Ireland is in Northern Europe, and its capital is Dublin. When preparing for a visit, it helps to start with these reliable reference points and check separately any practical details that may change.
01

Dublin as a point of reference

Dublin is the capital of Ireland and is in the province of Leinster. Its name in Irish is Baile Átha Cliath. These facts help locate the capital, but they are not enough to determine connections, journey times or services: check those details when planning your itinerary.

Two languages and the euro

The country’s recorded languages are English and Irish, and its currency is the euro (€). These are useful facts for initial decisions, though information about payments, transport and other services should be checked against current sources before you set off.
