Travel to Ireland

Dublin – Ireland's capital with history, pubs and culture

Dublin is an obvious highlight on many trips to Ireland. The city is large enough to be experienced on foot, but at the same time filled with attractions, restaurants, pubs, museums and historical environments. Here, Georgian facades, modern neighborhoods and classic landmarks such as Trinity College, Dublin Castle, St Patrick's Cathedral and Grafton Street meet. For many, a trip to Dublin is also a journey into Ireland's drinking culture. The Guinness Storehouse, whiskey tastings and traditional pubs with live music give a sense of the city's soul. Our Dublin trips are suitable for both those who want to spend a weekend in Dublin and those who want to start or end a longer round trip with a few days in the Irish capital. If you are looking for tips on what to do in Dublin, there is plenty of variety: walk along the River Liffey, admire the Book of Kells, try Irish whiskey, shop in the city center or join a guided city tour that provides context for both history and the present.

Magnificent nature – from the Cliffs of Moher to the Ring of Kerry

Ireland is known as the Green Isle for a reason. The mild climate and proximity to the Atlantic Ocean create a landscape of rolling hills, grazing sheep, moors, lakes, cliffs and coastal roads. Among Ireland's attractions, the Cliffs of Moher are one of the most talked about, where the cliffs rise dramatically over the Atlantic and offer views that really make an impression. The Ring of Kerry is another classic for those who want to experience Ireland's nature at its most beautiful. Here you will find mountains, bays, small villages and views that change with the weather and light. In Connemara you will encounter wilder landscapes, while Killarney National Park offers lakes, forests and mountains that are ideal for both hiking and cycling. On our round trips, the days are planned so that you get to see a lot without having to arrange the logistics yourself. The journey between the places becomes part of the experience, with green views outside the bus window and stops at attractions, gardens, castles and viewpoints.

An Ireland trip is particularly well suited as a round trip, as the island accommodates so many contrasts in relatively short distances. You can experience medieval Kilkenny, historic Waterford, lively Galway, coastal Cork and Dublin during the same trip. Several of our programs also include visits to castles, monasteries, gardens and distilleries. Ireland's history is present everywhere - in castles, church ruins, city walls and the stories that the guides convey along the way. Kilkenny Castle, Malahide Castle, old monastic areas and historic port towns give the trip extra depth and ensure that the natural experiences are complemented by culture and context. For those who want to see even more, there are trips that combine Ireland with Northern Ireland, Scotland or England. Then you can experience Dublin, Belfast and Edinburgh on the same trip, or travel by bus and ferry through several parts of the British Isles.

Tastes of Ireland – whiskey, Guinness and local experiences

Food and drink are an important part of traveling to Ireland. Here you will find classic pub meals, freshly baked scones, smoked salmon, hearty stews and of course the iconic Irish Coffee. On several of our trips you will get to taste local specialties and learn more about the traditions behind them. Whiskey has a long history in Ireland, and our whiskey tours and tasting tours take you to distilleries and tastings where you will discover the differences between different styles. Dublin, Kilbeggan, Kilkenny and other places can offer everything from classic tastings to combinations with chocolate, beer or castle environments. Beer also has its own place in Irish culture. A visit to the Guinness Storehouse or a traditional pub night is not only a drinking experience, but also a way to understand the social atmosphere that makes Ireland so popular with travelers.

Active travel – hiking Ireland, cycling and golfing

For those who want to experience the landscape up close, Ireland is a fantastic destination. Hiking in Ireland means encountering green moors, coastal paths, national parks and islands where nature feels both close and powerful. Our hiking trips can take you to varied environments in both the east and west, with trails that offer views, fresh air and much-needed group fellowship. Cycling trips in Ireland are another popular way to travel. The Waterford Greenway is a well-known cycle route that runs through beautiful landscapes, while Killarney National Park offers lakes, forests and mountains in an environment that is hard not to like. Cycling is often combined with cultural elements and time in Dublin. Golf in Ireland is also something very special. The country has hundreds of courses, many with scenic locations. Our golf trips combine playing on fine courses with comfortable accommodation, good food and Irish experiences such as distillery visits and excursions.

Good to know before your trip to Ireland from Sweden

It is easy to travel to Ireland from Sweden, often by flying to Dublin as the easiest way into the country. Depending on the departure city and travel route, flights to Ireland can be direct or with a stopover. When you travel with us, the arrangement is planned in advance, which allows you to focus on the experiences rather than practical details. Ireland's currency is the euro in the Republic of Ireland. If you are also traveling to Northern Ireland, British pounds are used, which is good to know on combination trips. Card payment works in most places, but it can be practical to have some cash for smaller purchases. Electrical outlets in Ireland are of type G, the same as in the UK, so an adapter is needed for Swedish plugs. Weather in Ireland can change quickly, so comfortable shoes, a rain jacket and clothes in layers are recommended. It is precisely the combination of changing light, green landscapes and fresh Atlantic air that makes Ireland so charming all year round.
