Currencies

North­ern Ire­land is leg­isla­tive­ly part of the U.K. and ster­ling is the cur­ren­cy. How­ev­er the Repub­lic of Ire­land (Ire­land) is part of the EU and the euro is the cur­ren­cy.

If you are trav­el­ling through Ire­land you will need some euros. If in the North only you will need ster­ling.

I do find some­thing like a Mon­zo card that allows me to pay in either cur­ren­cy with­out exchange penal­ties to be very use­ful and ease stress. There are a num­ber on the mar­ket to choose from. Deb­it and cred­it cards are wide­ly accept­ed but I do find a small amount of cash to be use­ful too.
