Irish Road Trip Recommendations

Hello! My wife and I are taking a last minute trip to Ireland leaving… tomorrow. I know there are infinite recommendations of this type, but I thought I’d see if I can get some more personally catered recommendations.

We will only have 6 full days in Ireland and are planning on renting a car. I’m hoping to get some help building an itinerary, and specific recommendations within areas we will be staying. We’d also love to meet up for a beer or something if anyone wants to.

Our very rough plan is to spend a couple days in Dublin, a couple days in Galway, and maybe a day in Limerick to visit a friend.

About us: We are from Colorado in the US, in our early 30s. First time in Ireland. We love to eat, especially hole in the wall kind of stuff. We love to drink, love pubs, love beer, love whiskey. We love live music and festivals of course as well. We hike a lot, love beaches and outdoors stuff in general. We like to learn about history, but don’t tend to do too too many museums unless they’re great.

Recommend some adventures we can have while in Ireland! Thanks!
