Here are some tips on choosing the right rental vehicle for your trip:
Driving is the best way to explore Ireland. While major highways are excellently maintained the lanes can be narrow, windy and bumpy. On the smaller routes you can see some of the most beautiful parts of this pleasant green land!
Traffic is generally not congested, though you may find build-ups of congestion in Dublin city center during rush hours. Look out for nearby signs when parking to inform you of any restriction. For example, double yellow lines means no parking, while single lines are restricted to specific times.

Top 4 Architectural Sights
Older than the Rock of Cashel, the Pyramids and Stonehenge, Newgrange is a prehistoric monument in County Meath. Set in stunning countryside, you can visit via a guided tour from the visitor center which is also the ideal place to park. When in Dublin make sure to stroll down Henrietta Street for a chance to check out the earliest and best of Dublin's Georgian design. Kilmainham Gaol is one of the most interesting architectural sights to visit. The museum covers a turbulent period in Irish history while the building itself has extraordinary panopticon prison architecture from its remodel in the 1850s. Ireland is renowned for its huge number of Norman Castles but the Rock of Cashel predates this! The round tower dates back to c.1100, and the whole complex is home to one of the most remarkable Celtic and medieval art collections in Europe.
Top 4 Natural Sights:
The Cliffs of Moher are one of Ireland's most popular tourist destinations for their scale and beauty. Staggeringly steep cliffs that drop from the pleasant green countryside tower above the Atlantic ocean and offer some of the best views on the island. Glenveagh National Park is around 170 square kilometers of rolling hillside standing above Glenveagh Castle (also worth a visit for its architecture and gardens). Cooley Penninsula has all you need for a great day trip with the Cooley Mountains, ancient monuments and Carlingford are all here to explore. The Burren, meaning 'Great Rock', is another geological marvel. The karst hills of The Burren are covered in crisscrossing cracks creating a unique landscape of limestone paving slabs.
Head to the Emerald Isle in the winter to experience the enchanting country dusted with snow. In Dublin and other cities, you can visit a cozy pub for a meal or a pint. Outside of the cities there are many natural wonders and mountains to see. In the mountainous northwest of Ireland, you can find Mount Errigal rising up covered in snow. It is worth a visit for the scenery and a hike. The geolithic park Caven Burren is worth a visit for a hike to see the interesting landscape. Or go to the 47-acre Enniskerry estate with the Powerscourt House and Gardens south of Dublin. Head to Galway on the west coast and then head to the Aran Islands off the coast to see breathtaking scenery. If heading to the mountains, think about renting an SUV with winter tires in case of bad weather.
