Treasures of Ireland End Dublin

Put a little Irish spring in your step and stroll through the lyrical capital of Dublin – your springboard to an unforgettable jaunt through the treasures of Ireland. Join a Local Specialist this afternoon to explore the city's iconic sights. Walk the cobbled courtyard of Trinity College and visit the Book of Kells. Then, enjoy a friendly dinner to get to know your fellow travelers.

Departing Dublin this morning, journey to the peaceful monastic ruins at Glendalough which survived repeated Viking attacks over the centuries. Dive Into Culture, watching the master crafters of the House of Waterford Crystal as they create delicate works of art. Your final stop today is the 'rebel' city of Cork, where you'll have a free evening to enjoy a little Irish craic and soak up the lively atmosphere of this university city.

Embark on a scenic drive to Blarney Castle, where you have the opportunity to kiss its famous stone to acquire the 'gift of the gab'. Continue to Killarney and stop at the beautiful cafe in the gate lodge of Killarney National Park for a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience. Enjoy a traditional pony and trap ride on an Optional Experience through the beautiful Bourn-Vincent National Park. During this optional journey, your Local Specialist will share fascinating anecdotes about the area and Ireland. End the day with a Be My Guest experience at Muckross Traditional Farms discovering what Irish rural life was like in the 1930s.

Admire the wide skies, peaceful towns and coastal scenery of the Dingle Peninsula as you drive to dramatic Slea Head at the peninsula’s far end.
