Why visit in 2026

The right year for an Ireland trip.

A new geopark designation, a Michelin-rated food scene, fresh greenways, and an island that has quietly become Europe's top "quietcation" destination. Here's what's changed.

01

The quietcation capital

Digital-detox getaways are 2026's top travel trend, and nowhere does unrushed quite like Ireland — yurts, lake cottages, slow trains, empty greenways.

02

New UNESCO Geopark

Joyce Country & Western Lakes joined Ireland's geopark roster — five protected geological wonderlands now span the island.

03

A serious food destination

New Michelin stars in Dublin, world-class produce in Cork and a generation of chefs rewriting Irish cuisine from the ground up.

04

Film & literary tourism

From the new Game of Thrones spin-offs filmed in County Down to Sally Rooney's Dublin, screen and page tourism is booming.
