What to expect when travelling to Ireland What to expect when travelling to Ireland

Whether you are an intern who’s going to spend a couple of weeks in Ireland or a first-time traveller looking to spend the holidays here, there are a few things you should expect when traveling to Ireland.

 Public transport costs

You better save sufficiently, because taking the train and/or bus every day will not be  cheap. Buy a TFI Leapcard is recommended. You can load travel credits onto this card at every Dart Station and then use the card to travel by bus or train. It is cheaper than getting a ticket every day or every week, but you still have to load up from €30 to €40 on your card every week if you will be travelling on a daily basis.

Politeness

The Irish are really polite and friendly. If you are going to spend your time around big cities like Dublin, you will probably accidentally bump against someone. Even if it was your fault, the typical Irish citizen will excuse themselves. You will hear “sorry” several times during your stay in Ireland. As well as that, when someone in Ireland greets you will they not only say “Hi” but they will also ask how you are. Responding to the Irish politeness with more politeness will assure you a great time in the country.

Irish Food

If you are a student staying in the country for an internship or any international exchange program, and you’re staying with a host family that prepares you your lunch and/or dinner, expect really large portions. Not only in host families, but also in Irish restaurants, they will serve large amounts of food. Another thing you need to note about restaurant food in Ireland, is that it might be more expensive than the typical food in your home country. That isn’t only because of the size of the food, but also because the Irish care about their food being regional and from local farmers, fishers, butchers, etc…which is better for your health and for your taste buds!

The weather

One thing that almost everyone knows about England is how bad the weather is. Sadly, it isn’t any different for Ireland. Just like our British neighbours, our weather changes a lot, from wind, to sun, to pouring rain, it’d be unwise to leave the house without an umbrella. The temperatures also stay fairly brisk during the summer, so always take a jumper with you, wherever you may be going.

 

We hope these tips could help you and happy stay in Ireland!
