Money Matters
|
| The currency in Ireland is the euro, formerly the Irish pound. Check current exchange rates before traveling. Visa, Mastercard and American Express credit cards, and travelers checks are widely accepted throughout the country, however cash is always easier outside the large cities, so plan accordingly.
Currency exchange agents are located in the major cities and tourist areas (American Express, Thomas Cook). ATM machines are located at all major banks, but may be limited to bank hours and possibly closed on weekends.
As always, be careful not to carry too much cash and keep your money in a safe place at all times.
Before you go, it's a good idea to write down the customer service phone numbers and actual card numbers of your credit cards, passport, other ID, and bank cards- in the case of theft this will come in handy.

Electricity
|
| Electricity in Ireland is 220 volts, 50 cycle AC, as compared to 110 volts, 60 cycle AC in the U.S. When taking along electrical appliances, a converter and a plug adapter are needed to operate them.

Packing Tips
|
| Warmest in July and August, traveling to Ireland over the summertime requires light layers, while winter can get quite cold. June and September, although not as warm as the midst of the summer, are considered by many to be most pleasant months to visit in terms of both temperature and precipitation, or lack thereof. Appropriate gear for outdoor adventures such as hiking, canoeing and cycling are recommended.
