THE 20 MOST CHARMING TOWNS IN IRELAND

Travel in the Emerald Isle can be measured by the succession of personal interactions. It’s impossible to visit and not be won over completely by the genuine warmth of an Irish welcome. Unsurprisingly, the charm of towns in Ireland is evident not just in the people but everywhere from the streets to the pubs. But what are some of the best small towns in Ireland to visit?

When you mention Ireland and travel in the same sentence, most folk usually think about the classics of Cork or Dublin. Perhaps it evokes a poetic idyll of Galway through a verse of Galway Bay, as sung by Liam Clancy, for the more discerning individual. But for the real hibernophiles (fans of Irish culture) out there, smaller towns may come to mind, with pleasant cottages and passionate communities.

TravelMag.com surveyed the people in the know to find out which are the best towns in Ireland. Towns of all sizes were considered for this survey, only excluding Ireland’s main five cities (Dublin, Galway, Cork, Waterford and Limerick). Similarly, we did not include any villages. Below you will find the 20 Irish towns that accumulated the most votes, from A to Z (well, technically W).
