You can pack enough for a small village, map out your route before hitting the road and even make all your dinner reservations ahead of time — the one thing you can’t plan for on any Irish holiday, however, is the weather!

Tourist activities that will provide hours of entertainment come rain or shine can be hard to come by, and finding ones that won’t cost a pretty penny can be even harder still — and yet in Ireland, we’re blessed to have at least one failsafe option in just about every town, city or village you’ll pass through.
