But before you land in Ireland, there are a handful of tips that you must understand, in order to make the most out of this trip.

Let’s dig in.

Be ready for the unpredictable weather

Ireland’s weather is very unpredictable. Although it is mostly famous for its damp weather, it can change within seconds.

From being super sunny one moment, to being windy the very next; Ireland will give you the best of all weathers. Thus, when you pack your bags, you need to make sure that you are packing everything. Keep a jacket, raincoat and even a sweater along. And at the same time, keep your tee’s too.

Don’t forget travel insurance

The pandemic has highlighted the importance of insurance. The times are growing massively uncertain and everyone must have travel insurance. Although the best part about Ireland is that it is very safe for travelers; it is always better to be safe, rather than being sorry.

A weeklong stay is perfect

Never plan a 3 day trip to Ireland. We suggest you stay for at least 7 days, i.e an entire week. Most of the tourists stay for 7 days. Although you won’t get bored in Ireland, even when you stay for a month. But this is the perfect duration to enjoy and have fun and not lose the spark either.

Explore areas outside of Dublin, too

Dublin is definitely one of the best places in Ireland but stepping outside of it might be a great idea too. A lot of tourists spend most of their time within Dublin. And although we cannot deny that it is a perfect spot; exploring the other towns and villages is going to be worth it.

And not to forget, Dublin is more expensive than other Ireland cities too.

Do not miss the Cliffs of Moher

Cliffs of Moher is an extremely popular attraction and you must visit it while you are in ireland. But a huge crowd visits this place. Thus, you want to make sure that you walk in early. Arrive before 8am, so that you can enjoy the spot before people start pooling in.
