Must-See Sights on Your Route

Transform your 218 km cross-country journey into a scenic day trip by adding a few of these popular stops:

1. Adare

On some routes between Killarney and Galway, it’s possible to incorporate a stop in Adare, often described as one of Ireland’s prettiest villages.

Adare offers a gentle contrast to the wild coastal scenery, giving you a taste of traditional Irish village life.

2. Bunratty Castle & Folk Park

Bunratty Castle & Folk Park is a favourite stop for travellers heading towards Galway.

With a private chauffeur, you can decide whether to do a full visit or a shorter stop, depending on your interests and timing.

3. The Cliffs of Moher

A private chauffeur can time your arrival to avoid the busiest periods where possible and ensure you have adequate time to explore the main viewpoints before continuing north towards Galway.

4. The Burren
