Ireland is home to the breathtaking Cliffs of Moher, the legend of the Blarney Stone<\/a>, and beautiful rolling hills and greenery in the countryside. <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When you travel to Ireland, once on the Emerald Isle, you can learn how to properly pour a Guinness, visit the lively Temple Bar area, and meet extremely friendly locals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are traveling to Ireland, take a look at our guide below to get started with planning. Psst! <\/em>Get your travel journal<\/a> ready for this one, you\u2019re going to need it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ireland is #4 on our list of the 10 Best Countries To Visit in the World.<\/a> One minute you\u2019re in a city, laughing and listening to live music at a pub, and the next you’re enjoying the rich green hues of the Irish countryside. Ireland is an enriching experience for first timers<\/a> and veteran visitors alike. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

General Information<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Note: <\/strong>Ireland consists of the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Following the Anglo-Irish Treaty, the territory of Southern Ireland left the UK and became the Irish Free State, AKA the Republic of Ireland.

Health & Safety<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As of June 2021, the CDC recommends not to travel to Ireland, as COVID-19 cases are still very high. If you must travel to Ireland, be sure you are fully vaccinated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Find information regarding COVID-19 and Ireland here: https:\/\/ie.usembassy.gov\/covid-19-information\/ <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Follow the CDC guidelines for current travel advisories<\/a>, as well as the U.S. Embassy guidelines.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Typical Costs in Ireland<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As always, when dining out, you can expect to spend more. However, when you are dining a little more casually, expect to spend roughly 13 Euros on a meal. Breakfast is typically a little cheaper. We love Queen of Tarts in Dublin and The Front Door Pub in Galway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Food to Eat in Ireland<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Coddle<\/strong> is a dish that is often made to use up leftovers, and therefore without a specific recipe. It most commonly consists of layers of sliced sausages and rashers with chunky potatoes, sliced onion, salt, pepper, and herbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Colcannon<\/strong> is a traditional dish made of mashed potatoes with cabbage or kale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Black Pudding<\/a><\/strong> is a regional type of blood sausage originating in the United Kingdom and Ireland. This sausage is made from pork blood, with pork fat or beef suet, and a cereal such as oatmeal, oat groats, or barley groats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 A typical Irish Breakfast<\/strong> consists of lots of food:  Bacon, sausages, baked beans, eggs, mushrooms, grilled tomatoes, toast, butter, jam, tea, and a hash or a bubble and squeak. The inclusion of black pudding is what differentiates an English breakfast from an Irish breakfast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 A typical Irish stew <\/strong>consists of lamb or mutton, potatoes, onions, parsley, and sometimes carrots. There is no exact recipe!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Soda bread<\/a><\/strong> is a quick bread made with sodium bicarbonate(used as a leavening agent) instead of traditional yeast. Ingredients include flour, baking soda, salt, and buttermilk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Shepherd\u2019s Pie<\/strong> is a ground meat pie with a crust or topping of mashed potato. The ingredients include ground red meat cooked in a gravy or sauce with onions and a topping of mashed potato, but the dish has many variations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Barmbrack<\/strong> is a quick bread with added sultanas and raisins, most commonly eaten around Halloween in Ireland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Fish and Chips<\/strong> are a classic dish of the UK and Ireland, because of all the fresh fish! Battered fish and chips (known in many places as french fries), can be ordered in many restaurants for a sit down meal, as well as for takeaway in many places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Victoria Sponge Cake<\/strong> or Victorian Cake, is a two-layer sponge cake filled with a layer of jam and whipped cream. It can also be cut into small \u201csandwiches\u201d and called Victoria Sandwich. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drinks to Try in Ireland<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Guinness<\/a> –<\/strong> It\u2019s the land of the Irish! Of course, you need to have a Guinness! I would equate this to having a Miller Lite or a Yuengling in America, it\u2019s common to drink. However, this is a dark beer, and if you do not like dark beers and stouts, then maybe skip it. You can learn how to properly pour a Guinness at the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Irish coffee<\/a><\/strong> is made with brown sugar, whiskey, coffee, and fresh layered cream (not whipped cream).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Jameson Whiskey<\/strong> is another staple from the Emerald Isle. Another spot you can visit in Dublin is the Jameson Distillery. Also, check out Teeling Whiskey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Gin <\/strong>speaks for itself! Ireland has plenty of gin to try. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top Cities to Visit in Ireland<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Dublin<\/strong> is the capital of Ireland, and it\u2019s an exquisite combo of exciting city nightlife but charming small city cafe-vibes during the day. Stop by Queen of Tarts for coffee and treats and Temple Bar (this entire area) for pubs and live music. Visit St. Patrick\u2019s Cathedral,  Christ Church Cathedral(and the crypts!), rub Molly Pitcher\u2019s boobs (for good luck, of course!), the Guinness Storehouse, and do not miss Trinity College and the Book of Kells. Check out the best way to spend a weekend holiday in Dublin<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Galway<\/strong> brings more to the table than the lyrics of Ed Sheeran\u2019s hit song, \u201cGalway Girl\u201d. About a 3.5 hour train ride from Dublin, Galway is a smaller, more quaint city. When you arrive, stroll along The Long Walk, step into King\u2019s Head restaurant and pub, and be sure to stop in an authentic shop in The Claddagh area for a Claddagh ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Cork<\/strong> is Ireland\u2019s third-largest city and was once an island. Explore this city on foot and remember to check out St. Finn Barre’s Cathedral, the riverside quadrangle of University College, and the red and white Shandon Church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Killarney<\/strong> is Ireland\u2019s first national park, with 26,000 acres of woodlands, and lots of trails for you to wander along. Did we mention you can see castles in Ireland? Be sure to check out The Gap of Dunloe, Torc Waterfall, Ross Castle, and drive The Kerry Way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Limerick<\/strong> is more than just it\u2019s name! It\u2019s home to castles, gardens, and pubs too (of course!). Check out King John\u2019s Castle and the Terra Nova Fairy Garden when you visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Dingle<\/strong> sits on the Atlantic in the southwest corner of Ireland and looks out over Dingle Bay. Visit the Dingle Distillery, Gallarus Oratory, and Coumeenoole Beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Belfast <\/strong>is home to about 300,000 people, and has become a popular weekend spot. As in the other Irish cities, you can get around on foot, bus, taxi, and train. Check out the Crumlin Road Gaol, the Titanic Museum, Ulster Museum, St. George\u2019s Market, the Peace Wall, and the Cathedral Quarter. You\u2019ll enjoy getting to know this city\u2019s history by daytime, and a rich nightlife in the evenings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Get Around Ireland<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ireland has a fantastic bus system and train system. You can find busses to take you on longer trips, from city to city, or shorter busses that stop every 15 minutes or so. Book tickets early for cheaper rates when you can. Remember: You must press the button to signal to the bus driver that you want to stop and make your way to the door, otherwise, the driver will not stop! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bucket list Experiences in Ireland <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Cliffs of Moher<\/strong>: This should be your #1 item on your bucket list. The cliffs are an incredible experience – cultivating nature, serenity, and a sense of adventure all in one. As you walk along the Cliffs(hope there\u2019s no mud), you can walk as far out as you\u2019d like and you can walk away from any barriers or fences. Many spots do not have railings, which can be a little frightening. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Giant\u2019s Causeway and Game of Thrones Tours: <\/strong>Calling all Game of Thrones lovers! There are plenty of guided tours in the Giant\u2019s Causeway area that will visit all the spots and shooting locations of the beloved George R.R. Martin\u2019s creation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kiss the Blarney Stone:<\/strong> The legend of Blarney Stone is that if you kiss the stone, you are endowed with the gift of the gab (great eloquence or skill at flattery). Keep in mind you need to climb to the top of the castle and bend over backwards to kiss the stone, if you\u2019re up for the challenge! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
