Content: However, Northern Ireland is still a prevalent area that has influence over the affairs of both the UK and Europe as a whole. 6 Metric vs. Imperial measurements
Another important difference is that Northern Ireland, similar to America, uses the interesting imperial system. Specifically, all the road signs in Northern Ireland feature miles per hour instead of kilometers. Nowadays, it’s one of the only countries in the world to still hold on to the traditional method of measurement. The Republic of Ireland, on the other hand, uses the metric system of kilometers like the majority of the world. While the reasoning behind this is unclear, we can imagine that it could turn out to be quite inconvenient for the citizens to get used to the other system should they go to either side for a visit.

While Northern Ireland has given off the weaker impression on this list so far, there’s no doubt that it features some of the world’s most beautiful sight-seeing destinations. First up, it features the famous, rustic Dunlap Castle, a beautiful structure right on the drop-off to the sea. Secondly, it also has natural beauties such as the valleys known as the Glens of Antrim as well as the gorgeous and rugged Rathlin Island.
