Planning Tips
📆 Best Time To Visit
The best time to visit Dublin and the Cliffs of Moher is during late spring (May-June) or early fall (September) when you'll find mild temperatures and fewer tourists. Summer brings longer daylight hours but peak crowds, while winter offers atmospheric charm but can be quite wet and windy.
💰 Average Daily Budget
A couple can expect to spend around €180-220/day (2025), including mid-range hotel accommodation, meals, public transportation, and attraction entries. Dublin tends to be more expensive than other areas, while day trips add additional costs.
🍽️ Must-Try Foods
Sample traditional Irish dishes like hearty Irish stew, boxty (potato pancakes), and fresh seafood chowder. Don't miss a full Irish breakfast, Dublin coddle (sausage and potato hot pot), and fresh-baked soda bread. Try local cheese and smoked salmon from artisanal producers.
🍻 Local Drinks
Ireland is famous for its pub culture - try a perfectly poured Guinness, local craft beers, and Irish whiskeys. Visit traditional pubs for Irish coffee and local spirits. Many pubs offer live traditional music sessions, enhancing the authentic experience.
📸 Must-See Views
In Dublin, explore Trinity College and the Book of Kells, visit the Guinness Storehouse, and wander through historic Dublin Castle. At the Cliffs of Moher, take in the dramatic 700-foot cliffs, visit the interactive visitor center, and walk along the cliff-edge trails for breathtaking Atlantic views.
