Dublin City Breaks

Dublin as a part of Ireland has the Euro as the only currency that is officialy recognised as legal tender in the Republic of Ireland. Each Euro has 100 cents.

Ireland (and Dublin too) is quite expensive country so if you are planning city break, you should have enough money. Our recommendation for 2-3 days break is at least 200 Euro per person (price for accommodation in Dublin not included).
