Ireland packing essentials

Ireland's weather can give you all four seasons in a single afternoon. The golden rule: always pack a waterproof jacket and layers, even in July. Merino wool is a traveller favourite — it regulates temperature and dries quickly. For detailed advice see our Dublin weather & packing guide.

What NOT to overpack

Leave the umbrella at home — it's useless in Atlantic gales (use your hood). You don't need much formal wear; Irish pubs and restaurants are relaxed. Skip heavy sunscreen (you'll need SPF 30 at most in summer).
