Capital of Republic of Ireland (Dublin) - Part IV

This is the summary post of my Dublin, Ireland trip with some useful information. 

GENERAL

The Guinness Storehouse has retained the top spot for the third consecutive year in the listing of Ireland's top visitor attractions. The iconic Dublin attraction was closely followed by Dublin Zoo, while The National Gallery of Ireland continues its dominance of the free attractions in the capital. Dublin has a myriad of visitor attractions to suit all interests and we've compiled a list below of the top visited attractions in 2013. Have Fun!

Top 5 attractions in Dublin

- Trinity College (Book of Kells & Long Room)

- St. Patrick Cathedral 

CURRENCY
In the Republic of Ireland, the official currency is the euro '€'. While, in Northern Ireland, pound sterling '£' is the local currency.

ELECTRIC CURRENT VOLTAGE
The electrical supply in Ireland is 230v 50hz and three pin plugs are used. 

If the standard voltage in your country is in the range of 100V - 127V (as in the US, Canada and most South American countries), you need a power converter.
