Mr Biden was given a tour of Carlingford Castle alongside the Tánaiste (Irish Deputy Prime Minister) Micheál Martin.
Asked about his feelings on the visit, the president replied: “It’s wonderful. It feels like I’m coming home.”
Commenting on the wet weather, he added: “It’s fine – it’s Ireland.”
The US president greeted a crowd of about 5,000 people as he visited Dundalk, a town a few miles from the Irish border.
Mr Biden also made a visit to a cafe where he met staff before addressing an audience at the pub.
“When you’re here you wonder why anybody would want to leave,” he told them.
In the coming days, President Biden is expected to speak to politicians at the Oireachtas (Irish parliament) and meet more relatives in Ballina.
