25 most instagrammable places in Ireland

1. Cliffs of Moher, County Clare

Topping the list is one of the most breathtaking places in the world – the Cliffs of Moher. Don't be afraid to walk along the path by the cliffs to take incredible photos at the edge of the world.

2. Temple Bar, Dublin

In second place is Temple Bar. Despite the name, it is not just one bar but a whole area in the center of Dublin filled with pubs, lively crowds, and live music. But of course, the most photographed attraction remains the bar of the same name, whose lively scene can even be watched through a street camera.

3. Howth, County Dublin

Howth is a cozy coastal town with delicious restaurants and one of the most popular cliff walk routes among Dubliners, the Howth Cliff Walk, next to the picturesque Baily Lighthouse.

4. Trinity College, Dublin

Although the most valuable attraction at Trinity College is the Book of Kells, the most photogenic remains the Long Room of the Old Library.

5. Dingle, County Kerry

Dingle is one of the smallest yet most colorful peninsulas in southern Ireland. The harsh ocean, impassable cliffs, and winding roads contrast with cute colorful villages and friendly dolphins. Dun Chaoin Pier is the most popular spot among photographers. If you’re lucky, you might even catch a flock of sheep climbing up this path.

6. Phoenix Park, Dublin

Phoenix Park is a huge forest where several hundred deer roam freely across the territory and even allow people to get close to them.

7. Glendalough, County Wicklow

Glendalough is the valley of two lakes. This stunning glacial rift with wild nature and a 6th-century monastic settlement won't leave anyone indifferent. For a great view, we recommend taking a simple but quite long route to the upper lake's source.

8. Guinness Storehouse, Dublin

11. Cobh, County Cork

An incredibly beautiful cathedral, a cozy fishing harbor, and the last stop of the Titanic. A photo with the cathedral and the street of West View will turn out very colorful, but to take it, you’ll need to jump around a high stone fence.

12. Aran Islands, County Galway

The Aran Islands are a group of three islands: Inishmore, Inishmaan, and Inisheer, located off the west coast of Ireland. Due to their isolation from the mainland, the islanders have managed to preserve their culture and customs to a greater extent.

18. Ha'penny Bridge, Dublin
