How do I travel to the Northern Ireland?
Northern Ireland is easily accessible by air, sea, road and rail. With 3 airports, sea ports and a network of motorways, it has never been easier to get to Northern Ireland. What are you waiting for?
Read moreNorthern Ireland uses the pound sterling (£), the same currency in circulation in England, Scotland and Wales. This is different to the Euro which is used in the Republic of Ireland. Mastercard (Access) and Visa credit and debit cards, including contactless payments, are in general use.
Some large stores will accept Euro currency, however we recommend enquiring first to check if there will be a charge attached to this service and to confirm their exchange rate. Visitors are advised to plan ahead and bring sterling currency as smaller businesses may not except euro, or may not give optimal exchange rates. Foreign exchange is available in many stores across Northern Ireland, including shopping centres and department stores such as Marks & Spencer (Belfast). You can exchange euros for sterling in Post Offices and Banks, where you will find details of foreign exchange services and up-to-date rates.
Plan your trip for between April and October for the best weather, although it's worth noting that our winters don't get very cold and trips outside of these months will also be enjoyable (and quieter). Northern Ireland's climate is mild and temperate, with mild winters, little snow and warm summers. Check out the latest forecast on BBC Weather.
The weather in Northern Ireland is traditionally changeable. The temperature usually stays above freezing, so there is seldom snow or ice, but at all times of year it is advisable to be prepared for rain. Summer months sometimes see prolonged periods of sunshine. There are generally higher levels of ultraviolet (UV) rays between March and October, even on cool or cloudy days. Information on UV protection is available at www.careinthesun.org/sun-protection/skin-protection-from-uv-rays/
