Ireland

Language

  • The official languages of Ireland are Irish and English, with English being the most widely spoken. While Irish is taught in schools and used in some rural areas, English is the primary language for communication throughout the country. Learning a few basic Irish phrases, though, can be a fun way to engage with locals.

Time Zone

  • Ireland is 7 hours ahead of Salt Lake City (Mountain Time) during standard time. This may change slightly if daylight saving time is in effect.

Electricity

  • Ireland uses Type G outlets with a standard voltage of 230V. Make sure to bring an adapter if your electronics use a different plug type.

Climate

  • The climate in Ireland is mild but often unpredictable. For example, February tends to be cool with temperatures ranging from 39°F (4°C) to 46°F (8°C). It’s also quite rainy, so pack an umbrella and a waterproof jacket. Layers are key, as the weather can shift throughout the day.

Health

  • Medical insurance is recommended but not required for travel to Ireland. It’s a good idea to have travel insurance that covers health emergencies while abroad.

Currency

  • The official currency in Ireland is the Euro (€). The exchange rate fluctuates, but as of now, $1 USD is approximately equal to 0.94 Euros. Credit cards are widely accepted, but it's always good to have some cash on hand for smaller shops or rural areas.

Transportation

  • Ireland has an extensive public transportation network, including buses, trains, and trams in major cities like Dublin. Renting a car is common, especially if you plan to explore rural areas or the countryside. Be aware that in Ireland, cars drive on the left side of the road. A Leap Visitor Card is a good option for unlimited travel on Dublin’s buses, trams, and trains.

Safety

  • Ireland is generally a safe destination for travelers. However, like in any tourist-heavy area, be mindful of your belongings in crowded places like Dublin’s Temple Bar district. Pickpocketing can happen in busy areas, though it is not common. Avoid walking alone in unfamiliar areas at night.

Local Cuisine

  • Irish cuisine is hearty and comforting. Be sure to try traditional dishes such as Irish stew, soda bread, boxty (potato pancakes), and fish and chips. Don't forget to sample some Irish breakfast staples, including black pudding and sausages. You’ll also find plenty of pubs serving pints of Guinness or local craft beers.

Cultural Etiquette

  • Ireland is known for its friendly and welcoming people. It’s customary to greet people with a smile and a handshake. In pubs and restaurants, it’s polite to say “please” and “thank you” (or “slán” when saying goodbye). People tend to engage in small talk, so don’t be surprised by a friendly conversation with locals.

Tipping

  • Tipping in Ireland is not mandatory, but it’s appreciated for good service. In restaurants, it’s typical to leave a tip of around 10% to 15% of the bill if service is not included. For taxi drivers, rounding up the fare is customary.

Ireland

How do I get a visa to visit Ireland?

You can apply online for a visa through the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS). For short trips under 90 days, most travelers will need a Short-Stay “C” tourist visa. Visitors from the United States, Canada, and Australia do not need a visa for stays under three months but must have a valid passport. Check Visa requirements here.

Where can I eat traditional Irish food?

Traditional Irish cuisine can be found all across the island, from restaurants and pubs to food trucks and markets. Popular dishes to try include potato boxty, corned beef with cabbage, Irish stew, smoked fish, and the classic Ulster Fry breakfast. You can also enjoy seafood chowder along the coast, coddle in Dublin pubs, and black pudding in Cork. Fresh bread like the Waterford blaa and local oysters paired with a pint of Guinness are also must-tries.

What is the time difference in Ireland?

Ireland follows Greenwich Mean Time and is five hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time in the U.S. Daylight saving time runs from late March to late September. In summer, days are long with sunset close to midnight, while in winter it gets dark as early as 3 p.m.

How to avoid jet lag?

To reduce jet lag, stay hydrated, eat light meals, and get exposure to natural sunlight upon arrival. Try to adjust your sleep and meal schedule as quickly as possible to match local time.

What to expect for health needs and vaccination requirements?

No special vaccinations are required for entry. Ireland does not have malaria risk, though bees and wasps are common in rural and coastal areas. Food is generally mild, and vegetarian options are increasingly available, especially in larger cities. Those with seafood allergies should be cautious when dining along the coast.

Is the water safe to drink?

Tap water in Ireland is clean and safe to drink. Bottled water is also widely available if preferred.

Is Ireland safe?

Ireland is considered a very safe destination. Crime is uncommon, though travelers should still take basic precautions such as safeguarding valuables and avoiding poorly lit areas at night. Keeping copies of important documents and using hotel safes is recommended. Travel Insurance is also recommended. Purchase travel insurance here.

What's the weather like?

Ireland has a mild but highly unpredictable climate influenced by the Atlantic Ocean. Summers are cool, typically between 60° and 70°F, while winters rarely drop far below freezing. Rain is frequent, with some regions experiencing wet conditions most of the year. Long daylight hours occur in summer, while winter days are much shorter.

What to expect from cell phone usage and internet use?

Internet access is widely available in cities through hotels, cafés, and public spaces. Rural connectivity can vary. Mobile coverage is generally strong in populated areas but may be limited in remote regions.

What charging port do they use?

Ireland uses 220 volts with Type G plugs (three rectangular prongs). Travelers from the U.S. will need a plug adapter and possibly a voltage converter, depending on their devices.

What language do they speak?

Ireland has two official languages: English and Irish (Gaelic). English is spoken everywhere, while Irish is more commonly used in Gaeltacht regions such as parts of Donegal, Galway, and Kerry.

What currency do they use?

The official currency is the Euro. ATMs are widely available, and withdrawing cash upon arrival is often the easiest option. Euros are divided into 100 cents.

What is tipping like?

Tipping is appreciated but not always required. In restaurants, 10–15% is common in upscale settings, while rounding up or leaving small change is typical in casual spots. Small tips of 1–2 euros are customary for services like taxis or hotel staff.

What are some Iconic Landmarks?

Ireland is known for its dramatic landscapes and historic sites. Must-see locations include the Cliffs of Moher, the scenic Ring of Kerry, and the Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland. Historic castles such as Kilkenny Castle offer a glimpse into the past, while famous filming locations like Skellig Michael and the Dark Hedges add a cinematic touch.

All the details were taken care of. Our tour guide was personable, knows the history and all of the interesting facts, entertaining, and gracious. This is our first tour with Evolution35, but it won’t be our last. We are already planning our next trip to Italy with them.

Our Happy Clients

I was very pleased with the service that I received from evolution35 travel company. Our 9 day trip to Cancún was wonderful time in this beautiful country. The resorts that evolution35 chose for our stay were all wonderful! Evolution35 people was in constant communication with us via email and WhatsApp asking how the trip was going and if we had any concerns or requests and when I did have a request they responded immediately and took care of it. Everything including tours and transportation were taken care of for us so it was very relaxing knowing we did not have to think about anything except when and where we were going next. Evolution35 also worked hard to ensure that we have a wonderful time during our stay in Cancun an that we return home safe. We are planing a trip to Costa Rica with Evolution35 in October.

Our Happy Clients

The Paris 99 trip was great. We enjoyed the driving tour of Paris, although we did fall asleep a few times as we were tired from the overnight flight from SLC. Our guide, Pedro, provided excellent information on the history of Paris and the sites we saw. The tour of Versailles was excellent, but we do wish we could have spent a little more time there. The Eifel Tower was amazing but felt a little rushed. The dinner on the Seine was excellent. Thank you for a great trip.

We did the Costa Rica trip and it was incredible. Zipline, rainforest, boat rides, catamaran. It
was soooo much trip for the money. Loved the hotel Tabacón with the hot springs and the
Westin was also 5 star! You go from the Carribean side to the Pacific. It's the trip of a
lifetime. Well done evolution35

Our Happy Clients

Fantastic trip to Paris with Evolution 35. Between booking our trip and the time we left, we had lots of questions and they were always so quick to respond to our emails. It was so wonderful that they took care of many details of our trip for us, especially the first couple of days as we were getting oriented in a foreign place! Our tour guide was hilarious and knowledgeable. He helped us stay safe and have a lot of fun too! A great experience for us!

Our Happy Clients

Contacté con esta empresa gracias a una amiga. La relación calidad/precio me ha parecido
excelente. La atención durante la contratación del viaje fue muy buena y rápida.
Solucionaron todas nuestras dudas, que eran muchas, con paciencia y acierto. La propuesta
que finalmente contratamos ha sido ideal para una primera vez en Hawaii, nos ha permitido
vivir la tranquilidad de la isla y hacer rutas por los parques naturales. En la llegada a Maui no
reubicaron a un apartahotel mejor en una zona diferente a la inicial que resultó ser un gran
acierto, dado que íbamos en familia, y facilitó nuestra estancia. Si podemos volver en el
futuro para conocer las otras islas, seguro que repetimos con ellos. ¡Gracias!
