Ireland is a dynamic, lively, modern country with a young population and a successful, technologically-orientated economy. Yet it remains a country where music, conversation, culture, traditions and time to relax, listen and make friends matters; a country with cultured, cosmopolitan cities and beautiful, unspoiled countryside and scenery.

It is a good idea to have onward travel to your accommmodation or institution arranged before departing for Ireland. You are advised to carry the address and phone number of your accommodation in your hand luggage to make it easier to ask for directions or to get a taxi. Most airports have taxis readily available outside the terminal or have an office that will book taxis. Taxis are normally the easiest and most direct way of getting from the airport, but can be more expensive than public transport. Ireland’s public transport network is efficient and buses and trains depart from all main airports. It is best to research the best mode of transport and book tickets before departing for Ireland.
