8) Ireland
Ireland is another great European location for seniors. When booking lodging, renting a car, or buying admission tickets, be sure to inquire about pensioner discounts, as senior discounts for those over 60 are called there. Guided tours are another option for keeping it simple. There are fast-paced options that pack as much in as possible, as well as leisurely options for those that prefer to linger. However, for those that prefer a do-it-yourself approach, Ireland is well-connected by rail. Renting a car is another option, though you need to keep in mind that some countries have minimum and maximum ages that are permitted to drive a rental. In Ireland, many companies have a cutoff of 75 years old. Unsurprisingly, summer is the most popular time to visit, but you can find great savings in spring and fall.
