Going to Dublin…add Dingle or someplace closer to Dublin?
My mother and I (60s and 20s) are planning a trip for late August (currently 20-26th) but flexible on dates/adding a day or two if absolutely necessary. Looking for a good balance of city and nature. And we are not driving.
My main questions are…
Is there a closer place to Dublin than Dingle that offers a similar experience? Or stick with Dingle?
And do you think we’ll have enough time to enjoy dingle? We are big on moseying so i don’t want to risk rushing.
Including rough sketch of things…
Day 1: Arrive in Dublin
Day 2-3:
Trinity college
Botanical gardens
Merrion square
Howth & Malahide
Day 4-6: Dingle (5 hrs)
Explore town, eat
Sea safari
Slea Head Tour Sciuird (4 hrs)
Beach day: Coumeenole or Inch
Day 6: back to Dublin
Day 7: relax/fly home
I’m willing to change any/everything. Let me know what you guys think and thanks for any suggestions.
