You can use your UK license.

As for insurance it depends what you're doing. If you hire a car you'll get insurance. If you want to drive someone else's car you'll have to look at their insurance and if it doesn't allow other drivers you can get temporary cover from any insurance company - best thing to do would be to ask whoever you are visiting to sort it out for you.

Yes you can use your British driving licence. If you're only travelling for 3 weeks, you're likely to hire a car, in which case your car rental company will offer you insurance.
