Getting
around
Dublin Bus
DART
Dublin has a
fairly good public
transport system
in the centre and
suburbs, which
operates from 6.00AM-11.30PM.
It is worthwhile to download the
Dublin Bus App, which helps
visitors plan journeys, with details
on real time travel information,
timetables & bus routes. Whilst
most city centre bus stops have
monitors to tell you when your
bus arrives, you can also check
www.dublinbus.ie/rtpi with your
bus stop number.
A local train
service operates
around Dublin
Bay (east coast)
extending from
Howth on the North side through
the City Centre right through
to Greystones in Co. Wicklow
(further afield than South County
Dublin) with various stops along
the way.

Luas
Taxi
Luas literally
translates to
speed in Irish;
although this is
not the first word
that comes to mind when using
Dublins tram system. Still, it
is an efficient and reliable way
to trundle from the city to the
suburbs.
Dublin Bikes
With bike pods
dotted around
the city, you can
enjoy a temporary
subscription to
Dublin Bikes for 5, with the first
half hour cycling free and the
remaining charged at a nominal
fee per hour.

Dublin
Somewhat reminiscent of a
secret garden and quieter than
St Stephens Green and Phoenix

a calm and serene oasis close

Places of
interest & history
From the crypt of Christchurch to the
nave of St Patricks Cathedral, there
is no shortage of interesting historic
landmarks in Dublin.
And its not all about history; the Guinness
Storehouse is an excellent experience to
enjoy, with some of the best views in Dublin,
whilst Trinity College is a visual wonder,
home to the famous Book of Kells and much
more beyond in the majestic grounds.
A walking tour
As Dublin is relatively small; a walking tour is probably the best way to
experience Dublin up close. Some of the better tour guides are, Pat
Liddy walking tours and Hidden History walking tours.
Christchurch
St Patricks Cathedral

Hidden History also operate the Ghost Bus, which takes the tours
along haunted places in Dublin, more comedic than scary but
they interlude with genuine history too and it stops along a famous
traditional pub called Gravediggers.
Guinness Tour
To note, it is a self-guided
multi-media tour with a strong
commercial element to it, but
there is a good view from the top
of the storehouse and, word has
it, the best pint of Guinness in
Dublin.
