"Made here in Dingle, Murphy's sublime ice cream comes in a daily changing range of flavours that include brown bread, sea salt, Dingle gin and whiskey-laced Irish coffee, along with sorbets made with rainwater...."

"The Dingle Pub has got to be one of the most electric environments for a classic pub night out in town. There is not a chance you’ll miss it (amidst the throng of other pub faces) with its white and shamrock green façade, but that’s where the twee stylings end: The Dingle Pub is traditional Irish through-and-through. Live music and classic grub will keep you keen all night, over some of the best Guinness in town."

"Located in the main street in the heart of Dingle town is this large, open plan pub. A favorite among tourists as well as young locals and un veterans, the Dingle Pub also hosts nightly music gigs. There’s a pool table if you want other things to do while nursing your dark stuff (Guinness)."

"‪The Marina Inn’s pub is an instant favorite among tourists, and popular because of the chill atmosphere, traditional Irish music performances, and customer service. Those who have been here also rave about the food that’s served in hefty portions, perfect if you’re staying longer while hanging out with friends. This spacious pub gets high recommendations for the warm and friendly staff, earning promises of more visits from new and old patrons alike."

"The Dingle Peninsula's most important Christian site, Kilmalkedar has a beautiful setting with sweeping views over Smerwick Harbour. Built in the 12th century on the site of a 7th-century monastery founded by St Maolcethair, the roofless church is a superb example of Irish Romanesque architecture, its round-arched west door decorated with chevron patterns and a carved human head. In the graveyard you'll find an Ogham stone and a carved stone sundial. It's 7.5km northeast of Ballyferriter."

"Another one of the best things to do in Dingle (especially when the weather turns sour) is to check out the Dingle Oceanworld Aquarium. You may be surprised to learn that this is Ireland’s largest aquarium and promotes rehabilitation, research, and education above all. Hours could be easily lost in this centre with some stunning displays of sealife (as well as wildlife)."

"Dingle's aquarium is a lot of fun, and includes a walk-through tunnel and a touch pool. Psychedelic fish glide through tanks that recreate such environments as Lake Malawi, the River Congo and the piranha-filled..."

"Derrynane House was the home of Maurice 'Hunting Cap' O'Connell, a notorious local smuggler who grew rich on trade with France and Spain. He was the uncle of Daniel O'Connell, the 19th-century campaigner for Catholic emancipation, who grew up here in his uncle's care and inherited the property in 1825, when it became his private retreat. The house is furnished with O'Connell memorabilia, including the impressive triumphal chariot in which he lapped Dublin after his release from prison in 1844."

"The jagged, 217m-high rock of Skellig Michael (Archangel Michael's Rock; like St Michael's Mount in Cornwall and Mont St Michel in Normandy) is the larger of the two Skellig Islands and a Unesco World Heritage site. Early Christian monks established a community and survived here from the 6th until the 12th or 13th century. The monastic buildings perch on a saddle in the rock, some 150m above sea level, reached by 618 steep steps cut into the rock face."

"Indeed, it may be a challenge to get an authentic slice of Italian pizza on the Emerald Isle, but Pizzeria Novecento is on the money.
