How to travel Ireland on a Budget: Top Tips and Tricks for Affordable Adventure
Welcome to our guide on how to travel Ireland on a budget! If you're looking for an adventure-filled vacation that won't break the bank, Ireland is the perfect destination. With its rolling green hills, picturesque villages, and vibrant culture, Ireland offers a wealth of experiences that won't leave you penniless. In this video, we'll be sharing our top tips and tricks for exploring Ireland on a budget, from finding affordable accommodations to discovering hidden gems that won't cost a fortune.
Tip #1: Visit during the off-peak season
Ireland is a popular destination during the summer months, which means that prices for flights, accommodation, and attractions can be quite high. Consider traveling during the off-peak season, which typically runs from October to April. You'll find that prices for flights, accommodation, and attractions can be significantly lower during this time.
Tip #2: Book in advance
Booking in advance is key to saving money on your trip to Ireland. Many airlines and hotels offer discounted rates for early bookings, so be sure to take advantage of these deals. Additionally, if you plan on visiting popular attractions, such as the Cliffs of Moher or the Guinness Storehouse, purchasing tickets in advance can save you both time and money.
Tip #3: Stay in budget-friendly accommodations
There are many budget-friendly accommodation options in Ireland, from hostels and guesthouses to Airbnb rentals and camping sites. If you're looking to save even more, consider staying in a self-catered apartment or cottage, which allows you to cook your own meals and save money on dining out.
Tip #4: Use public transportation
Renting a car in Ireland can be quite expensive, especially if you're under 25 years old. Instead, consider using public transportation, such as buses or trains, to get around. This is not only a more affordable option but also allows you to sit back and enjoy the scenic views without having to worry about driving.
Tip #5: Discover hidden gems
While there are many popular tourist attractions in Ireland, there are also many hidden gems that won't cost you a fortune. For example, the Burren in County Clare offers stunning landscapes and is completely free to explore. Additionally, many museums and galleries offer free admission on certain days of the week, so be sure to do your research and plan accordingly.
Tip #6: Eat like a local
Ireland has a rich culinary scene, and trying local dishes is a must-do on your trip. However, eating out at restaurants can quickly add up. To save money, consider shopping at local markets and cooking your own meals. This allows you to try local ingredients and flavors while also saving money on dining out.
Tip #7: Take advantage of free activities
There are many free activities to enjoy in Ireland, from hiking and cycling to visiting museums and galleries. Additionally, many parks and gardens offer free admission, allowing you to explore the natural beauty of Ireland without spending a dime.
Tip #8: Choose your destinations wisely
While Ireland has many stunning destinations to explore, some are more expensive than others. For example, staying in Dublin can be quite costly, whereas visiting smaller towns and villages can be more affordable. Consider choosing destinations that offer both affordable accommodations and plenty of activities to enjoy.
Tip #9: Use travel rewards and credit card perks
If you have a travel rewards credit card, be sure to use it to earn points or miles that can be used towards future trips. Additionally, some credit cards offer perks such as free checked bags or airport lounge access, which can save you money on your trip to Ireland.

Four of the top activities are exploring the towns, taking boat rides, do a little nature walking, and take a driving tour of the region to see the other nearby lakes and quaint villages.
In Scotland, Edinburgh’s Old Town has retained many of its original buildings and the 18th century New Town is also well-preserved, both still functioning as a great examples of healthy urban neighborhoods.
Ireland is a small country blessed with the rich variety of wonderful sites, most famous for its green rolling hills, history, friendly people, and Guinness. Our three main destinations will be Dingle, Galway and of course Dublin, capital of the country, a great center of culture, learning and nightlife. We'll bring you inside prehistoric stone structures in Dingle. We'll take a trip out to the Aran Islands by ferry, a remote place with a great many archaeological sites, traditional culture and spectacular sea cliffs. We will be visiting small villages along the way: Clifden, Killarney then Kinsale, a southern town with colorful buildings and an ancient stone fort. Dublin is a wonderful city, but don't make the mistake when you're visiting Ireland of only going to Dublin – there's so much more to see.

30 Travel Tips for Ireland
Everyone hopes to have some Irish in them. Anyone who has traveled to Ireland simply can't deny the fact that the people there are some of the kindest in the world. On top of that, you'll find an immense amount of interesting history and endless beauty around every bend. After 10 incredible days in Ireland, I have put together my second travel film ( and some tips from my first visit. My wife and I explored Dublin, Galway, Dingle, Killarney National Park, and much in-between. We stayed in a castle, road horses, learned about falconry, stopped by the Guinness Storehouse, saw the Book of Kells at Trinity College, drove the Dingle Peninsula, and hiked the Cliffs of Moher and the Gap of Dunloe. Keep in mind these tips are based on my personal itinerary so be sure to add your own advice in the comments below. Happy trails!
P.S. I apologize for pronouncing Galway wrong. I would correct it, but YouTube does not allow changes. I'll keep learning from my mistakes. From now on I promise to say Gawl-way.

We travel with a Microsoft Surface everywhere we go. I edit my videos on it & use it to backup my pictures and vides while we travel. It’s light and the best travel laptop on the market in my opinion.
We use Sony Alpha series cameras to film our videos. They are compact so you don’t look like a super tourist when you take great pictures and videos while you travel.
We use Manfrotto Tripods. They are compact, travel well, and honestly I would not use another tripod for my nice cameras.
Travel Plug that works in pretty much any country & has four USB ports. A must for any traveler.
Want to grab some great gear? We have used Osprey Packs for years & swear by them. Check them out here
Need some clothing for your next adventure? Patagonia has some pretty good stuff for all kinds of travelers.
