Ireland Road Trip Map - 75+ Handpicked Locations on Google Maps
75+ personally visited locations - scenic viewpoints, photo spots, parking, and hidden gems - ready to open in Google Maps.
A curated Google Maps guide built from our own Ireland road trips - scenic viewpoints, photo spots, parking, cafes, and hidden gems across the full island.
Planning an Ireland road trip means drowning in tabs.
You open Google Maps, add a few castles, search โbest cafes in Galway,โ copy pins from three different travel blogs - and end up with 40 bookmarks and no idea which ones are worth your time.
This is not that.
Our Ireland travel map is a single, organized Google Maps guide we built from our own road trips around the island. Every pin is somewhere we actually drove to, walked through, ate at, or stopped to photograph. Nothing is lifted from a listicle. If a viewpoint made it onto this map, we were there ourselves and thought: this is worth the detour.
Whatโs inside
The map focuses on western Ireland and Dublin. Pins are organized by category so you can filter exactly what you need:
- Scenic viewpoints - The pull-overs and panoramas where you stop mid-sentence. Weโve included the classics and the ones that donโt have a car park full of tour buses yet.
- Photo spots - Cliffs, castle ruins, foggy mountain passes, the kind of light that only exists in Ireland. Every pin has enough context to know what youโre shooting and when to be there.
- Parking - Underrated, but critical on Irelandโs back roads. Weโve pinned exact parking areas so youโre not circling for 30 minutes on a one-lane road.
- Cafes & restaurants - Places we actually ate at, with real food we actually enjoyed. Not just the ones with the most Google reviews.
- Other useful stops - ferry terminals, spots accessible by car when walking isnโt an option, etc.
Why a Google Maps guide, not a travel blog?
Youโve already read the blog posts. You know the Cliffs of Moher are beautiful. What you need now is everything in one place, on your phone, ready to navigate - including offline, while youโre driving the R335 with zero signal.
Google Maps is how you actually travel. So thatโs where we put it.

At checkout, enter the Google account email you use for Google Maps. Weโll share the map directly to that account - it appears in your saved lists within a few minutes. Open it on your phone, filter by category, and go. No app to download, no subscription to manage.
Who this map is for

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get the map after I pay?
Before checkout, enter the email of the Google account you use for Google Maps. Once the payment goes through, we share the map with that account and email you the steps to open it. It usually shows up within a few minutes.
Where do I find the map in Google Maps?
In the Google Maps app, signed in with the same account, tap "You" (or "Saved"), scroll to "Maps" and open it. You can also open Google Drive, go to "Shared with me" and tap the map there.
Do I need another app or a subscription?
No. The map opens in Google Maps, which is most likely already on your phone, and you pay once. There is no subscription.
Can I open the map on a computer?
Yes. It is a Google My Maps map, so it also opens in a browser on your computer when you are signed in to the same Google account.
What happens if you update the map?
The map is shared with your Google account rather than sent as a copy, so if we add or fix pins later, you see the changes in the same map. There is nothing to download again.
I can't find the map. What should I do?
Check that you're signed in with the email you entered before checkout, and look for our email in your spam folder. If the map still isn't there, reply to that email and we'll sort it out.
