The two destinations are close, and a short ferry ride is all it takes to get from one to the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bs-reponse-express wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>In short:<\/strong> For a combined Scotland and Ireland trip, allow 12 to 16 days. The most convenient route connects Edinburgh, the Highlands and Skye, then takes a ferry from Cairnryan to Belfast (2 hours 15 minutes) to reach the Giant&#039;s Causeway, Dublin, and the west coast of Ireland. Travel between May and September to enjoy the long days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"brightside-cta-intro\" style=\"margin:24px 0;padding:18px 20px;background:#faf8f0;border-left:4px solid #384229;border-radius:6px\"><div style=\"margin:0 0 10px;color:#1b1f13\"><strong>Fancy combining Scotland and Ireland?<\/strong> Our on-site experts design your <a style=\"color:#384229;text-decoration:underline;font-weight:600\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brightside-travel.com\/en\/destination\/tailor-made-trip-to-scotland\/\">tailor-made trip<\/a>, ferry and accommodation included.<\/div><div style=\"margin:0\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightside-travel.com\/en\/request-a-quote\/?destination=voyage-ecosse-sur-mesure\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#384229;color:#ffffff;font-weight:600;padding:12px 22px;border-radius:6px;text-decoration:none\">Get my free quote<\/a> <span style=\"font-size:.9em;color:#555;margin-left:8px\">Free and without obligation<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why combine Scotland and Ireland?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The two countries share a Celtic culture, but their atmospheres are very different. Scotland impresses with its mountains, lochs, and castles. Ireland, on the other hand, charms with its cliffs, colorful villages, and lively pubs. By combining them, you can enjoy a very diverse trip without long journeys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>A short crossing<\/strong> : approximately 2 hours 15 minutes ferry ride between Cairnryan and Belfast.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>One trip, two cultures<\/strong> Whiskey and bagpipes on one side, traditional music and Guinness on the other.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Easy flights<\/strong> : arrival in Edinburgh and return from Dublin, without retracing your steps.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Complementary landscapes<\/strong> : Scottish Highlands and Islands, then the wild Irish coast.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I get from Scotland to Ireland?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The easiest way is still by ferry. Two companies connect Scotland to Northern Ireland: Stena Line, from Cairnryan to Belfast, and P&amp;O Ferries, from Cairnryan to Larne. The crossing takes about 2 hours, and you can take your rental car on board, provided you inform the rental company. Our guide for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightside-travel.com\/en\/guides\/car-rental-england-scotland-ireland\/\">rent a car in Scotland and Ireland<\/a> details these conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also take a short flight between Edinburgh or Glasgow and Dublin or Belfast. It&#039;s convenient, but you lose the flexibility of a car and the beauty of the coastal road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our 14-day Scotland and Ireland itinerary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Days 1 to 3: Edinburgh and Stirling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start with Edinburgh, its castle, the Royal Mile, and the Old Town. Then, head towards <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightside-travel.com\/en\/guides\/what-to-do-in-stirling\/\">Stirling<\/a> and its castle, before heading to the Highlands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Days 4 to 7: Highlands, Glencoe and Isle of Skye<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cross the valley of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightside-travel.com\/en\/guides\/glencoe\/\">Glencoe<\/a>, Then follow the Loch Ness coast to Inverness. Spend two nights on the\u2019<a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightside-travel.com\/en\/guides\/must-see-attractions-on-the-isle-of-skye\/\">Isle of Skye<\/a>, for its legendary landscapes such as the Old Man of Storr or the Fairy Pools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Days 8 and 9: Oban, Loch Lomond and the crossing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Head back south via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightside-travel.com\/en\/guides\/what-to-do-in-oban\/\">Oban<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightside-travel.com\/en\/guides\/what-to-do-loch-lomond-trossachs\/\">Loch Lomond<\/a>. Then take the ferry from Cairnryan to reach Belfast in the early evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Days 10 and 11: Belfast and the Giant&#039;s Causeway<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightside-travel.com\/en\/guides\/things-to-do-in-belfast\/\">Belfast<\/a> and the Titanic Museum, then follow the Causeway Coast to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightside-travel.com\/en\/guides\/giants-causeway\/\">Giant&#039;s Causeway<\/a>. Series fans will also recognize several <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightside-travel.com\/en\/guides\/game-of-thrones-filming-locations-northern-ireland\/\">Game of Thrones filming locations<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Days 12 to 14: Connemara or Dublin<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finish with the west coast of Ireland, with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightside-travel.com\/en\/guides\/connemara-a-complete-guide\/\">Connemara<\/a> and Galway, or spend two days in Dublin before your return flight. With two extra days, add the Cliffs of Moher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looking for a pre-planned tour?

The pace remains brisk.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>14 days<\/strong> : the ideal duration, with Skye on the Scottish side and the west coast on the Irish side.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>16 days or more<\/strong> : add the Scottish islands or Kerry, for a great trip without rushing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When is the best time to go on a trip to Scotland and Ireland?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best time to visit is from May to September, thanks to the very long days and milder weather. June and September offer a good balance between good weather and crowds. For more information, consult our guides. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightside-travel.com\/en\/guides\/when-to-go-to-scotland\/\">when to go to Scotland<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightside-travel.com\/en\/guides\/when-to-go-to-ireland\/\">when to go to Ireland<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What budget is needed for a combined trip?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a 14-day trip, expect to spend between \u20ac2,500 and \u20ac4,500 per person, excluding flights, depending on the level of accommodation. This budget includes a rental car, ferry crossing, nights in hotels or charming B&amp;Bs, and the main sightseeing tours. Our guides from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightside-travel.com\/en\/guides\/ireland-travel-budget\/\">budget in Ireland<\/a> They also provide useful benchmarks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do you need a passport to travel from Scotland to Ireland?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom, no checks are carried out when arriving from Scotland. However, to enter the United Kingdom, French citizens need a passport and an electronic travel authorization (ETA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is it possible to visit Scotland and Ireland in 10 days?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, but you have to focus on the essentials: Edinburgh, the Highlands, then Belfast and the Giant&#039;s Causeway. Beyond that, the trip quickly becomes too much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is it better to start with Scotland or Ireland?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both directions work. We often advise starting in Scotland and ending in Dublin, as there are many return flights from Dublin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Plan your trip to Scotland and Ireland with Brightside Travel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Brightside Travel, our local team organizes tailor-made combination trips between Scotland and Ireland.
