6 Day Itinerary Galway/Dublin

Hi all! We’re planning a trip to Ireland in the summer :) and currently debating how to split up the trip. We’re between 4 days in Galway and 2 in Dublin or 3 each. Sample itinerary below based on 4/2 split.

Day 1:
-Arrive at Dublin airport, bus to Galway
-Check in at hotel
-Chill day exploring the city area

Day 2:
-Bus tour to Connemara and Kylemore Abbey (full day)

Day 3:
-Bus to Connemara National Park for some hiking and views

Day 4:
-Bus tour Cliffs of Moher and Burren
-Train to Dublin for the night

Day 5:
-Explore Dublin
-train to Howth

Day 6:
-Bus tour to Glendalough and Wicklow Mountains (full day)

We don’t drive, unfortunately, so no car :( I understand Connemara National Park and Kylemore Abbey are in the same area, but it feels like a lot to do them in the same day. Advice on that greatly appreciated. We’ll be skipping the Aran Islands bc we’re all violently seasick 😅 Please let us know what you guys think! Thank you ☺️
