Dublin transportation

Just food for though: Looking up more info from Dublin including a few tourist made YouTube videos of their stay in Dublin, the place is crowded and could be challenging to get around. I guess we’d need to map out a bit more from what hotel we’d be staying at to where we want to visit. Or even getting to the location for a tour departure area.

1. You can’t tap contactless to pay

Yes, I know – it’s far from ideal, but you can’t just tap on/off when using buses, trains or the LUAS trams in Dublin. You’ll need coins for the bus (no notes) or you can buy a ticket for the LUAS or DART with cash or credit/debit card from one of the ticket machines.

2. The Dublin public transport cards are a time and money saver

There are cards for getting around Dublin that are both convenient and excellent value:

  • Visitor Leap Card: A travel card offering unlimited journeys for 24 hours (€8), 72 hours (€16), or 7 days (€32)
  • DoDublin Card: A €49 travel card covers 48 hours on the hop-on/hop-off bus and 72 hours of public transport

4. Getting from the airport to the city

As there is no tram or train connection, the best way to get from Dublin airport to the city centre is via the Dublin Express. You can book online and it takes around 30 minutes depending on traffic.
