It's worth noting that not many bus lines travel this route because of the distance and the road. If you manage to get a bus, you should expect at least two changes, and you might have to take a taxi, too, depending on the bus you take to get to Dingle.

From Shannon Airport to Dingle by taxi

On average, taxi fares start at 300 euros and can be as high as 500 euros for the 200-mile drive from Shannon Airport to Dingle. Taxi prices can also vary based on when you want to travel, the season, and the time.

Explore downtown Dingle

Just walking around Dingle is an experience in itself. There are eclectic jewelry and fashion shops to pop in on Green Street and cozy pubs like Foxy Johns, where you can have a lunch and a pint to celebrate your tour of this quaint Irish getaway.

Listen to traditional Irish music

Dingle is one of the best places on the Emerald Isle to listen to traditional Irish music. At "9-ish" many of the pubs come alive with live performances. Pop into whichever strikes your fancy, or plan to visit a different one each night you're in Dingle. For something a bit more structured, see if there's an event at St. James' Church.

Eat ice cream at Murphy's

Irish ice cream just tastes better, especially Murphys. When you visit Dingle, be sure to stop by Murphys Ice Cream. This little shop makes ice cream the traditional way and sources its high-quality ingredients from local farmers. So, when you enjoy a scoop of vanilla, just know that it's made with free-range eggs, local milk, and organic sugar.

Tour Gallarus Oratory

History enthusiasts shouldn't miss Gallarus Oratory. Overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and Mount Brandon this 1000-year-old stone church is one of the best-preserved in Ireland. The stacked-stone structure is the only one of its kind, and between its historic atmosphere and natural setting, you'll see its archeological value the second you lay eyes on it.

However, if you want to avoid peak season rates on accommodation, visiting during the spring is a great alternative. The weather is pleasant, and the Irish flowers are in full bloom. Spring also welcomes sunny days for picnics and strolls through the countryside – just remember to carry an umbrella.
