What to do in Ireland in Winter, Spring and Fall

The possibilities for things to do are limitless on Ireland vacations. While the country seems small, you'll learn that each turn of the road uncovers a stunning landscape or historic ruin to explore. Discovering myriad Celtic ruins and architecture, and countless castles and museums could take forever - especially as frequent stops in local pubs and shops are required for chatting with the locals, warming your spirits and engaging in Ireland's uniqueness.

Bundle up in an assortment of layers - from a waterproof jacket and heavy Irish sweater, to a bit of thermal underwear to chase away the chill - and head off into the countryside. You will find that many of the best known attractions are in the open: the brightly colored buildings, shores and cliffs, castles, cathedrals and pre-historic ruins are accessible throughout the year.
