Before you book
How long do you actually get in Dublin?
About 14.3 hours on the ground, measured from landing to the time you have to leave for the airport, not from take-off to touch-down. The airport is 10km from the centre, and that journey is counted twice.
How do you get from Dublin airport into town?
Airlink Express 30 min, €13 return A day ticket on local transport is Leap card day cap €6. Cheaper option: The €8 Leap Visitor Card covers the 16/41 airport bus and all city travel, but those take 50-70 min each way..
