London - Dublin - London

Post by brazilianGOONER »

fellas, how is travelling from london to dublin and vice-versa? is it fast, and are plane tickets expensive? i googled it and it seems that there are some train+ferry options for around 30 pounds, are they any good? what would you recommend for a poor third world tourist who want to quickly visit oirland?

i decided i'll have to check dublin out during my stay in september, even if only for a couple of days :barscarf: :barscarf: :barscarf: :barscarf:

Check out www.ryanair.com or www.airlingus.com for the cheapest flights they do deals from time to time so you can pick up flights for 1p +taxes sometimes....... Flights are normally an hour or so so quick really

the one thing i would say about dublin is that its beyond expensive.

i would say it borders on rip-off to extortionate. Trust me if you think London is expensive when you get here, it won't compare to Dublin.

if i would recommend then get a ryanair flight to shannon, one hour 10 min, then get a bus from there to galway, 2 hours and have a great time, galway is the best city in ireland for craic.

hmm, just googled it, seems pretty nice indeed!
Galway is nicknamed Ireland's Cultural Heart (Croí Cultúrtha na hÉireann) and is renowned for its vibrant lifestyle and numerous festivals, celebrations and events
:o :D
A 2008 poll ranked Galway as the 42nd best tourist destination in the world, or 14th in Europe
cheers rebel, will have to go there! :barscarf: :barscarf:

My local has just put their prices up to £2.80 a pint, a 30 yard walk to another pub though is £3.40 :?
