Packing tips for Ireland

The weather can be unpredictable, so pack lots of layers. I would also recommend some sturdy shoes if you plan on going to castles or anything like that.

I definitely echo the lots of layers idea. Definitely get a scarf/wrap (I have the Vinyasa scarf from lululemon from like, 10 years ago, and it's my favorite thing for travel because it's so versatile.) I wouldn't recommend clunky rainboots like Hunters. They're too uncomfortable for walking days. I'd go for a pair of waterproof booties. My go-to are Blondos. They're super chic and go with everything.

Thanks for the tips! I'll have to check out the Blondos.

I've never been and have no real advice but I can tell my sister is there right now with her family and they are loving it! I'm stuck here watering her flowers! Lol

I just got back from a trip to Ireland. PACK WARM RAIN GEAR. ... not “cute” outfits and hope it’s warm. I mean pack for the next season. We went in June and it felt like October in Pennsylvania. Also you’ll probably do a lot of walking so make sure those duck boots or rain boots are worn in before you go or your tootsies are gonna be hurting. I highly recommend scarfs and hats too! Also a backpack. I got a cute purse backpack and it was a life saver between stuffing an umbrella and a light raincoat and my wallet it made for running around the city so easy.

I spent a summer in Ireland in college for a study abroad and I can second what everyone else is saying. LAYERS! They will be your best friend. Definitely pack warm stuff and rain gear. I wore like a shirt and cardigan every day and that was July. But it's so worth it. Have the best time!

Make sure y’all get charging adapters since they have different outlets over there! Amazon has the

I lived in Ireland for a a summer and girl it IS cold sometimes, especially if you’re cold natured! I was there in 2007 and they were having a “record breaking heatwave” and it was literally 85 degrees Fahrenheit at the highest. It rains basically every single day at some point. Don’t get me wrong it’s 100% gorgeous, just wet. So comfy rain boots, layers, and a rain jacket are the way to go!

Thank you! Those are great tips. I live in Mississippi, where I don't have to even think about pulling out a coat or hat until November so this will be interesting!
