Getting To Dublin

Dublin, the capital of Ireland, is widely accesible through many international routes. The budget airline Ryan Air (http://www.ryanair.com) operates out of Dublin to many european destinations. Another local airline is Aerlingus (http://www.aerlingus.com/). More useful travel links below:

• Dublin airport (http://www.dublinairport.com/index.asp): useful details of all airlines that fly out of Dublin.
• Aircoach (http://www.aircoach.ie/) For 12 Euros, you can get a return ticket to Trinity College for the blue Aircoach, which is really the best way to get in - it stops just outside arrivals. A taxi into Trinity College should cost about 20 Euros.
