My trip to Ireland !

Here is my plan for a trip to Ireland if I had 2000 euros to spend !

I would choose to go to Ireland because that would save lots of money in flight tickets. Anyway why would I go far away when I am not even done with visiting Europe. Moreover I have some friends who went there on road trips and told me how beautiful the landscapes are and how friendly and interesting the people are. I would also not have terrible jetlag and would be able to visit and party right away !


I would go in April during the semester break when, I hope, it is a little bit warmer. First I would take a flight from Graz to Dublin. Either some people from Graz would be going with me or some friends from France would join me directly in Ireland. There I would book a cheap hostel for three nights and spend four days in the capital. I would go on Sandemans' free tour of the city (http://www.newdublintours.com/daily-tours/new-dublin-free-tour.html) to get a good overview. At night they also organize pub crawl, that would be a good way to get familiar with the good Irish beer. According to the tourism websites, I should go to the The Old Jameson Distillery and visit the National Museum of Ireland among lots of other things. There is also a very cheap 6 hour tour in Howth which sounds amazing. If my friends and I don't know where to go out anymore or what do visit, I will just ask for tips from the people working at the reception of the hostel and get inspiration from the numerous leaflets at the entrance. I would just go to the best places and eat typical foods.

I would spend the rest of my journey backpacking in the beautiful hinterland and on the coast. Along the way I could stop either in sprawling cities or in remote part of the mountains. I would be sometimes sleeping in small remote country inn or just pitch a tent ! I would go to the Wicklow Mountains. Indeed I found a useful website with a very precise path through those mountains and along the coast. All details needed are to be found on the website.(http://walkinghikingireland.com/walking-holidays/self-guided-walking-tours/?gclid=CPPK2J2g6LsCFaXItAodp3EAbA). 

That would be the perfect holidays for me : tourism, party and hiking with friends !
