TRAVEL INFO
While we THOROUGHLY encourage you to make the most out of your travels and spend as much time as you can exploring the island before or after our celebration- the closest airport to our wedding venue is Dublin. Please click here for more travel tips if you are spending extra time exploring!
Flying into Dublin
Dublin Airport (DUB) is a beautiful and very direct 1:10 minute drive to Virginia Park Lodge. If you choose to rent a car, here are directions on how to get to the venue!
Renting a car (for out of town guests)
If you find yourself brave enough to drive on the opposite side of the road and want to rent a vehicle for your trip, here are some tips from trusted drivers.
Get the tire insurance
Dont rent from Europcar
Make sure to specify you need an automatic car, since more cars default to manual in Ireland.
Maybe bring a iPhone car mount so you arent looking down at your phone while driving on the opposite side of the road
Get your passport ready
To enter Ireland your passport must be valid at least 6 months after your departure date.
** If you are traveling anywhere before or after, ensure you understand the passport requirements for each country.
Transportation to our Venue
We will be organizing a few shuttle buses that will head from Dublin on Thursday early afternoon, and head to Virginia Park Lodge for 3pm check in. There will be the same shuttle buses returning to Dublin on Saturday, leaving around 1230pm. More details on this to come once we understand how many guests might need transportation. This option would require guests to stay Thursday & Friday evening.
Transportation in & around Dublin
Great news! Uber and Lyft work for travelers in Ireland, simply utilize the "taxi" option on your app. Uber will covert to Euros automatically. This usually is an affordable option to get around. You can also go old-school and hail a taxi if you wish, but be prepared to pay with Euros, drivers get fussy when you hand them a credit card.
