What to see in Ireland
Donegal
Tourist attractions Donegal
Located on the rugged northwest coast of Ireland, Donegal is a must-visit for those seeking breathtaking landscapes and an immersion in authentic Irish culture. This county offers a wide variety of attractions, from mountains and cliffs to beaches and castles, all set in a natural environment that will leave you in awe.
One of the main highlights is the Slieve League Cliffs, among the highest in Europe, offering spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean. For hiking enthusiasts, Mount Errigal, the tallest peak in Donegal, is a must-see. From its summit, you can enjoy unbeatable panoramic views of the surrounding landscapes.
The Glenveagh National Park is another key spot, home to the beautiful Glenveagh Castle, surrounded by gardens, lakes, and mountains. This park is perfect for peaceful walks or more challenging trails. On the coast, Malin Head, Ireland’s northernmost point, not only offers stunning views but is also a popular spot for witnessing the Northern Lights.
Donegal’s beaches are also a major draw, especially Rossnowlagh and Bundoran, known for their perfect waves for surfing and as family-friendly destinations. If you prefer a more secluded setting, the Donegal Islands, such as Tory and Aranmore, offer the chance to explore ancient ruins and experience traditional island life, where Gaelic is still the primary language.
History and culture are also woven into Donegal’s charm. Donegal Castle, located in the town of the same name, is a 15th-century restored fortress that offers a fascinating insight into the life of Irish clans. You can also visit the picturesque village of Ardara, renowned for its handcrafted tweed production and lively traditional music festivals.
For those interested in local history, Glencolmcille is a charming valley that houses the Folk Village, an open-air museum recreating Irish rural life from centuries past. Finally, the famous Wild Atlantic Way runs through Donegal, allowing you to enjoy one of the world’s most stunning coastal routes, with secluded beaches, welcoming villages, and unforgettable views at every turn.
