Skellig Michael: Scaling 600 Steep Stairs to Star Wars Ruins

4.9 (190)

Book your boat landing spot months early or you simply won't go. The 600-step climb up uneven, jagged stone stairs is an actual workout, not a casual stroll. Once you reach the sixth-century monastery, the solitude and the puffins are unreal. Skip it if you have bad knees or hate heights. Wear sturdy hiking boots—flip-flops are a literal death trap here. Keep it brief, catch the boat back, and don't miss the local pub drinks after.

Address: Ballinskeillig Bay, Great Skellig
