Activities

The Botanic Gardens Park, located between The Queen's University and Ulster Museum, features the Palm House and Tropical Ravine. Established in 1828, the gardens have been opened to the public since 1895. On the north coast is the geological phenomenon of the Giant's Causeway, where a volcanic eruption 60 million years ago formed columns of layered basalt. Ancient legend suggests this was the work of the giant Finn McCool, the Ulster warrior and commander of the king of Ireland's armies.

Currency

The Euro is the only currency that is recognised as legal tender in the Republic of Ireland. On occasion shop-staff and hotels may accept sterling (GBP), however, this is not always the case. Many stores and restaurants also accept major credit cards, which usually offer you a good exchange rate.
