Local Information

Directions from/to Dublin Airport

The airport is located 10 km north of Dublin city. On arrival we recommend taking a bus called the Aircoach. This bus departs from right outside the airport terminal - when you exit the airport building, the bus stop is immediately on your left. The bus is non-stop to O' Connell Street (city centre north) and thereafter stops at Grafton Street / Trinity College (city centre south). Grafton Street is the Aircoach bus station closest to the conference hotel (see map). The cost is €7 one way, €12 return.

Another possibility is taking the Dublin Bus Airlink Service, which offers a non-stop connection from the Airport to O' Connell Street (see map). Here you can change for Aungier street (close to the conference hotel, bus stop 16, 16A, 19, 19A). We recommend to buy a one day rambler ticket (€6) at the tourist information desk in the airport arrival hall - this way you can use Dublin buses the whole day. To get to the Airlink bus stop exit the airport building, cross the road at the traffic light, and the bus stop is on your left.

You can also take a taxi from the airport. From the airport to a city centre Hotel the fare will be roughly about €30 (this is a guess).
