Money The local currency is the Barbados dollar, but US dollars are often accepted too. The exchange rate is pegged with one US dollar always equal to just under two Barbados dollars. Credit cards are widely used.
Shopping Rum, crafts, art and beach clothes are popular buys, but don’t get too excited.
Driving If you hire a car, you’ll have to buy a Barbados driving permit for US$5, which is available through the rental company. Driving is on the left (more or less).
Electricity The local current is 110 volts with flat-pin plugs so UK appliances will need an adapter.
Clothes Smart casual rules. Beachwear is for the beach.
Some of the content of the magazine refers to flights or prices from the UK. At Travel Counsellors Ireland we can source flights from Ireland and provide full quotes in Euros. Please call me for latest availability and prices.
