Northern Ireland uses miles per hour, while the Republic of Ireland uses kilometers for signage and speed limits.

Language

Bring a sweater, even in summer; waterproofs to accompany all outdoor activities; sunglasses; comfortable walking shoes and an umbrella. The weather is changeable so go for layers that you can put on or take off as the temperature changes.
