Travel Ireland by bus

Ireland has a good bus network with every region well served. Busaras in Dublin is the central bus station for the Republic of Ireland while the Europa Buscentre in Belfast lies at the heart of Northern Ireland's bus network.

All major towns in Ireland have a main bus station. This allows you to travel to the surrounding smaller towns and villages and in some cases the more isolated spots of Ireland.

For more information on traveling Ireland by bus see Bus Eireann

 

Travel Ireland by rail

Ireland's rail tracks extend to every region of the island. Dublin has two central stations; Heuston Station serves the south and west regions while Connolly Station serves the north and north west of Ireland. Great Victoria Street Station in Belfast is the central base of rail travel in Northern Ireland.

Not every county of Ireland is linked to the rail network but in most cases it is straightforward to get a connecting bus to your destination.

Travel Ireland using internal flights

Due to its regional airports, Ireland can offer internal air routes to get you from one end of Ireland to the other. Although it is not the cheapest form of transport, it is ideal if you are restricted for time and want to see as much of the island as possible.

You can take a domestic flight from Dublin to Knock Airport (Co. Mayo), Galway Airport, Shannon Airport, Kerry Airport and Cork Airport. The Irish airline company Aer Arann operates these flights on a daily schedule. They also offer a summer service from Galway Airport to the Aran Islands.

You can use the air routes from Dublin to Sligo Airport and Donegal Airport to travel to the north west region of Ireland. These are also operated by Aer Arann.

If you wish to travel to Northern Ireland, Aer Arann offer a flight from Cork to Belfast City Airport.
