Layers are key. Ireland’s weather is generally mild but can change quickly. We recommend: Comfortable walking shoes A light waterproof jacket or rain shell Layers (sweaters, light jackets) Casual daytime clothes and one nicer outfit for the vow renewal You don’t need heavy winter gear, but being prepared for occasional rain is important.
Jet lag is expected when traveling from the U.S. to Ireland, but it’s very manageable. What helps most: Try to stay awake until local bedtime on your first night Get sunlight exposure during the day Stay hydrated and eat light meals Avoid long naps (20–30 minutes max if needed) Move your body — walking helps a lot Most people feel significantly better within 1–3 days, and nearly fully adjusted by day 3–4. Planning light activities on arrival days helps ease the transition.
The dress code for the vow renewal will be elegant, comfortable, and weather-appropriate for a castle setting. Think: Semi-formal to cocktail attire Comfortable shoes (castle grounds and walking paths) Layers are encouraged due to changing weather More specific details will be shared closer to the event.

Not at all. The itinerary and Things To Do lists are suggestions, not requirements. Choose what works best for you — this trip is meant to be enjoyed at your own pace. Some of the best moments in Ireland come from wandering or relaxing rather than sticking to a schedule.
