Generally, U.S. citizens do not need a visa for short visits to Ireland (less than 90 days) as tourists or for attending events like weddings. However, check the latest requirements with the nearest Irish embassy or consulate before your departure to ensure you have the necessary documentation.

You'll need a valid U.S. passport for your trip. Ensure it’s valid for at least six months beyond your planned departure date from Ireland.

Ireland's weather can be unpredictable. Pack layers, waterproof clothing, and comfortable shoes, especially if you plan to explore the countryside. Don't forget adaptors for electronic devices, as Ireland uses different plug sockets (Type G). Also, bring formal attire for the wedding and casual wear for other occasions.

Ireland uses the Euro (€). Notify your bank about your travel plans to avoid issues with card payments. While credit and debit cards are widely accepted, it’s a good idea to have some cash for smaller purchases and in case you visit places where cards might not be accepted.

Ireland has various transportation options. Renting a car gives you flexibility, but driving can be on the left side of the road, which might be unfamiliar. Public transportation like trains and buses are efficient for intercity travel. Taxis and rideshare apps are available in cities.

Ireland has stunning landscapes, historical sites, vibrant cities, and lively cultural experiences. Plan some extra time to explore attractions such as the Cliffs of Moher, Dublin's museums, the Ring of Kerry, or ancient castles scattered across the countryside. Remember, this is a guide and experiences may vary. Enjoy the wedding, soak in the Irish culture, and make unforgettable memories during your time in Ireland!
