Jimmy on A Week in Ireland: Galway, Cork & Dublin

From the Irish people’s sparkling wit and inviting pub culture to the isle’s incredible emerald landscapes, this small country packs quite a punch. For Jimmy, the scenery took center stage when the group traveled outside the must-visit cities of Dublin and Galway and into the majestic countryside.

From the Irish people’s sparkling wit and inviting pub culture to the isle’s incredible emerald landscapes, this small country packs quite a punch. For Jimmy, Ireland's scenery took center stage when the group traveled outside the must-visit cities of Dublin and Galway and into the majestic countryside.


Blarney: Beyond the castle

Blarney Castle

“I really enjoyed Blarney, where the famous Blarney Castle is located. It barely counts as a town really, but it has everything you can ask for: a great medieval castle, stunning views of the beautiful surrounding countryside and three pubs! I especially enjoyed walking on the castle grounds and being able to stroll back to the hotel that was located just five minutes from there.”


A closer look at Glendalough

Instead of a free day in Dublin, Jimmy joined some of the travelers on the optional excursion to Glendalough in County Wicklow. Its mountainous countryside—complete with a medieval tower and 13th-century church—turned out to be one of Jimmy’s favorite settings on tour.

Glendalough, Ireland

“The landscape around Glendalough is a beautiful summary of the various elements that make up the quintessential Irish landscape: a lake (lough), hills, a really dramatic location and interesting ancient ruins.“
