Recommended Routes and Attractions
Here are some of the most scenic and exciting driving routes and attractions in South Ireland:
- Cork: Starting off in the city of Cork, check out the English Market, St. Finn Barre's Cathedral, and the Cork Opera House. Don't forget to try a Murphy's Irish Stout!
- Ring of Kerry: One of Ireland's most popular tourist trails, with amazing views of the Atlantic Ocean, mountains, and lakes. Unique experiences include a visit to Skellig Michael, an ancient monastic settlement on a rocky island off the coast.
- Blarney: Visit the 600-year-old Blarney Castle and kiss the Blarney Stone for the "gift of the gab".
Car Class Recommendations
If you're unsure of which car to rent, here's our advice:
- Couples and solo travellers: A compact car is perfect for solo travellers or couples. With a smaller vehicle, you'll find manoeuvring through narrow city streets and hilly country lanes a breeze.
- Families: For families or larger groups, a van or an SUV is an excellent choice. These spacious vehicles provide plenty of room for passengers and luggage.
Seasonal Events
Time your visit with these wonderful events:
- St. Patrick's Day: It doesn't get more Irish than this! Celebrated in March, expect grand parades, great music, and lots of fun.
- Cork Jazz Festival: One of the biggest jazz events in Europe, held every October. A must-visit for all music lovers.
So, that's a start to your journey through South Ireland. With a rental car, the charming rural landscapes, iconic tourist trails, and city gems of South Ireland are waiting for you to discover. Safe travels!
