This driving-tour itinerary across Ireland encompasses the best of both worlds: a bustling city with a lively and varied dining scene and tranquil, verdant landscapes in the West Country, where visions of ancient druids come to mind. In Dublin, plan on busy sightseeing days complemented by half-day excursions outside the city center. Then head west to connect to rural Ireland and enjoy falconry, hiking and the Aran Islands.
