Day 4: Pick up rental car, leave Dublin, drive to Kilkenny, do Medieval Mile (museum, castle), drinks at Kyteler’s inn, sleep Kilkenny
Day 5: Spend day in Kilkenny, visit any leftover Medieval Mile sights, climb Canice’s Cathedral, shopping/leisure, sleep Kilkenny
Day 6: Leave Kilkenny, drive to Killarney, do Rock of Cashel and Cahir Castle on the way
Day 7: Spend day in/near Killarney: hike Gap of Dunloe, do Killarney National Park, sleep Killarney

Day 9: Spend day in Galway
Day 10: Drive Galway to Dublin early in the morning, return rental car, fly out of Dublin late afternoon
I am very open to suggestions and changes!
A few things about us:
Titanic museum is a non-negotiable. I’ve been obsessed with Titanic history since I was a child and it’s a literal dream of mine to go. (But please let me know if there’s a better place to put it in the trip itinerary!)
We love medieval and prior history. My husband in particular is super interested in seeing medieval buildings, armor, ruins, the whole bit. Would love any suggestions for this, or any must-sees related to it.
We also really love nature and my #1 goal is to see the beauty of the Irish landscape, as well as visit the bigger cities and small towns where appropriate.
I’d love options of places to visit on the way between driving destinations, if you think there’s room for that in our plans.
We are vegan so any places that are particularly vegan-friendly are a plus!
We are in our early 30s and fairly active. We like to walk!
