Ireland Tour
March 1, 2025 - May 31, 2025
There’s a good chance you’ll start your Irish adventure in Dublin, home to Dublin Castle, Trinity College Dublin, the National Museum of Ireland, and the Guinness Storehouse. It’s a walkable city, so you’ll be able to explore most of it in just a day or two. For an extra dose of history and a drink, of course, make your way to The Brazen Head, the oldest pub in Dublin.
☘️ Read a book set at a college or where a character goes for a walk or where the author's initials can be found in DUBLIN.
The bohemian atmosphere and lively arts scene are two reasons you’ll want to visit the harbor city during your journey. Unlike Dublin, where you may feel the need to see as much as possible, Galway is a bit more low-key. Travelers can stroll through cobblestone streets, savor traditional music in local pubs, and experience the enchanting landscapes of Connemara that surround this charismatic city.
☘️ Read a book set in a coastal town or tagged as music or where the first letter of each title word can be found in GALWAY. ( Two word minimum).
