The official currency of Ireland is the Euro (€). While the Euro is widely accepted, especially in tourist areas, many establishments also accept major currencies such as US Dollars (USD) and British Pounds (GBP). However, it's advisable to carry Euros for convenience, particularly when venturing into more rural or less touristy areas.
Ireland, like many modern societies, extensively uses credit and debit cards for transactions. Inform your bank about your travel plans to ensure seamless card usage abroad. Nevertheless, having about €200 to €300 in cash in your home currency can be beneficial, especially for small purchases or in case of emergencies.
95% of drinking water in Ireland comes from springs, so it is one of the cleanest and most delicious waters to drink. The tap water is free of chlorine, calcium, and nitrate, so be prepared to love this water!
Ireland boasts a reputation for being one of the safest and friendliest destinations globally. With low crime rates, travelers often feel secure exploring its cities, towns, and natural wonders. However, to ensure a worry-free experience, it's advisable to leave valuable items, important documents, and large sums of money secured at your accommodations when venturing out.
