Ireland Road Trip Itinerary Dublin to Galway

You want to drive Ireland, but the map is a mess of coastal names, the rental car scares you a little, and every guide lists forty stops without telling you which ones actually matter.

This narrated companion gives you one opinionated seven-day route and tells it day by day, from Dublin through Kilkenny and Cork to the Ring of Kerry, the Dingle Peninsula, the Cliffs of Moher, the Burren, Galway and Connemara. You hear where to spend a full afternoon and where to keep driving, how to handle the left side and one-lane country roads with tractors coming the other way, which months and hours let you reach the big sights before the tour buses, and what B&Bs, pub dinners and fuel will realistically cost you.

By the last chapter you can retell the whole drive to the person coming with you and book the car knowing exactly why. Press play and start planning.
