Hello, I'm traveling from the U.S. in a few weeks. Looking for advice on a Claddagh ring? (lemmy.world)

I'd like to buy one in Galway/Claddagh.

Any suggestion for a quality, authentic shop? TIA.

Ty. I'll keep it in mind. We don't have solid itinerary.

Other than the tourist trap spots in Dublin. Guinness & Jameson.

My favourite tourist attraction is the newgrange burial mound. Older than the pyramids and have a burial chamber that only fully lights up on the winter solstice. I always bring foreign visiting friends. There are bus trips from the city centre.

There and back from the city and the tour takes about half a day. You can include the round towers for about another 90 minutes on your itinerary and they're pretty cool too.

Worth keeping in mind.

Best pub in Dublin imo is Mulligan's on poolbeg street. Alternatively Doheny and Nesbitt's if you're staying South of the river.

Enjoy!
