As the country moves on to the next stage of its remarkable response to the global pandemic, Donegal Tourism invites you to discover what’s on your doorstep.

Cllr Rena Donaghey, Cathaoirleach of Donegal County Council stated: “There is so much to explore without leaving Donegal – our amazing beaches, rugged coastlines, spectacular landscapes, historic sites and monuments, and welcoming offshore islands; not to mention our fantastic food and accommodation offerings. In this unprecedented era of Zoom quizzes and social media challenges, perhaps it is time to set yourself the challenge of visiting some of the world class destinations that are closer than you think but were perhaps too close to consider, or to ask yourself if you have fully explored this amazing county surrounding you.”
Donegal Tourism is now launching many fantastic packages within their website to promote Internal Tourism for those living in Donegal, who wish to explore more of the county. These packages will provide you with special rate offers on activities, accommodation and food.
Once you have made the decision to get out and about, be sure to take your camera to capture the many magical moments you will experience.
