experiences has me totally excited.. thanks
