Day trip planning tips
Dublin is perfectly placed for day trips: the Wicklow Mountains are 45 minutes away, Kilkenny under 90 minutes, and even the Cliffs of Moher are doable in a long day. For Belfast and Giant's Causeway (Northern Ireland), note you'll cross into the UK — bring your passport and some GBP.
Most popular destinations are served by organised coach tours departing from the city centre — convenient if you don't want to drive. Car hire opens up more flexibility, especially for the Wild Atlantic Way.
