    Spring is in the air on the island of Ireland in February. Bright yellow daffodils start to bloom in parks and gardens, animals emerge from hibernation in the countryside, and folks in towns and cities look ahead to a year of exciting events.

    Chief among them is St Brigid's Day on 1 February, when the people of Ireland pay homage to one of their patron saints. And it's a bank holiday in the Republic of Ireland, meaning bars and restaurants will be abuzz with the energy of a long weekend.

    Added to Valentine's Day, Six Nations Rugby and much more, it's just one more reason to visit Ireland at this rejuvenating time of year. So, bucket list at the ready – Ireland in February travel tips are coming up!

    Valentine's Day in Ireland

    Planning a couple's break for St Valentine's Day on 14 February? Well, Ireland has some of the most romantic destinations around, from fairytale castle hotels to cosy self-catering stays. Top of the list might be Kylemore Abbey. This beautiful castle, set within the wilds of Connemara in County Galway, was built as a “love token” by businessman Mitchell Henry for his wife Margaret in the 1870s. It’s just one of the romantic must-sees on the island of Ireland, and if you're looking for more inspiration, check out our 9 ways to spend St Valentine's Day in Ireland.

    For something a little bit different but no less memorable, you could visit the Relics of St Valentine himself. Believe it or not, they’ve been located in Dublin since 1836 and were gifted by Pope Gregory XVI! The Shrine of St Valentine can be found in Whitefriar Street Church.

    And guys, if you plan on popping the question, we've got you covered. Here are 9 great wedding proposal spots around Ireland, from clifftop temples to dreamy waterfalls.

    Fancy yourself as a clever cupid after all this lovey-dovey talk? Test yourself with our St Valentine quiz!

    Six Nations Rugby

    February also sees the return of Six Nations Rugby action to the island. Rugby in Ireland has been going from strength to strength in recent years, and the national side are now one of the best teams in the world! So, if you're lucky enough to get tickets, you're in for a sporting treat. The atmosphere is always electric as a talented Irish side looks to put on a show in front of 50,000 screaming fans in Dublin's Aviva Stadium.

    If you can't get tickets, don't worry. There are loads of great pubs near the stadium where you can watch the matches and cheer on with the locals. Try Searsons on Baggot Street, a favoured haunt of legendary Irish writers Patrick Kavanagh and Brendan Behan. Or visit The Bridge 1859, an award-winning gastropub that's owned by retired Irish rugby players Jamie Heaslip and Sean O'Brien.
