Sláinte! Here's How to Celebrate St. Paddy's Day in Ireland the Right Way

Hotels and hostels — especially in Ireland's bigger cities — fill up fast for St. Patrick's Day, so book as far in advance as you can. Cabs in Ireland only take cash, and some pubs have a card minimum, so you'll also want to visit an ATM before the big day to withdraw cash. And as is the case with any crowded area, pickpocketing is common, so leave your valuables at home if you can.
