County Dublin Travel Forum

I'm trying to book a series of flights to get myself from Milwaukee to Yerevan, and I found some really great deals through Dublin, but what I'm wondering is if I get in to Dublin on an American/AerLingus code share flight from Chicago at 8:15am and have a flight out of Dublin to London at 10:55am on British Midland, is that at all realistic? Or am I going to miss my flight? Do those airlines work out of separate terminals? Thanks!

I'm arriving to Dublin on 6th Aug at 22:5o. I'm staying at Dublin City University. Is it a problem to get there that late? What bus should I take?

I am looking for a great bed and breakfast, that is pretty reasonable and has easy access to the city. Any suggestions? Thanks so much!

Hi!
I'll be in Ireland with my mom from July 8th.
We are going to Dublin first then we had planned to rent a car, travel to Killarney (we booked an apartment)and from there visit the region.
We've heard the scenery is great when you drive but then we found out we need to leave a deposit of more than 1000 euros to rent the car. I'm unsure, maybe we'll be ok travelling by train.
If we rent the car:
How long would it take us to get from Dublin to Killarney? are the roads ok?
Is it difficult to tour around the region without a car?
For example if we head to the Cliffs of Moher is there space to park?

Thanks in advance.

I'll be in Dublin for three days or so before doing some more traveling in ireland. My sister (21) and I (20) were hoping to find out about the Dublin nightlife...good bars and/or clubs. Thanks so much !! =)

Does anyone know how much it is to store a suitcase at the train station in Dublin for a day? Don't think it'll fit a locker.. so need to use the luggage storage facilities.

Thanks

My husband and I are heading to Ireland July 5th from Canada. We have 3 days on our own and land in Dublin. We are not big city people and are looking for suggestions where to stay to enjoy some local culture and history before we link up with a CIE Tour which visits Glendalough, Waterford, Blarney, Lakes of Killarney, Ring of Kerry, Cliffs of Moher and Galway, Connemara and Westport, and ends in Malahide. As we will be touring we would prefer a location where we could get some walking in, relax and access the DART as we have to meet our tour in Dublin on the 9th. Any recommendations for places to stay would be greatly appreciated.

i will start in september a new job in Dublin. I would like to stay the first months rather in a small flat or single room instead of renting already the "final" flat. Can anybody advice me how to find a room/small flat that can be rented on a monthly or weekly basis?
thanks

I'll be in Dublin from July 1-7. I'm thinking the weather will be in the mid-sixties. That's all I know. Any ideas if it's foggy, breezy, rainy, sunny etc? How about dressing comfortably to be out and about all day but still stylish?

Question, I have a 7 hour layover in Dublin on my way to Spain... Will this be enough time to do anything other than just sit in the airport?
Can I lock up my bags somewhere?
Can I see anything interesting or beautiful while there or is the time too little?

Thanks for the feedback!

How can I make the trip. BUS?

Some are interested in the dinner and entertainment in the evening. How much is the cost for the dinner and entertainment? How many vacancies do you have? Please reply. Thanks.

Hey everyone,

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good Pet shop (if it's in the city centre all the better). I´m looking to buy some fish for my new flat!

Thanks in advance for any info.

Hello,
We will be staying at Comfort Inn Granby Row (I was told the hotel was close to the city center - is this true?) and I would like to know what transportation options we have from the airport to the hotel and how long does it take to get to the hotel from the airport. We will be arriving around 10am in Dublin after a 9 hours flight and we really want to get to the hotel fast (most likely we will be tired after flying during the night hours), so we can rest a little before exploring the city at night for few hours.
Thank you!
Monica

Hello,

I'm off to Dublin on Thursday - and I'm looking for an Argentinian restaurant, if there's any. Possibly a "true" one.

Would anyone know where to find any? I can also consider heading out to one of the neighbouring villages, if necessary-

Thanks a million for any help

have just heard that I've got tickets to see Springsteen next weekend - can anyone help with advice on reasonable B&Bs close to RDS?

Arrive Dublin From Australia Wednesday 20th August'08, need good 3 star accommodation, hotel or B&B within walking distance of city centre for 2 nights.Any recommendations, need quiet room at night.

Appreciate names of rental car coys, need medium size car for 7 or 8 nights, pick up Dublin city, return to Dublin or Dublin Airport when we depart on 29th August.

Are there any accommodation groups who pre sell vouchers for accommodation at B&B or hotels / pubs for use as we drive around Ireland? Is this a good metod of obtaining accommodation?

Finally, what should we expect weather wise.

Appreciate all replies,
Mike
