Getting around
For your three days based in Dublin, the Luas tram and Dublin Bus easily connect most central stops, while walking is best within the historic centre around Temple Bar and the markets. For Howth on Day 2, take the DART from Connolly or Tara Street stations to Howth, roughly 30 minutes each way, then walk the coastal trail on arrival. The Guinness Storehouse and cooking schools are reachable by Luas Red Line or a short taxi. Use Free Now, Bolt, or Uber for door-to-door trips, with fares around $1.5 per kilometre. Irish Rail covers longer journeys if you venture farther afield.
