Is Ireland a good travel destination?
I first moved to Ireland in the late 2000’s and have been living here ever since, accounting now for over half my life. Despite the time gone, every year I’m continuously shocked at just how much this seemingly small island has to offer!
You’ll be surrounded by beautiful coastal scenery and landscapes all around. Visit distilleries, or historical monuments, participate in outdoor activities, whether by the mountains or by the water. Whichever direction you end up in, food and drinks are also always a plenty.
And if you find yourself here around March 17, don’t miss out on our biggest cultural holiday – St. Patrick’s Day, celebrating our patron saint.

When Best to visit Ireland
What kind of weather does Ireland have?
Irish climate and weather vary heavily throughout the months, days, and, at worst of times, even hours. Generally, the driest and sunniest months run between June and September, while November till March bring about colder and wetter conditions. Its mild temperate oceanic climate, caused by the Atlantic Ocean, means higher humidity and precipitation than average. Even on a sunny day, it is always a good idea to bring a rain jacket with you, because the weather can change drastically and fast. Avoid bringing umbrellas, however, as the winds can be quite gusty.
When is the best time to travel to Ireland?
Summer months tend to attract more tourists, and rightly so. I have always claimed that Ireland is one of the most stunning countries to visit when the sun is out. To try and catch that good weather and long daylight hours, you’re best to plan your visit in the summer months, during the driest conditions, with temperatures reaching up to the low twenties.
