The Best Time to Travel Ireland

Updated: August 27, 2020 | By | More

Every country in the world has a season which is popular for tourists to travel; this could be due to weather, special events or other special times of the year. I have a soft spot for Ireland and it has become one of my favourite countries to travel in the last ten years. I did find that there are specific times of the year that it is definitely more fun and worth your while. Although, I always say that each person is different and prefers different things about travelling, so some may like the other months I will mention.

It doesn’t actually matter what time of the year it is, as Ireland has very unpredictable weather. It may storm after a warm summer morning or it may have hurricane weather after a glorious sunny morning. This is actually what I love most about Ireland, the unpredictable, every day is different kind of life.

Spring months

Spring is a wonderful time to be in Ireland, and it is during this month that the weather is most unpredictable, although, if it is raining it won’t last very long. This month is not the peak tourist month so accommodation and airfares are cheaper, and there are fewer people in the queues for big tourist attractions. The fields are colorful and bright, overall Ireland is at its most beautiful stage.

Summer Months

This is the busiest month of the year, there are loads of festivals and the weather tends to stay warm for the entire day (although not guaranteed). Unlike other countries, Ireland does not get blistering hot, so you can enjoy the summer and the travelling. The biggest bonus of summer is that the sun only sets after 10pm, so you have extra time to enjoy the outdoors.

Winter Months

This is by far the cheapest months to travel in as all hotels and tourist destinations loose plenty of customers in the cold and rain. Most tourists do not like the rain, but I love it! So, if you are on a budget this is the best time to go, and besides it will probably be sunny by 3pm. It will also be darker earlier which means you can start pub crawling earlier.

Autumn Months

This is the best chance to see the beautiful green lands turn all different colors and shades. So, if you like nature, exploring wild life and photography then this is the best month for you.
