Hi,

I would like to know how I can most easily get
from Dublin airport to a B & B or hotel in Dublin
without renting a car.

I have not determined yet where I will be staying.

Thanks!

There are several bus services from the Dublin Airport to the bus
terminal on the north side of the Liffey. If you fly Aer Lingus, there
is a discount off the Airlinks bus. There is also a slower service on a
Dublin City bus.

We stayed at the Harding Hotel which is south of the Liffey, on the edge
of Temple Bar and facing Christchurch Cathedral. They have a website:

Do not miss CEOL, the museum of Irish music and dance.

Restaurant's we enjoyed:

Bewley's Oriental Cafe on Grafton Street
Gallagher's Boxty House
Leo Burdock's Fish and Chips

I have a travelogue of our tour with Europe Through The Back Door at:

Airport Bus to city centre IR£3.50
| 746 | 747 | 748 |
Regular bus to city centre IR£1.15
The airport is served by a number of Dublin Bus routes
| 16 | 16A | 16C | 230 | 41 | 41B | 41C | 46X | 58X
http://www.dublinbus.ie/

There is a privately owned Airport bus called Aircoach you might like to
consider
http://www.aircoach.ie/
The fare on Aircoach is IR£4.00, and they visit a number of hotels on the
southside.

Taxi IR£10-15

Simplest: taxi. Being a motorist in Ireland, I'm a little out of touch with
prices. It might cost about IR£12 to be taken to the city centre.

Best: bus. Bus Atha Cliath will take you to the city centre for, I think,
IR£3. Aircoach costs IR£4, and does a circuit feeding a number of hotels.

Sorry, I never rent accommodation in my native city!

Try to be on the 'fast' one...The slower routes tend to take a really
long time with lot's of stops before they are in the city centre...

Sorry not been following the thread, so I don't know how appropriate this is
all I can tell you is last week I paid 20 punts to get from the airport to
dublin 2 region by taxi, and that was during rush hour.

Taxis are easily available outside the main entrance/exit of the airport

I highly recommend the bus. I lived in Dublin for 6 weeks and took the bus
many times. The Dublin bus system is very easy to navigate and they go just
about anywhere. I took the bus to the airport to fly back to the U.S. and
it was just as easy, even with all my luggage and 6 weeks worth of acquired
"stuff." The bus I was on had a huge luggage rack and was a little more
spacious than the other city buses that I'd been on. The taxis are great
too, but not worth the expense unless you carry a lot of luggage (more than
2 bags).

If you take the bus and you want to buy a ticket inside the bus (I don't
know
if you can buy a ticket somewhere else). You must have coins, paper
money is
not accepted by the driver)

Onno.

This is not quite true - you can pay with paper money but you will be
given a "change ticket" which you have to take to the main Dublin Bus
office on O'Connell Street with the original bus ticket, where they will
exchange it for real money (the reason for this convoluted system is so
that the bus drivers don't normally have to handle money -- coins drop
straight into a strongbox -- thus discouraging robberies).

Dublin Bus has a wide range of pre-purchasable tickets and passes which
you can buy from the O'Connell Street office or from a large number of
ticket agents such as newsagents' shops, etc., (you prove they're valid
by feeding them into the machine at the right of the entrance door,
which then beeps once at you if it's OK, or several times if there's a
problem). The passes I often use are "Dublin Ramblers" - a 1 day pass
costs IEP 3.50, 3 days costs IEP 6.50, and 5 days costs IEP 10. See
http://www.dublinbus.ie/ which has details of all these tickets.

I would definitely take a taxi.

Although buses might be more economical and the system might be great.
Trying to figure out when and where to get off, screwing around with baggage
etc -- I think you'll find the door to door service a taxi will offer big
piece of mind after a long plane ride.

P.S. Airport is not that far out of the Dublin area if I remember correctly.
I think it is about 20 minutes north of the city.
