Getting there:

Note that in Belfast there are two airports:
International airport and City Airport 
both are connected by bus services to the Grand Central Station which is about 20 minutes walking distance.

If you arrive in Dublin, there are three bus services: Translink (arriving at Grand Central Station) and Dublin Express and Aircoach (arriving at Upper Queen's Street - 30 minutes walking distance).

On all buses it is possible to tap, pay with cards or with cash.   


Useful information:

  • EU citizens: remember to apply for the ETA 
  • Plugs: The United Kingdom uses Type G plugs and a standard voltage of 230V at 50Hz. If you need a converter, you can buy it at the airport or grocery shops (e.g. Centra, Tesco Express...)
  • Here a list of some useful apps (public transport/taxis)
  • Check the weather forecast (also the feels like temperature!)
