Traveling overseas can be extremely costly, especially if you want to enjoy all you can of the culture of other countries. This is also true of Ireland, but you can find many things to do that cost little to nothing at all. Find Ireland vacations and include some of these budget-friendly adventures into your visit.

Climb the Cliffs

Ireland offers Achill Head, Croaghaun, and Slievemore, which provide visitors with exercise and the reward of a beautiful view. They are part of the Slieve League and are the highest sea cliffs in Europe.
Hill of Tara

The Hill of Tara is one of the most important places in Ireland because it is where the High Kings once sat. It is free to visit and offers a great view. One can study both the history of Ireland and mythological history at this location. There is also an audio-visual display at the visitor center to assist with the history.

Glendalough

Driving to Glendalough is worth the challenge. It can allow you a chance to relax and visit what may be the most important Christian sites in Ireland. It is important that before visiting Glendalough you study the history of the site.

St. Stephen’s Green

Ireland’s Victorian park, St. Stephen’s Green, is the best public park to visit and relax in. The park was opened to the public in 1880 by William Sheppard and is quite large. It is a centerpiece of Dublin with Merrion Square and Fitzwilliam Square located nearby.

Guinness Storehouse

Guinness is a very popular brand of beer with its storehouse located in Dublin, Ireland. It is one of the biggest tourist attractions. While you visit the storehouse, you should stop in at the Gravity Bar on the top floor where you will be able to see most of Dublin while drinking a pint of beer.

National Leprechaun Museum

Ireland is famous for the Irish heritage and ties to leprechaun folklore. The National Leprechaun Museum is one of the most popular tourist destinations. While the museum is not free, it is budget friendly. It is also fun and quirky. You can quickly learn about the history of Irish folklore and look for rainbows and pots of gold.

Just because you are traveling overseas does not mean you have to figure in spending thousands once you arrive. Ireland is one of the many European countries that offer visitors many things to do that work with any budget. Ireland is rich with both Christian history and mythological history. The landscape is serene and one can have a great vacation simply soaking up the country’s beauty and drinking fresh beer. There are dozens of parks and cliffs to visit for free. However, the items that have minimal prices attached to them are worth every penny paid.

It is important that you allow enough time really to enjoy what Ireland has to offer. It may not be a huge country, but what it does offer can take hours of your time learning and absorbing.
