We have a very short layover at Dublin airport...arrive at 8 am and get back on a plane at 16:00...does the DART leave from the airport? Or is a taxi a better option? Is the castle worth the effort? How about the town? For just the smallest taste of Ireland?
DART does not serve the airport, so public transportation into Dublin and other towns nearby is by taxi or a variety of scheduled bus services. You can use the Search box above to find recent threads on the topic of "Dublin layover," which discuss similar timing issues.
Love the town of Malahide. My husband & stay there the night before any of our flights out of Dublin. I think it is about 10 - 20 euros for the taxi.
