Your Inroads Ireland tour begins on Monday with checking in to your Dublin hotel. You will receive an email with the hotel’s details. We will work with the hotel to allow an early check-in. If that’s not possible, you can leave your bags at the front desk and return in the afternoon to check-in. The rest of the day is yours to enjoy.

The Euro (€) is the official currency of the Republic of Ireland. In Northern Ireland (U.K.), the British Sterling Pound (£) is the official currency. U.S. dollars are not accepted. We recommend obtaining about €100 in cash (denominations of 20s or smaller) from your home bank prior to your arrival in Ireland. You can then take out more money from an ATM as needed during your trip.

When traveling in Ireland, one strategy is to use cash for smaller purchases and your credit card elsewhere. If you want more tips regarding ATMs, credit cards, and more, check out our Ireland Travel Tips & Packing Guide page.
