What should you pack when visiting Dublin?

Here are a few of the most important items to bring to Ireland with you.  First off don’t forget your passport or if you live in the EU or UK your identification card-that’s the one thing you absolutely won’t get into Dublin without.  If applicable, another document you should bring with you is your student identification card.  Some attractions offer a discounted price for students. 

As for items, a good raincoat or rain resistant coat, good urban walking shoes, good shoes for hiking (if you plan to do any of the tours outside Dublin), long sleeve shirts and sweaters that you can layer, hat, gloves, and scarf.  Even if you are traveling to Dublin during the summer, pack some long sleeve shirts and a light jacket.  Outside of clothing, other items that you should bring include convertors for your electronics, fake sugar if you are into it (it’s rare in Ireland), cash, anything you will want for the plane ride, birth control (if applicable) and medications along with their packaging and pamphlets (if applicable).  

Basic vegan food is available in Dublin and Dublin has numerous small grocery stores. (See my previous post on vegan food)  Thus, you do not need to bring food with you.
