You should budget between $25 and $35 / day for meals (lunch and dinner). In addition, you will need spending money for laundry, emergencies, some local transportation, and other incidentals while you are in Ireland. Of course, some people spend more and some people spend less. You should do some research on your own about costs, and think about how you usually spend money when you are traveling and create a realistic budget for yourself.

ATM cards require a 4 digit pin—be sure you have one before you leave. MasterCard and Visa are widely accepted in Argentina and will also give you the best exchange rate. Travelers checks such as American Express and Thomas Cook will be accepted at banks and currency exchanges but may require that you pay a commission fee. Don’t rely solely on one method of getting money; have a back up.
