Question

Which is the best airport to fly into?

Answer

It depends! The two most popular airports are Dublin International Airport (DUB) in County Dublin and Shannon Airport (SNN) in County Clare. The Dublin Airport is a 3 hour drive while Shannon Airport is a 2 hour drive. There are also very convenient train routes from Dublin to Cork City if you would prefer to avoid a rental car. Shannon is close to Galway, the Ring of Kerry, and other beautifully rugged destinations. Dublin is the largest city with plenty of historical sites to explore.

Question

Do I need to rent a car?

Answer

No, but it is highly recommended because of the more country location of the resort. Ireland is generally very walkable. But if you would like to get a taxi or other rideshare, FreeNow is a very handy app to download. You can request cabs immediately or you can schedule ahead. For longer journeys, IrishRail.ie (trains) and BusEireann.ie (coach busses) are very reliable and cost effective options.
