1. Lough Tay

Lough Tay, also called The Guinness Lake is one of the most photographed spots in Ireland - the stunning scenery of the lake surrounded by the mountains is just breath-taking. The dark colour of its water reminds one of a pint of Guinness and for this reason, it’s said that the lake is used to produce our most famous beer.

2. Glendalough

On your way to Wicklow, your group can’t miss a visit to Glendalough. The site was previously a monastic settlement and is located nearby 2 lakes, that’s why Glendalough is also called the “Valley of the Two Lakes” – take a stroll along the walking trails and enjoy the Lower Lake first and the Upper Lake later.

3. Powerscourt Estate

Powerscourt Estate hosts the most beautiful gardens in Ireland, including the splendid Italian and Japanese gardens, and it’s also home to Ireland’s highest waterfall. No wonder that it has been no. 3 in the World’s Top 10 Gardens by the National Geographic.

4. Wicklow Gaol

Wicklow Gaol is a former prison converted into a museum. Its tour will cover major Irish historical events such as the 1798 Rebellion and the 1840s Famine, the prisoner’s daily routine and the life of people who lived and died here.
