Trinity College, Dublin
Founded in 1592, this is Ireland’s oldest university. Despite it being a place of study, this is a hugely popular tourist attraction in Ireland. This is because the building itself is stunning, preserving the original architecture, and the cobblestone paths bring even more character to the place.

Plus, the Long Room in the library hosts some of the oldest books and was the inspiration for the library in Harry Potter.

Another top free tourist attraction in Ireland, the National Botanical Gardens in Ireland oozes beauty and tranquillity. It actually hosts some fascinating nature and provides educational talks for those who are interested. However, it is also a gorgeous place just to go for a walk around.
The Ring of Kerry
If you’re a fan of road trips, then this one is for you. You can start anywhere, but popular starting sports are Killarney or Kenmare. The whole trip can take 3 hours non-stop, but you will want to make multiple stops to take in some of the breath-taking views of the Atlantic Ocean. If you’re into water sports, then there are great beaches along the way that offer these activities too.
