Frequently asked questions about unique stays in Ireland

  • Which airport should you arrive at in Ireland?

    It depends on your destination within Ireland. Dublin Airport (DUB) is the largest and serves most international flights, ideal if you're heading to Dublin or the east coast. Shannon Airport (SNN) is a good option for the west coast, particularly County Clare and Galway. Cork Airport (ORK) serves the south and is convenient for exploring counties Cork and Kerry.
  • What is generally accepted for payment in Ireland, cash or card?

    Cards are widely accepted throughout Ireland, even in smaller villages. While cash isn't essential, it's advisable to carry some for smaller purchases or in areas with limited card facilities, particularly in very rural locations.
  • How would you describe the safety of road conditions and driving habits in Ireland?

    Road conditions are generally good, though some smaller roads, particularly in rural areas, can be narrow and winding. Driving habits are similar to the UK, driving on the left. Be aware of narrow roads, roundabouts, and livestock on the roads, especially in rural areas. Take extra care in adverse weather conditions.
  • What steps should you take if your passport goes missing in Ireland?

    Immediately report the loss to the Garda Síochána (Irish police) and obtain a police report. Then, contact your embassy or consulate for assistance with obtaining an emergency travel document. Keep copies of your passport details and contact information separate from your original passport.
  • Where should you spend a week to experience the best of Ireland?

    A week allows for a good exploration of the country. A possible itinerary could combine Dublin for its city attractions with a journey along the Wild Atlantic Way, taking in Galway, the Cliffs of Moher, and the Dingle Peninsula. This combines city and coastal experiences.
  • Where should you spend a weekend in Ireland for the best experience?

    For a weekend, Dublin offers a good mix of history, culture, and nightlife. Alternatively, a weekend in Galway provides a charming city experience with easy access to Connemara's stunning scenery. Both offer plenty to see and do in a short time.
  • What festivals in Ireland are highly recommended for visitors?

    The Galway Arts Festival is a major summer event showcasing theatre, music, and visual arts. The St. Patrick's Day parades and celebrations are held across the country, but Dublin's is particularly renowned. The Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann, a traditional Irish music festival, is held in a different town each year and is a fantastic cultural experience.
  • Does Ireland have Uber or comparable ride-hailing services?

    While Uber isn't available in Ireland, Free Now and Bolt are popular ride-hailing apps offering similar services in many urban areas.
  • What’s the top spot in Ireland for favourable weather conditions?

    Ireland's weather is notoriously unpredictable. However, the south-west coast, particularly around County Kerry, tends to experience slightly milder and drier conditions than other parts of the country, though this is not guaranteed.
