Travel Information
With a wide choice of historic and scenic attractions, ancient castles, lively cities, quaint countryside villages and natural wonders like the Giant's Causeway, Northern Ireland's many charms will surely please adults and children alike.
For travel tips, city details, major attractions and points-of-interest, follow the links below.
GENERAL ITEMS OF INTEREST
 Currency Even though the United Kingdom is a member of the European Union (home of the Euro) Northern Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales all still use the Pound Sterling.
Note: Instead of traveling with your own country's currency and then paying the expensive cash conversion rates - to get the best exchange rate - we suggest you use an ATM for cash, and a credit card for purchases.

Electricity Northern Ireland runs on 230 volts AC (50 cycles).
Note that most modern laptop, cell phone and digital camera chargers are dual voltage and will work perfectly in England with just a simple adapter plug. Find electrical adapters, products and tips here!
Times to Travel
You will find that Northern Ireland's climate is much milder than expected (considering its location), as all of the British Isles are warmed some by the powerful Gulf Stream Current as it makes its way north through the waters of the North Atlantic Ocean from the Gulf of Mexico.
There certainly are exceptions, but in general terms winters are damp, mild and windy, and summers pleasant with frequent cloudy days. Precipitation is possible at most anytime, but Northen Ireland's reputation as a rainy destination is exaggerated.
Travelers seem to agree that April through September are the best months to visit.
