Now is the perfect time to start planning your springtime travels, and there is no better destination to visit during this season than Ireland. With its amazing natural wonders and breathtaking beauty, Ireland offers many reasons why springtime is the best time to visit. We’ll cover some of the reasons why this season is the best time to take a guided tour of Ireland.
Optimal Weather for Walking Tours
Walking tours offer a great opportunity to explore an unfamiliar area and gain a deeper understanding of its rich cultural and historical significance, and spring’s crisp temperatures offer optimal weather for walking outdoors. On our Magical Ireland tour, we’ll enjoy a walking tour of the picturesque port town of Derry, where we’ll stroll along well-preserved medieval walls and see the famous sites of Derry. Dublin is another walkable town where we’ll have opportunities to explore the charming Irish city on foot. Spend time exploring the city’s local parks, pubs, and other sights in the refreshing spring weather.
See Natural Wonders in Full Effect
With wintertime behind us, you can count on spring’s optimal weather for the best opportunities to see Ireland’s natural beauties, like the UNESCO World Heritage Site Giant’s Causeway. We’ll be able to enjoy this geological wonder and learn all about the site’s myths, legends, history, and geology on our guided tour. Visiting in spring will also allow you to see the lush greenery that covers the majestic Cliffs of Moher, as well as the cliffs, beaches, and picturesque dunes along the Dingle Peninsula.
The Best Setting for Ancient Architecture
There is no better time to view the captivating beauty of Irish architecture than during spring when the air is warming up and the ground is lush with new greenery. Experience the 5th-century architecture of Blarney Castle, see the famous Book of Kells at majestic Trinity College, made even better with the fresh spring flowers in bloom, or take an optional tour of the expansive mansion of Kylemore Abbey in Galway. There’s no shortage of amazing architecture to see during this season!
