  • On the way back, see the rugged landscapes of the Vale of Clara, home to the smallest village in Ireland.


Modern and medieval landmarks

Board a bus for a scenic, guided drive through Dublin to County Wicklow. Enjoy views of the capital’s landmarks and snap a selfie in front of the Merrion Square Doorways. Drive into the peaceful Wicklow Mountains, arriving at the sixth-century monastic ruins of Glendalough.
