Ireland, 8 Days · Tailor-made by car

Emerald Isle South-western Route II

Discover the south of Ireland

Ireland is one of those destinations that is a thrill for lovers of driving routes. It certainly doesn't lack for attractions. Get behind the wheel and explore this incredible land defined by its history and legends, deep-rooted traditions, delicious cuisine, megalithic monuments, charming villages and beautiful landscapes sprinkled with majestic castles such as Blarney Castle and the Rock of Cashel and forts including Charles Fort and James Fort, which seem peaceful but which, in the past, were the sites of legendary battles that defined the path of the country's history. The 'Emerald Isle South-western Route (II)' is an invitation to enjoy life's small pleasures. Our route will take in attractive locations like the lively and cosmopolitan Dublin, welcoming and fun-loving Cork, medieval and interesting Limerick and the food-famous Kinsale. There will also be beautiful getaways to intriguing places including Midleton, home of the Jameson Distillery, and the town of Cobh, where you can explore one of the world's largest natural harbours. Throughout the entire journey, you'll enjoy photogenic green meadows stretching towards the intense blue of the sea. Our route will take in gems of European tourism, including the compelling Ring of Kerry, one of the most picturesque and attractive tourist routes that can be done by car, and the Dingle Peninsula, one of the most magical spots in Ireland and named 'The most beautiful spot in the world' by the prestigious publication National Geographic. Get ready. Awaiting you are hundreds of kilometres of road running parallel to the sea between a series of emerald-green fields, cottages, national parks, quaint fishing villages, breathtaking viewpoints over the Atlantic, landscapes scattered with castles, abbeys and monasteries, beautiful beaches and mountains draped in mist. Let's go!

Important remarks

- Triple rooms in Europe are generally rooms with twin beds or a double, in which a folding bed is installed to accommodate the third person. Due to the inconvenience this causes, we advise against using this option as far the possible.

- The proposed excursions and tours for each day are purely suggestions, as you can tailor the trip to suit your times, tastes and needs.

- A credit card is considered a guarantee, so sometimes you will need one for check-in at hotels.

- Hotels usually have cots available. Otherwise, babies will have to share a bed with an adult.

- To pick up your rental car, you'll need a credit (not debit) card in the name of the person who made the booking, who must also be the named driver of the vehicle.

- This itinerary has been developed in collaboration with the Irish Tourist Office.
