How to Book a Trip to Dublin and the Cliffs of Moher

See the Irish coast on your own terms by breaking up the cost over a year and a half.

VoAtlas editorial Updated · 3 min read
Typical cost $2,400 before anything else
Across the 0% window $133.33/mo 18 months, no interest

How we got that: $2,400 spread evenly across the 18-month introductory window on the Citi Simplicity® Credit Card. Checked · at the bank Carry a balance past the window and the standard APR applies to what is left.

Dublin is all about the quiet corners of the city, like the Trinity College library, before you head west to see the Cliffs of Moher. Booking four months out during the shoulder season keeps prices lower and the crowds manageable.

If you want to spread the $2400 cost of this trip, you can use the Citi Simplicity® Credit Card, which offers 0% for 18 months on purchases and balance transfers from date of account opening. This lets you pay off the trip in manageable chunks.

Remember that the 0% intro period is a hard deadline, not free money. If you have a balance left on the card after the 18 months are up, the bank will start charging you interest on whatever you still owe.

The steps

  1. 01

    Lock in your dates

    Aim for May or September to get the best weather without the peak summer prices. Set price alerts on flight trackers now so you know when the $2400 estimate drops.

  2. 02

    Use your payment window

    By using the Citi Simplicity® Credit Card, you get an intro window on purchases of 18 months. If your total trip cost is $2400, paying $133.33 per month will clear the balance before the interest-free period ends.

  3. 03

    Book your transport west

    Rent a car or book a train from Dublin to Galway. Doing this early helps you avoid last-minute price hikes.

  4. 04

    Secure your base

    Find a place in Dublin or near the coast that offers free cancellation. Keep your total lodging costs within the budget you set for your monthly payments.

  5. 05

    Automate your payments

    Set up an automatic payment for $134 each month. This ensures you stay on track and don't miss a deadline.

  6. 06

    Check the card terms before you commit

    Every figure we publish for the Citi Simplicity® Credit Card carries the date a person verified it against Citi and a link to where they checked. Intro windows and APRs change without notice, so confirm the current terms before applying.

Common questions

What happens if I miss a monthly payment?

Missing a payment can end your 0% intro rate early. Always pay at least the minimum amount on time to keep the deal active.

Is the interest really zero?

Yes, but only for the 18-month window. It is not a free trip; it is just a way to pay for the trip over time without extra fees.

Can I use this for hotels too?

You can use the card for any part of your trip, including flights, hotels, and tours. Just watch your total so you don't overspend your budget.

What is the shoulder season?

It is the time between the busy summer and the quiet winter. You get better flight and hotel rates while still having decent weather to walk the cliffs.
