Visiting Dublin

Getting around Dublin, parking, what to wear and tipping.

Dublin's centre is walkable and the bus, Luas tram and DART train all run on one TFI Leap Card, with a 90-minute fare that covers transfers between them. Driving in is the one thing to avoid: the centre is a maze of one-way streets with paid parking throughout.

In DublinWhat to expect
TFI 90-minute fareOne Leap Card fare covers 90 minutes of travel across Dublin city buses, the Luas, the DART and commuter rail inside Zone 1, including changes between them. It is €2.00, with an increase to €2.30 announced by the National Transport Authority, so check the current rate for your date
Fare capsLeap Card spending inside Zone 1 is capped automatically at €6.00 a day and €24.00 a week, Monday to Sunday, across bus, Luas, DART and commuter rail. Young adult and student caps are €3.00 and €12.00, and child caps €1.95 and €7.80
Leap Visitor CardA fixed-price version sold in 1-day, 3-day and 7-day lengths with unlimited travel on Dublin city buses, the Luas, the DART and commuter rail in the Dublin city zone. It is not accepted on Aircoach
Cash on the busDublin Bus takes cash but charges more than Leap and gives no change, so you need the exact fare. A Leap Card or the TFI Go app is cheaper on every journey
LuasTwo tram lines. The Red Line runs east to west through the city, and the Green Line north to south through St Stephen's Green and Trinity. They are separate lines that meet in the centre on foot
ParkingCentral Dublin is pay-and-display with multi-storey car parks and a maze of one-way streets. Parking costs more than a day's public transport, so most visitors leave the car at the accommodation or outside the centre
WalkingThe centre is compact and most activity meeting points around Temple Bar, Trinity, St Stephen's Green and O'Connell Street are within 20 minutes' walk of each other
TippingAround 10 to 15 per cent in restaurants if no service charge has been added. No tip is expected at a pub bar. Taxi fares are usually rounded up
CurrencyEuro. Cards and contactless are accepted almost everywhere, including on the Luas ticket machines

These are facts about Dublin, not about this activity's own meeting point.

Quick answers from ActivityRoam

Book of Kells, Dublin Castle and Christ Church Tour: the questions visitors ask most.

How do I get to Book of Kells, Dublin Castle and Christ Church Tour in Dublin?

Dublin's centre is walkable, and a TFI Leap Card covers the city bus, the Luas tram and the DART train on one fare, with 90 minutes of travel including changes between them. Check the exact meeting point on your Book of Kells, Dublin Castle and Christ Church Tour booking confirmation, because central Dublin addresses are close together and easy to confuse.

What is the cheapest way to get around Dublin?

Walk the centre, then use a TFI Leap Card. One 90-minute Leap fare covers Dublin city buses, the Luas, the DART and commuter rail inside Zone 1, including transfers, and your spending is capped automatically at €6.00 a day and €24.00 a week. Paying cash on the bus costs more and needs exact change, so Leap or the TFI Go app is always cheaper.

Should I buy a Leap Visitor Card for Dublin?

It depends how much you will travel. The Leap Visitor Card gives unlimited travel on Dublin city buses, the Luas, the DART and commuter rail for a fixed 1-day, 3-day or 7-day price. A standard Leap Card already caps you at €6.00 a day and €24.00 a week, so if you only make two or three journeys a day the cap may suit you better. Neither is valid on Aircoach.

Is there parking in Dublin for Book of Kells, Dublin Castle and Christ Church Tour?

Driving into central Dublin is the hard way to arrive. The centre is pay-and-display with multi-storey car parks and a tangle of one-way streets, and a day's parking costs more than a day's public transport. ActivityRoam has not checked parking at this activity's own meeting point, so plan on the Luas, the DART or a bus if you can.

Do I need to tip in Dublin?

Tipping in Dublin is around 10 to 15 per cent in a restaurant, as long as no service charge has already been added to the bill. No tip is expected when you order at the bar in a pub, which is where most of Dublin's drinking happens, and taxi fares are usually rounded up.

What is the quietest time to visit Dublin?
