Train
The Dublin Area Rapid Transport (DART; 01-836 6222; www.irishrail.ie ) provides quick train access to the coast
as far north as Howth (about 30 minutes) and as far south as Greystones in County Wicklow. Pearse Station is conveni-
ent for central Dublin south of the Liffey, and Connolly Station for north of the Liffey. There are services every 10 to 20
minutes, sometimes even more frequently, from around 6.30am to midnight Monday to Saturday. Services are less fre-
quent on Sunday. A one-way DART ticket from Dublin to Dun Laoghaire or Howth costs €2.80; to Bray it's €3.30.
There are also suburban rail services north as far as Dundalk, inland to Mullingar and south past Bray to Arklow.

Adult (Bus & Rail) Short Hop (one/three days €12/24.50) Valid for unlimited travel on Dublin Bus, DART and sub-

Tram
The Luas ( www.luas.ie ) light-rail system has two lines: the green line (running every five to 15 minutes) connects St
Stephen's Green with Sandyford in south Dublin via Ranelagh and Dundrum; the red line (every 20 minutes) runs from
Lower Abbey St to Tallaght via the north quays and Heuston Station. There are ticket machines at every stop or you can
buy a ticket from newsagents in the city centre; a typical short-hop fare (around four stops) is €2. Services run from
5.30am to 12.30am Monday to Friday, from 6.30am to 12.30am Saturday and from 7am to 11.30pm Sunday.
Bicycle
Despite the intermittent presence of rust-red cycle lanes throughout the city centre, getting around by bike can be
something of an obstacle course as cyclists have to share roads with buses and indifferent motorists. Bike theft is a ma-
jor problem, so be sure to park on busier streets, preferably at one of the myriad U-shaped parking bars, and lock it se-
curely. Never leave your bike on the street overnight or it may just be gone in the morning. Dublin City Cycling
( www.dublincitycycling.ie ) is an excellent online resource.
