Doolin Walking Tour
Doolin, Ireland
Why Walk Doolin
Doolin is a crossroads village of about 200 people that punches far above its weight as a center of traditional Irish music. Three pubs — Gus O'Connor's, McGann's, and MacDiarmada's — host nightly trad sessions that draw musicians from across Ireland. The Cliffs of Moher are a short walk or drive away, and ferries depart from Doolin Pier to the Aran Islands.

May through September. Music sessions run year-round. Summer evenings on the cliffs are magical but bring a warm layer — Atlantic winds are strong.
