Quickest way between Kerry and Clare.

by pfsmalo

An enjoyable way to get from West Kerry up to Couny Clare, instead of taking the route all the way up into the traffic of Limerick, is to go to Tarbert and take the ferry across.to Killimer. My part of the trip from Ballybunion to Ennis saved 40 kms. Only takes about 20 mins to get across and I am sure the views of the Shannon are nicer than the suburbs of Limerick and without the inherent traffic problems.Price was 18€ for the vehicle including all passengers, but can be had for cheaper by booking online.

Renting a car - Automatic for the first timer

by RickinDutch

I've driven in Ireland over several multi week trips. I am a Yank with lots of manual transmission experience but what I would advise from my own experience is to get an automatic transmission your first time out. Trying to shift with your left hand and adjust to looking the correct direction at roundabouts and turning into the correct lane and keeping it all straight in your head is a little much. First trip to Ireland, I went back the next day and switched out to an automatic at Shannon. Big jump in cost but offset by a much more enjoyable drive.The only other observation I have is that by the end of your week of driving, you'll be fine to drive wherever you want in Ireland.

From Dublin airport to Belfast by bus

by MalenaN

For me it was much cheaper to fly in to Dublin than to Belfast and as there is a bus from Dublin airport to Belfast that was a good option for me. Goldline service 200 runs every hour (almost) between Dublin and Belfast. The buses leave 20 minutes past every hour from Dublin Airport and leave Belfast on the hour.My flight was supposed to land at 11.20 so I hoped to catch the 12.20 bus. To my luck the plane landed almost 25 minutes too early so I could take the 11.20 bus. The bus stop is Stop 8 Atrium Road and it is only a few minutes away from the arrival hall. Just follow the signs from the arrival hall and turn right as you leave, cross the road, walk through a building and you will have the bus stop on your left. Tickets can be bought from a machine at the bus stop, but can also be bought on board the bus. I bought a return ticket for 20 Euro (February 2011) and they are valid for one...

AirLink

by MalenaN

To and from the airport it is very convenient to use AirLink buses. When you go out of the arrival hall take the left exit and you will see the green double decker just outside. It takes about 30 - 35 minutes to the central bus station of Dublin, Busaras, which is the end stop. From the same spot you can take the bus back to the airport. The ticket is 6 Euro (February/March 2007).

Bus to Croke Park

by gomexico

The taxi is an easy trip. Quick. Simple. The hotel is located between the city centre and the airport. I stayed in a different hotel just last week, close by and I attended a couple of matches at Croke. If you're a traveler who likes public transport and to save maybe 30 Euro, the city bus is an option - as indicated above. Either the #41 or #16A will get you close. I've gotten off the bus at the Drumcondra DART/Rail station. Bus fare depends upon distance traveled; zones. It's an exact fare system, no change is given. Enjoy the trip.

Sightseeing tour by car. FANTASTIC!!

by petethetraveller

Hi All, Long time reader, first time poster. Love the forum and always check here for tips when using a new service, especially on travel. It is a great resource. I wanted to share my experience of a recent dealing with a company specialising in travel and chauffeured services. As I say first post for me, but I was so delighted with them I wanted to share it! I had a key client of my company coming to visit our Dublin offices recently, and being Irish-American they wanted to see some of the sites while here. The guy was travelling with his wife and kids, and wanted to see an ancestral home, and some other stuff like Glendalough, Powerscourt etc. Normal tourist stuff, but quite spread out and they only really had a limited window to do it. I was asked to pull together an itinerary for this family, to follow on from our meetings and to be honest I was struggling. They didn’t want to drive,...

SailRail tickets from Dublin to London

by ManInSeat61

You can buy a 'SailRail' combined ferry & train ticket from Dublin Ferryport to London or ANY train station in Britain (York, Bath, Cambridge, Oxford, Edinburgh, wherever) for just 40 euros, any time, any day, one price covers both the ferry AND the connecting trains.Book it online at www.irishferries.com.Tickets can be collected at Dublin Ferryport.The price is fixed: It's 40 euros even if you need to travel tomorrow! Dublin-London 40 euros, Dublin-York 40 euros, Dublin-Edinburgh 40 euros, an amazing bargain. Recommended service leaves Dublin Ferryport 08:05, arrives London around 17:38 after a relaxing and scenic crossing of the Irish sea by cruise ferry, and a trip along the north Wales coast by air-conditioned inter-city train to central London.It's 6 euros extra if you use their Swift fast ferry rather than the excellent cruise ferry 'Ulysses'.Tip: For 18 euros more you can use the...

The Hop On Hop Off Buses in Dublin

by msaardvark

The absolute best way to tour Dublin is to use what they call "The Hop On and Hop Off Bus". Essentially, these buses are run by a couple of different companies but really do the same tour. A ticket is purchased for a 24 hour period and you can get off and on as many times as you want. The tour takes you to about 15 of Dublin's most popular tourist sites and if you like one you can exit the bus and then get back on when you're ready. If you have only a short time in Dublin this will give you a good overview. If your stay is more than a few days you can return to one of the stops for a lengthy visit.These buses are double decker and the best view is from the top level but bring a sweater because you are basically sitting outside, it can be cold up there. You can make reservations ahead of time but unless you're traveling at the very peak of tourist season I don't think it's really...

Local bus from airport to Temple Bar & Dublin city

by tekiegirl

The airport bus (Airlink), which will take you from Dublin International Airport into the city centre, costs €6 (Jul 2008 price), but if you want to go to Temple Bar, or other places on the route, you can get the local bus (16A) and pay €1.90 (Jul 2008 price) for the 40-60 minute ride.Route information and times for the 16A can be found here: http://www.dublinbus.ie/your_journey/viewer.asp?route=16aYou can search for bus routes via the same website: http://www.dublinbus.ie/home/You can also buy tickets online.NOTE: You will need exact change to buy tickets on the local Dublin buses, or you can buy from ticket machines located at some stops, including the airport, with coins or €5 notes (it doesn't accept larger notes), and get change.

A driving tour from Dublin to South and West

by scanos

See my web site for maps for places listed My recommendation is not to hire a car from Dublin because it is a very difficult city to navigate and find parking spaces. Instead, I would use public transport to get to Dublin and pick up car in Cork or Kilkenny. The latter is a wonderful place and accessible by train or bus. There are cheap flights to Cork again from where you could pick up a car. From Kilkenny you could follow this itinerary- day 2 Kilkenny - South through Tipperary - stop Rock of Cashel and Cahir Castle Overnight any B&B in North Cork- day 3 Clonakilty West Cork (same if you were coming from Cork) Glengariff, Kenmare / Killarney lakes overnight Killarney- day 4 Clare and Burren overnight Clifden or Oughterard in Galway- day 5 - Connemara . Achill Island overnight Westport Westport return car train to Dublin This will still leave one rest day
