My husband and i went there on our honeymoon also in the month of June.(Be prepared for rain and wind not matter what the for cast says) We found alot of information at tourismireland.com and discoverireland.com. but we went thru a travel agent who was able to find us exactly what we wanted. And using one you can get a great deal and lots of little perks, like two for one admissions, behind the scenes tours, percentages off of hotels restaurants and crystal, i HIGHLY recommend staying at least 2 nights in a castle, its an amazing experience.( we stayed at Ashford, even though its far from most towns it was amazing and there was tons of stuff to do, i enjoyed falconry the best)
We opted to stay in southern Ireland because it is cheaper as well as it had more of the things we wanted to see(Dublin, cliffs of mohr, kerry, Blarney)
Yes you will be able to rent a car in Ireland and despite what people say it is not hard, my recommendation is to get a small car, dont go for luxury the roads arent big enough for that. And if you do visit Dublin ditch the car and take the bus tours theyre cheap and come by every 15 min. And will take you to all the major hot spots and landmarks in Dublin.
But whatever you decide o do or go im sure youll have an amazing time.

Go North West - to Inishowen, Gweedore, Derry, Limavady, Dunluce Castle, Carrickfergus Castle, County Clare, Kilkenny, Armagh, Waterford, Dunmore East, Doolin, Mountains of Mourne, Fermanagh and the lakes etc etc

I would recommend that you read Around Ireland with a Fridge to get a real good picture of the Irish and our attitude to visitors.

You'll be OK with your US driving licence.

Quiet and romantic? Stay out of the cities in the summer so.

If it's your first time, go on a tour, let them worry about logistics and hotels and that, and you can enjoy the scenery with your other half.

You need an international driver's licence to drive in Ireland, and you should also be aware that there are very few automatic cars to be had. The steering wheel is on the right of the car, and you drive on the left hand side of the road.

http://www.viator.com/tours/Ireland/The-Dublin-Pass/d56-2032DUB_PASS < -- This gives you a basic rundown of things to do in Ireland.

The Guinness house, Dublin Zoo, Croke Park, Wicklow Jail , Kilmanen Jail and the GPO which is a post office with a great historical significance to it are great things to see.

You could go down to Cork and See the Blarney Stone. The myth is I you kiss it you’ll never shut up!
For the scenery I like the Wicklow mountains.--- > http://www.gsi.ie/NR/rdonlyres/6CC9C746-1FC5-44E3-891E-A71EEDFDE99B/0/sugarloaf.jpg
Also in Wicklow, are the Sugarloaf mountains. They’re very beautiful too.-- > http://www.lookaroundireland.com/counties/wicklow/sugarloaf.htm

In Dublin, The best night life is definitely in Temple Bar. It’s big, It’s modern and It’s expensive while it has loads of history and culture to it too.
If you want a relaxing, quiet holiday in the country or enjoy the scenery, then any parts of the country will do it for you really like Donegal, Galway, Clare, Mayo etc.
If you want a shopping, busy, touristy holiday then anywhere (or most places) in Dublin will do it for you.
A town in Kerry (the South of Ireland, It’s beside Cork too) called Tralee is very touristy. It is the largest town in Ireland.
It has many attractions and loads of shops and a great night life.
It’s great for young people and people with small families. It suits everyone.
It has an aqua dome swimming pool which is always packed and outside the pool, You can play crazy Golf.
Here is a site on Tralee: http://www.tralee-insight.com/

Killarney is another county which caters a lot for tourists. It has good Castles if you’re into that and it has a lovely countryside and the sea is nice there too. Here is a website on Tourism in Killarney--- > http://killarney-ireland.info/

The People in Ireland, in my opinion are an extremely welcoming race. I think this because I have went to other countries from a young age on exchanges, holidays with college etc. and I thought no one was as hospitable as the Irish.

Good Luck. = )

One thing you have to do is to have dinner at Gordon Ramsay at Powerscourt. It's about an hour outside of Dublin, but is definitely a good place for a romantic dinner. Bloody expensive though at around 180 euros for a dinner for two. Make sure to book in advance!

if you want romantic go to Paris, France or Venice, Italy
