I have a lot of aspiring female travel enthusiasts who read my blog and are always on the lookout of unique and creative travel plans. What better way to feed their wanderlust than by giving them <strong>a blend of Game of Thrones and travel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How To Get There:\u00a0<\/strong>After taking a flight into Dublin, there are a few ways by which you can reach Cliffs of Moher.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>By Bus:\u00a0<\/strong>Public transport in Ireland is cheap and convenient. First take a public bus from Dublin to Galway. From Galway, Bus Eireann runs 5 buses a day to Ennis (the closest town to the Cliffs).<\/li>\n<li><strong>By Rail:\u00a0<\/strong>Train connections are available from Dublin and Galway via Limerick to Ennis.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/assets.traveltriangle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Winter-Is-Coming.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-41756\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.traveltriangle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Winter-Is-Coming.jpg\" alt=\"A symbolic game of thrones tagline\" width=\"700\" height=\"466\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>The locations were absolutely stunning and breathtaking. However, you would also realize how different they look on screen and in real life. Overrated? Not at all. But, Different? Yes. Upon reaching there you realize how much of graphics and preparation goes into making those Game of Thrones locations to look more medieval.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Challenges faced in Ireland<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Visiting the<strong> Game of Thrones locations in the UK &amp; Ireland can be a big challenge<\/strong>. Partly because of the expensive cost of the Game of Thrones tour if you do it via a travel agency. Another major natural obstacle faced by travelers is the <strong>weather in Ireland<\/strong> which happens to be very<strong> erratic and unpredictable<\/strong>. It won&#8217;t be a bad idea for one to carry a raincoat all the time in their backpack.<\/p>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/assets.traveltriangle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/got1-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-41859\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.traveltriangle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/got1-1.jpg\" alt=\"Stunning view overlooking the cliffs of Moher\" width=\"700\" height=\"466\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><a class=\"imagesource-link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thebetterindia.com\/73149\/northern-ireland-game-of-thrones-solo-travel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Image Source<\/a><br \/>\nHowever daunting it may sound, but with a proper amount of homework, and a map in hand at all times, traveling solo in Ireland on a relative budget is <strong>definitely doable<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>It is also important to note that traveling in Ireland requires a bit more of spontaneity than usual. The weather definitely dictates terms and an extra couple of days or not, a jam packed itinerary will go a long way in helping you de-stress out on your vacation.<\/p>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/assets.traveltriangle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/got8.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-41884\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.traveltriangle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/got8.jpg\" alt=\"Pooja covering the green landscape\" width=\"700\" height=\"466\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><a class=\"imagesource-link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thebetterindia.com\/73149\/northern-ireland-game-of-thrones-solo-travel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Image Source<\/a><br \/>\n<em> All images are a property of Pooja Kochar.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pooja took her Game of Thrones obsession to another level when she decided to discover and explore the stunning locations in Ireland where Game of Thrones was shot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":62,"featured_media":41752,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[165,135],"tags":[1417,1416,9817,467,264,1009,402,385,1265,1304],"coauthors":[1409],"class_list":{"0":"post-41632","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-travel-story","8":"category-travelogues","9":"tag-got","10":"tag-ireland","11":"tag-leaderboardads","12":"tag-referralpopup","13":"tag-showform","14":"tag-solo","15":"tag-travel-story","16":"tag-travelogue","17":"tag-united-kingdom","18":"tag-woman-traveler"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Pooja&#039;s Solo Trip To Game Of Thrones Locations In Ireland<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Pooja sails across the narrow sea to do what most Game of Thrones fans dream of.
