Hello all. My wife and I are going to Ireland and Scotland from August 23 – Sept 7th. We arrive in Dublin in the early AM. I think out initial plan definatly subject to change is to go to Dublin, Kilkenny, Galway up to Belfast and the ferry over to Stranraer and stay in Scotland Edinburgh we are thinking for 4 nights. So the plan would be like 3 nights in Dublin, 2 nights in Kilkenny, 2 nights in Galway, 2 nights in Belfast see the Giant Causeway etc, then 4 nights in Scotland Edinburgh then back to Dublin for the last few nights and fly out. So any information would be extremely helpful to me or advice about maybe skipping one area and going somewhere better. Here are some initial questions that would be a huge help.

We are planning on driving so we would want to get a rental car for say 9 days while in Ireland and pickup in Dublin dropoff in Belfast before we take the ferry. Can this be done and what would be the closest location to the ferry area? Any idea on US cost
I know budget and europcar definatly allows pickup in Dublin and dropoff at either Belfast International Airport, Belfast Downtown etc.

Ask not what to see but what to see first!

Museums and galleries are dotted about Sofia city centre, if you like this sort of thing, you will find yourself spoilt for choice! You could scoot about the city in your Sofia Airport hire car or take to the wonderfully efficient public transport system. Top tourist attractions in the great Bulgarian city include the National History Museum, the Museum of Earth and Men and the Bulgarian National Gallery.

Art lovers will never feel more spoilt for this grand ornate building was once the domain of the Bulgarian monarchy and is packed with thousands of art treasures. Do not leave Sofia without visiting this gem of an attraction!

Other great sights about the city include the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, the Bulgarian Natural History Museum, the Boyana Church and the Sofia city Art Gallery. Art lovers will have had the words up about the icon collection at the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. It possesses the biggest collection of orthodox icons held anywhere in Europe.

I’d like to go on a nice super cheap break in Ireland, check out some beautiful countryside and generally get away from the hustle and tussle of London. Possibly stay in a cottage, and it’d be a bonus if I can get there via non flying means such as a ferry. I’d love to know you’re recommendations. Oh and it’s for two people and we’re traveling from London. Thanks!
