Local Area Details

Dublin is the capital of Ireland and is a focus for the energy of a country redefining itself as a European nation. It is a cosmopolitan, young city, with more than 50% of its population of 1.5 million under 25 and the relative prosperity of many of them is making its impact on the every changing city. There is evidence of this prosperity everywhere in the emergence of new shops, bars, cafes and restaurants everywhere, bringing a buzz to the capital city by day and night.

Dublin is right on the East Coast and if you approach by ferry boat you will arrive either at Dun Laoire or at Dublin Ferry Port near the centre. If you fly into Dublin the airport is located north of the city along the MI (30 minutes drive) . The city is divided in two by the River Liffey giving us what is known as the North Side and the South Side.

The majority of the main attractions are south of the river, from Merrion Square and Fitzwilliam, the heart of Georgian Dublin, to St. Stephen's Green, Trinity College and the heart of the shopping areas around Grafton Street. North of the Liffey which is traversed by O'Connell Street is the General Post office, the Irish Writer's Museum and both the Gate and Abbey Theatres.

One of the nicest attractions of being in Dublin is the ability to 'get away' from the hustle and bustle in minutes. Jump on the DART train (Dublin's rapid rail system, which runs north to Howth and South to Wicklow along the coastline) in the city centre and you will be whisked along the coastline and away from the madding crowds. Enjoy a stroll on Sandymount Strand, or walk the pier at Dun Laoire, or have a swim in the Forty Foot near Sandycove. Walk Killiney beach, buy fresh fish at Howth harbour when the boats come in, or just sit and watch the sailing boats and activity on the water.

Inland are the Dublin Mountains, and wonderful forest and hill walks right into the Garden of Ireland, Co. Wicklow.

Transport:

It is customary to say that the way to get to know Dublin is to walk. This is a practical possibility given that the city is quite small and compact and most of the attractions, commercial and leisure areas are all within easy reach of each other.
The Dublin Luas tram system is a state-of-the-art Light Rail Transit (LRT) system. Luas connects you to Dublin city centre with high capacity, high frequency, high speed services. There are convenient stop locations and excellent levels of comfort and safety with easy acces at all stops. Click here for more info.

The city bus service is improving dramatically with the addition of bus corridors and is relatively cheap.

Taxis are easy to come by during the week, day or night, but can be difficult to rely on late at night in the city at weekends.

The DART, the Dublin Area Rapid Transport System, which links Howth to the north of the city with Greystones to the south in County Wicklow . The service is quick, clean and easy to use and is worth taking just to take in the coastline. Problem is it only serves one line and does not traverse the city.

Trains outbound to provincial areas, are relatively cheap from Heuston Station, on the West Side and Connolly Station which serves the North from the city centre. Tickets return to many of the other major cities are usually from £20 to £30 return.
