Arriving at Dublin Airport
Located around 8 miles (13km) from the city centre, Dublin Airport is conveniently placed and has excellent onsite facilities. The two terminals are connected, and you can walk between them. Terminal 1 serves short-haul and domestic flights, while Terminal 2 serves mostly long-haul routes.
There’s Wi-Fi, ample car parking, airport lounges from €25 and a broad selection of shops and restaurants both in departures and before security. The airport also offers a fast-track service from €6 if you want to skip the queues at security.
Dublin Airport is within easy reach of the Irish capital. Several bus operators run services between the airport and the city, stopping at hotspots such as Temple Bar, St Stephen’s Green, the International Financial Services Centre and Lower Abbey Street.
Taxis from the airport are always on a meter and usually cost around €16-26, and several care hire companies can be found in the arrivals hall. Driving into the city, the fastest route is on the M50 (southbound) and then the N1.
For onward travel, there are national coach services connecting Dublin Airport with Cork, Belfast in Northern Ireland, Galway, Kilkenny and Limerick.
