Dublin Packing List Tips by orlikins

The basics Rain and wind gear Review

Luggage and bags: US Tourists take note: NOBODY IN IRELAND WEARS FANNY PACKS/BUMBAGS, they make you stick out as a tourist. Same applies to aran jumpers, baseball caps, college jerseys and older American guys with jeans. I'm only telling you for your own good. There is nothing wrong with being a tourist but there is plenty wrong with getting mugged because you attracted the wrong kind of attention.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: An umbrella would be useful, but you'd probably lose it! :) A good warm jacket will see you through.

It will always threaten to rain or just rain, so layering your clothes (vest/t-shirt/jumper/hoody/coat) is the way to go - only tourists wear those special rain jackets.

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: You can get these in local supermarkets like Tesco, Dunnes Stores or Roches Stores or in Boots Chemists which have branches in Dublin city cente and all over Ireland

Photo Equipment: Boots Chemist for rolls of film. There is a camera store on Grafton St, on the Stephens Green end if you need more high-spec gear. Plenty of internet cafes and chemists will let you upload your digital camera shots too.
