Whatever your budget, though, the rolling green hills of [Killarney](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Killarney.d6346176.Holidays-City-Breaks) and tranquil shores of [Waterford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/County-Waterford.d6056851.Holidays-City-Breaks) are stunning places to explore.

## Ireland Holiday

West of Great Britain, Ireland is known for its abundant rain, rolling hills and rugged, meandering coastline. It’s here you can experience enchanting culture and folklore, music and welcoming locals.

### Ireland Hotel + Flights

While you’ll find 7,214 hotels here starting as low as £78 a night, if you bundle your hotel and flight bookings through Expedia, you’ll score better prices. Create a personalised Ireland Holiday Package and add extras to suit your needs, like car rental or activities. For example, if staying in Dublin, consider a day tour to Blarney Castle; you can book it when securing your hotel and flight package.

### Your Ireland Holiday Itinerary

- Day 1-2: Many people arrive via Dublin Airport. Once you’ve found your hotel and freshened up, make your way to some of Dublin’s most popular attractions, like Trinity College, St Patrick’s Cathedral and one of Ireland’s oldest pubs, the Brazen Head.
- Day 3-6: Next, book a zippy rental car to explore Ireland’s rugged Atlantic coastline, which includes the famous Cliffs of Moher. You can also get a ferry to the dramatic and desolate Aran Islands.
- Day 7-8: Finish your road trip in Cork, Ireland's second-largest city. On your way here stop in vibrant towns such as Galway and Limerick and explore the fascinating Burren National Park and stunning Ring of Kerry.

### Ireland Information

- Ireland’s National Day, better known as St Patrick’s Day, is celebrated March 17 each year. Numerous parades are held around the country, with the largest in Dublin.
- If you’re basing yourself in Ireland’s national capital, save yourself some cash with one of our [Dublin Holiday Packages](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin.d6051454.Holidays-City-Breaks).
