One Day Only - Dublin, Ireland, Dublin, Ireland
No trip to Ireland is complete without visiting the vibrant capital, Dublin. The good news is that the city centre can be easily explored in a short amount of time because it is relatively small.
We have been living in Dublin for over a decade and these are our tips on how to make the most of your trip.
The most convenient way to get to Dublin is by air. Dublin Airport (DUB) is well connected with direct scheduled flights from many destinations in Europe, North America, the Middle East and Africa, with most flights operated by Irish airlines Aer Lingus and Ryanair.
There are no train or light-rail services from Dublin Airport but several bus services connect the airport with the city. Express buses (Aircoach and AirLink - routes 747 and 757) are the fastest, but the most expensive, and you can buy your ticket from the driver.
Four Bus Eireann (countrywide) services (2, 30, 32 and 33) also operate between Dublin Airport and Busaras - the central bus station in Dublin.
The cheapest bus connections are the Dublin Bus routes 16 and 41, but they can be slow. When paying the driver, make sure you have exact change (euro coins only). Or, you can buy the ticket at the ticket machine. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
