Why Dublin?
Dublin does a lot in a day: Trinity College and the Book of Kells, the Georgian squares, a Guinness at the Storehouse or a proper session pub in the evening. The compact centre means no transport needed once you're in.
To and from Dublin
There's no rail link, so it's coaches all the way — frequent and quick outside rush hour, but pad your return to the airport at peak times.
