Getting around
In Dublin, walk between Trinity College, Temple Bar's traditional food market, and the street food stops in the historic centre; the Guinness Storehouse is a short Luas ride or a 25-minute walk. For Day 2 and Day 5, drive or take Irish Rail from Dublin's Connolly or Heuston stations to reach Newgrange and Cashel, with roughly 1.5 to 2 hour journeys each way. Days 3 and 4 require a rental car to reach Killarney, the Cliffs of Moher, and the Dingle Peninsula, about a 3.5 hour drive from Dublin. Use Free Now, Bolt, or Uber for short hops at around $1.5 per kilometer, and take the DART for coastal stretches.
