Things to See & Do

You’ll be spoiled for choice for things to do when you holiday in Ireland. Breathtaking scenery and landscapes await outdoor enthusiasts. The only question is whether you’ll be whale and dolphin watching, hiking, biking, surfing or merely relaxing and taking in the magnificent views. For those on a cultural buzz, your challenge will be to choose from events on both by day and by night.

Will it be an opera or traditional music festival, an outing to the theatre, or a browse around a food fair? As for the history and heritage buffs, you’ll be bowled over by the treasures on offer. Whatever you choose to see or do, you’re in for a treat.

Welcome teachers & Transition Year students!

We can imagine how difficult it must be to plan excursions that tick all the boxes for both teachers and students. To help you with this Fáilte Ireland, in association with the Department of Education & Science, has put together a new brochure full to the brim with suggestions for educational tours and excursions within Ireland specifically with TY students and their teachers in mind.

The brochure features sample tours with specialist tour operators and also day and residential options at some of Ireland’s leading adventure and activity centres. You will also find information about the many visitor attractions that may be of historical or cultural interest, some of which offer free admission to student groups.
