Guide to Ireland – Travel and Music

December 5, 2017 by Jaime

Ireland is a place of scenic greenery, timeless literature, unique history, and cheerful music of Irish flutes and other instruments. Ireland is famous for its cultural contribution throughout centuries. It is one of those places in the world which you can visit at any time of the year. Still, if you prefer a sunnier weather and a clearer sky, you can consider visiting from May until November, when the weather is not too cold for roaming around and enjoy the most.

Travel allows you to grow emotionally in your life. And while many prefer visiting the most popular Irish cities and towns, there are also many others who prefer to embark on a road trip instead. There are multiple itineraries possible to see the beautiful country from a moving window. Based on the routes selected, it may take up to 10 days to have the satisfactory coverage. Of the many possible itineraries, a feasible one could start from Dublin to Newgrange /Bru Na Boinne and then to Mornington Beach. You can end the day at Dundalk, a county town between Dublin and Belfast. The town has some picturesque hotels with historical architecture to offer.

You can start off day two of your road trip from there to Belfast, moving toward Giant’s Causeway and then stopping over at the serene town of Donegal. From there, you can start the next day to Westport to Clifden and then all the way to Galway. The beauty of these places and the surprise presence of Kylemore Benedictine Abbey on your way will enchant you. Day five should start with visiting the Barren Coastal Drive and end with a ferry ride from Shannon to Killarney. On your way, you can enjoy the soulful tunes of Irish music with the songs of Sinead O’Connor, The Dubliners and what not! Just let the local radio take the lead on that.

The next day, you can move to the beautiful Dingle Peninsula and continue exploring the Ring of Kerry till Portmagee. You may also want to visit the Cliffs of Kerry before moving to Portmagee. From there, take a boat trip to enjoy the Skellig rocks to end the day at Cork. Make sure to check the time for the boats for the trip to Skeling rocks so that you do not miss yours. This is one of its kind experience and you must plan it ahead. You can stay over at Cork to enjoy a concert or just simply get back to Dublin to resume your trip to this city of Ancient culture of the world. Cork has a famous English market too, where you can enjoy a hearty Irish version of English breakfast which will satisfy all your cravings!

Ireland is a place of history and heritage with their unique taste in music, food, and attitude. While the Irish accent sounds cute in those foreign characters on TV, it might sound even thicker, quicker and more impossible to decipher when you are actually there. As a preparation, make sure you listen to some popular Irish music beforehand as well as watch some movies, shows or videos may be. A little preparation can save you from having any unpleasant experience especially with, Chill Insurance. They have you covered so you can enjoy your travels and have the opportunity to start a conversation with the locals! They were also kind enough to provide the awesome eBook below. #MusicalDrives
