About Dublin

Dublin is the thriving capital city of Ireland. The city covers a land area of 115 square kilometres. The city is sited on the estuary of the River Liffey. This river empties into Dublin Bay which opens onto the Irish Sea.To the south, Dublin is bordered by a low mountain range. The surrounding counties to the north and west of Dublin are surrounded by flat farmland. Dublin is noteworthy in terms of its vibrancy, its nightlife and its tourist attractions, and is the most popular entry point for international visitors to Ireland. With over 1.5 million people, the city has a full and varied cultural and intellectual life which brings together the best of traditional Ireland and of modern Europe. Famous for its literary and musical tradition, Dublin has been home to well known writers, playwrights, actors and musicians for many years.

Airport

Dublin is served by Dublin Airport approximately 10km north of the city. There are a number of bus services that come into Dublin, including the Aircoach service which runs 24 hours a day, the fare is €7. If you would prefer to take a taxi to the city centre the taxi fare will be approximately €25.

Bus

Busáras, serves the entire country and is next to Connolly train station, a 10 minute walk from O'Connell St. There is an extensive bus service run by Bus Eireann which covers destinations country wide, as well as Britain and Eurolines services to Continental Europe

Rail

Dublin has two main train stations. Heuston, in the west of the city centre, serves much of the west and south of the country including an hourly service to Cork. Connolly, in the north-east centre of the city, serves the south east and east coast, Belfast, Sligo in the north-west and suburban commuter services including the Dublin Area Rapid Transit (DART) system. The two main stations are connected by bus and Luas routes.

Trams

The Luas (a tram/light-rail system) runs frequently and reliably, and is handy for getting around the city centre. There are two lines - red (running from Connolly train station to the suburb of Tallaght) and green (running from St. Stephens Green to Sandyford).

Boat

Dublin Port has several passenger ferry services to Wales and England, but more popular is the suburban port of Dún Laoghaire 10km south of Dublin city. The port of Dún Laoghaire is serviced by the DART.

Taxis

Taxis were deregulated in 2001 and are easy to come by. They may be ordered by telephone, at taxi ranks, or just hailed on the street.
