As of January the time difference is that Delhi is 05:30 hours ahead of Ireland.

In Spring in Ireland due to daylight savings we jump forward an hour. India doesn’t have day light savings so when this happens the time difference changes to 04:30 hours ahead.

The currency in India is Indian Rupees. The current exchange rate as of January 2020 is:

€1 : ₹78

To get a live exchange rate we would recommend using XE Currency.

Banks in Ireland would have the most stable rates for exchanging currency.

We always recommend changing your money before you go to the airport. This reduces stress and any additional hassle.

Your local bank may not have Rupees in stock, they may have to order it or you might have to go to a larger branch.

India is a much more conservative society than Ireland. When travelling to another culture it is always important to respect traditions and cultural norms.

We would highly recommend that all people travelling ensure their shoulders and knees are covered at all time and where possible wearing long trousers.
