Aiport to City Centre?

Driving by car could take you between 20 mins and 40 mins. Avoid rush hour 7.45 - 9.30am, when it could take you up to an hour in the worst case.

If you take a taxi they can make use of the bus lanes and i'd say they'd take an average of 20-30 mins to get you into the city centre.

I'd recommend taking the Aircoach (its about 7 euro) or if you're not in too much of a hurry, and don't have too much luggage - you can get the 16a bus from outside the arrivals level, this will bring you to O'Connell Street in the centre of the city (taking about 30 minutes), and then on further to the south side of the city also. They're pretty frequent, and a cheaper alternative at approx 2 euro. (Expect to pay at least 20 euro in a taxi!)

it is 10 km away from the airport. this could take 20 mins to an hour.

the best ways to get in dublin are:

* Aircoach express service (large blue bus) connects to the city center and many of Dublin's major hotels, most of which are on the south side of the city. Buses leave every 15 minutes and the journey time to the center is approximately 30 minutes. The cost is â‚¬7 single or â‚¬12 return. They also offer services to other destinations within Ireland including Cork and Belfast.
* Dublin Bus offer an express AirLink service (routes 747 and 748) every 10 minutes at peak times to the city center and bus station for â‚¬6 or â‚¬10 return. Some of these services now use the Dublin Port Tunnel to avoid the city traffic and can reach the city center in minutes. A one-day rambler ticket can also be purchased from the ticket machine or inside the airport (but not on the bus) that gives unlimited all day bus travel, also for â‚¬6. A pack of five one-day ramblers can be purchased for â‚¬17.30 inside the airport.
* Dublin Bus also offer substantially cheaper standard services to the center and further afield in the southern suburbs, but these are non-express and stop significantly more times going to and from the airport. Cost is â‚¬1.90 and buses run every 10-25 minutes depending on time of day. The 16A goes right through the city stopping off at O'Connell St. and continuing up George's St. The 41 takes a slightly more direct route, and finishes on Lower Abbey Street, between O'Connell St. and BusÃ¡ras (Central Bus Station). On a good day you can get into town in about 30 mins but during rush hour this journey can be over an hour. These may be worth getting if you are on a tight budget and they happen to be leaving shortly after you arrive. Both of these local bus services stop across from Drumcondra train station which is situated on the Dublin-Maynooth commuter line. Some of these trains will continue past Maynooth and serve stations as far as Longford. Note that these buses (as do all in Dublin) require exact change in coins to board. The ticket-machines near a few outdoor bus stops, including one at the airport, do not require exact change. Tickets can also be purchased at the newsagent inside the airport, which is on the same level as the buses.

A taxi to the city center should cost around â‚¬25-30 - as such it can be comparable/cheaper than the bus options if you are in a group of three or more (as well as a lot less hassle).

10 minutes but it'll probably end up being an hour.

10 minutes...no way. If ur going during rush hour your talking over an hour. Even in the dead of night it will take longer than 10 minutes. Id say an average time would be 30-45 minutes

elle.gunn

only about 10 minutes but depends on traffic and that
