Everyone loves a bargain!

And traveling around Ireland can be a bargain-seeker's joy, if you know where to look.

 

Many bargains are just common sense:

  • Travel in the off-peak fall/spring months (October - April)
  • Book advance-purchase promotional airfares online
  • Ask for inclusive weekend or midweek packages at hotels (2 or 3 nights at one place) - search for "special offers" or last-minute deals available only online
  • Stay in Bed & Breakfasts — family town homes and farmhouses
  • Choose self-catering accommodations and cook your own meals
  • Request restaurant value menus and "early bird" dining specials (usually available between 6 and 7 p.m.); for lunch, get take-away (i.e. take-out) items at supermarkets, delis or farmers markets.
  • Inquire about "senior" discounts, 2-for-1 admissions, and other discounts
  • If using a credit card, always ask to have your purchase charged in euros, not dollars (to avoid stores' high exchange rates)
  • Click here frequently for our special "BARGAIN PAGE."

In addition, you can save money in Ireland by buying travel passes or
discount vouchers and by subscribing to Ireland information services. Here
are three highly recommended money-savers — just click each one to
