10 Things To Do In Ireland For Romantic Couples Hilarious Hippo

Ireland is the perfect romantic getaway for couples. It’s got everything from lush green landscapes and beaches, to cozy pubs serving delicious food and drink. Here are some of the best things to do in Ireland as a couple!

1. Titanic Experience Cobh

The Titanic Experience Cobh is a museum and visitor center dedicated to the RMS Titanic. It is located in Cobh, Co. Cork. The center was opened in 2010 and aims to raise awareness of how Irish emigrants were affected by the sinking of the ship.

The building itself was once used as an immigration processing center prior to its use as a hospital during World War I and later as a US Naval base during World War II before being decommissioned in 1996.

When visiting this attraction, you can learn about some interesting facts about Ireland’s connection with both World Wars including:

The fact that more than 700 soldiers from County Kerry fought at Gallipoli between Turkey and Australia against Ottoman forces during WWI;
On March 31st 1918 (a date which now marks International Women’s Day), over 2200 women marched through Dublin demanding political rights for women;
In 1919, Éamon de Valera was elected president of Sinn Féin on a platform which included “the abolition or complete independence” for Ireland – years later he would become leader of Fianna Fáil who went on to form Dáil Éireann after winning elections held in December 1922!

2. The Dingle Peninsula

The Dingle Peninsula is a great place for couples. It’s home to many beautiful beaches and great restaurants, in addition to its most famous attraction: the Blasket Islands.

The Blasket Islands are a group of five land masses off the west coast of Ireland that have been uninhabited since 1953. They were once inhabited by a small community who made their living as fishermen and farmers, but they were forced to leave when their homes began crumbling away due to erosion caused by storms and rising sea levels.

The only way you can get there now is through boat tours leaving from Portmagee or Dunquin near Dingle Town (which are also worth visiting if you’re going on one). But don’t worry—if getting off-the-ground isn’t your thing, there are plenty more activities available in town!

3. Blarney Castle & Gardens

The Blarney Castle is a medieval stronghold located in Blarney, near Cork City, in Ireland. It is renowned for the legend of the “Blarney Stone,” which is set into the battlements of the structure and can only be kissed when hanging upside down from nearby kissing points.

When kissed, it’s said that one will receive a never-ending flow of eloquence; though historians have questioned whether this was really what made James IV such an accomplished speaker!

4. Dublin Ghost Bus Tours

The Dublin Ghost Bus Tours are a great way to learn about the city’s history and folklore. If you’re looking for an interesting activity, this is it! The company offers a variety of tours that are available at night, during the day, or twilight (a combination of both).

5. The Grand Canal Boat trip in Dublin City Center

The Grand Canal is one of three navigations which comprise the Irish Waterways, along with Liffey Navigation and Royal Canal.
