7 days in Donegal Town Itinerary

Its rugged setting and friendly locals make Donegal a popular destination along Ireland's coast.

Museum-lovers will appreciate Donegal Craft Village and Belleek Castle Museum. Popular historic sites such as Donegal Castle and Glenveagh Castle are in your itinerary. Venture out of the city with trips to Narin Beach (in Narin-Portnoo), Poison Glen (in Gweedore) and Sligo Abbey (in Sligo). There's still lots to do: enjoy the sand and surf at Silver Strand Beach, stroll through Five Fingers Strand, tee off at Donegal Golf Club, and get engrossed in the history at Hennigan's Heritage Centre.

If you are flying in from United Kingdom, the closest major airports are Dublin Airport, Shannon Airport and Cork Airport. In May, plan for daily highs up to 16°C, and evening lows to 12°C. Wrap up your sightseeing on the 31st (Fri) early enough to travel back home.
