Our expert advice for planning your trip
- Transport Public transportation is generally efficient, especially in major cities like Dublin and Cork. Renting a car is recommended for exploring rural areas. Be mindful that driving is on the left side, which might be confusing for some travelers.
- Language Although English is predominant, Irish (Gaelic) is also an official language. You'll see signs in both languages, and it can be delightful to learn a few Irish words.
- Culture and Tradition Hospitality is a key part of the culture. The Irish are renowned for their friendliness and warmth. Attending a traditional music session in a pub is a must-do experience.
- Currency The official currency is the euro. Credit card payments are widely accepted, but it's advisable to have some cash for small purchases in rural areas.
- Weather The weather is often unpredictable, with frequent rain showers. Always carry a raincoat or umbrella, even in summer.
- Food The local cuisine is rich and varied. Be sure to try an Irish stew or fresh seafood dishes along the coast.
- Weather-resistant outdoor clothing, including a rain cover for your backpack
- Hiking boots and a day backpack prepared with essentials
- Power adapter for electrical outlets
- A map of Ireland or GPS for navigation ease
- Warm clothing, even in summer, as the weather can be cool and windy
- Skincare products suitable for humid climates
- Tourist guides for must-see sites
- Motion sickness pills or remedies if planning long bus rides
The best time to visit Ireland is generally from May to September, when the weather is milder and the days are longer.
