Getting Around Dublin and its Surrounding Areas

Getting around the Dublin region can easily be done using the bus

, DART, hired car or taxi. The city is also easily traversed by bicycle for those who enjoy a more energetic approach to transport. Dublin airport is just 7 miles from the city. The best way from Dublin airport to the centre is probably by bus. . City buses are cheaper but take longer than the more direct shuttle buses. Taxis are the alternative. Buses and taxis can take anything between 30 and 50 minutes depending on the traffic.

Dublin's bus service really is one of the best in Europe. And the city has over 200 different routes and over 1000 buses servicing them. Dublin Bus operates the city's bus routes running from 06.00-23.30. A Nitelink late service also operates most nights of the week. Dublin Bus operates an exact fare policy, so it is advisable to have your correct change ready when boarding the bus. Buses run every day from 7.00am to 11.30pm with a reduced service on Sundays. A special "Nightlink" service operates additional buses outside of these hours from Monday to Saturday.Taxis in Dublin are, surprisingly and delightfully, cheap.

Countrywide rail service provided from Dublin to Belfast, Sligo, Ballina, Westport, Galway, Limerick, Ennis, Tralee, and Cork, Waterford and Rosslare Europort plus other stations in between. The two main stations where these are provided from in Dublin are Connolly and Heuston Stations.

The LUAS runs frequently and reliably, and is handy for getting around the city centre. The LUAS tram service has 2 lines which are fun to ride. The lines do not connect. The distance between Abbey St. on the red line and St Stephens Green that start of the green line is about 15 minutes' walking. The Luas is frequent and reliable. Tickets can be bought on the platforms, at the machines and do not need to be validated. A large amount of further expansion of this network is expected within the next decade.

Cycling is a recreation, a sport and a means of transport to get around Dublin City. Bicycles are commonly used by people seeking to improve their fitness and cardiovascular health. Cycling is also an inexpensive way to travel in Dublin City.

There's no doubt about it, walking is good for you. Whether you want to walk to improve your general health, to keep fit, to control your weight, or perhaps to recover from a period of ill-health, walking can help. If you walk just one mile a day you will burn at least 100 calories, and this could result in a loss of ten pounds in a year without changing your eating habits.

Dublin has a wide range of good quality restaurants, most of which are, however, horribly overpriced by European standards. There are many excellent value Indian restaurants around the South William Street area, parallel to Grafton St.

No visit to Dublin would be complete without a visit to one of its many pubs. Drink is relatively expensive: a pint of stout costs around 4.50 and up, while lager costs around 4.90 and up. Dublin is not well served for visitors who wish to camp in designated sites. The nearest to the city centre is located several kilometers to the south-west of the city
