Rating every place I went in Ireland
Adare 9.5/10
Incredibly charming, thatched cottages, shopping, Adare Manor, cute cafes. Perfect first taste of Ireland. Small enough that a few hours probably does it, though.
Killary/Connemara 10/10
Peak Ireland. Mountains, water, sheep and those scenic drives. Highlight was Killary Sheep Farm and Kylemore Abbey. Def one of the experiences that made the trip the trip.
Cong/Ashford Castle 10/10
If you want a fairytale, this is the place. Lake cruise, castle, long garden walks, that live piano and tiny Cong Village. I visit this place in my dreams.
Galway 1000000/10
There's a reason it was voted one of the most romantic cities, so much to do and experience. I left my hear here and want to move here so badly. Best food and coffee in Ireland IMO
Carrick 90/10
So underrated, home of the most beautiful and massive cliffs. The coastal areas are gorgeous, some of the most dramatic scenery of the trip
Donegal 10/10
The downtown was one of my favourite and the people know how to party. Best place to shop, Donegal Tweed is world class;
Castlegregory 9/10
This one wins on peacefulness. Brandon Beach, quiet B&B, gorgeous peninsula scenery. Way less to do, but that's also why you'd stay there.
Dingle 100/10
One of the best stops. Gorgeous scenery, Slea Head, great food, bakeries, shops, beaches, pubs, and that tiny colorful Irish-town feeling. The peninsula had me in utter awe
Killarney 1000/10
Great town AND spectacular surroundings. National Park, lakes, Ring of Kerry access, good hotels, pubs, restaurants, shopping. Extremely well-rounded and some parts are so Harry Potter-coded.
Portmagee 10/10
Another underrated gem that has so much to offer. Home of The Kerry Cliffs (my favourite cliffs).
Skellig Michael 9000/10
If you want to learn about the history and resilience of the Irish people, this is the best place to go. I was in tears when I saw the huts and the views from the top. Life changing, a must-have bucket list item
Dublin 7/10
Great history, museums, bookstores, food, pubs, shopping and culture but I hated the lines everywhere I went. Dublin just wasn't the part of Ireland I fell the hardest for. It's lovely, but I just loved everywhere else more.
