Over the course of my year in Ireland and my previous trip there in 2012, I did several touristy attractions and tours. I created a definitive list of the favorite things I did. This is by no means a complete or final list. I know for a fact there are things I’ve forgotten and countless things that I have not done.

Feel free to chime in with your thoughts on the list!
