Dublin City Bike Tours
You'll “get your craic on a saddle” with Dublin City Bike Tours as you pedal across this
flat city on innovative urban bikes. Their fun tours visit 20 points of interest north and
south of the River Liffey, covering more ground (five miles) than walking tours. Designed
for riders of average fitness, they set a casual pace, and rarely let a little rain stop them

By Bus (on Land and Water)
Hop-on, Hop-off Bus Tours
Two companies (Dublin Bus Tour and City Sightseeing Dublin) offer hop-on, hop-off bus
tours of Dublin, doing virtually identical 1.5-hour circuits. You can get on or off at your
choice of about 20 stops (€18, 4/ hour, daily 9:00-17:00—Dublin Bus Tour until 18:30,
buy ticket on board, valid for 2 days). Buses are double-deckers (roofless is fun on dry
days), with live running commentaries. Dublin Bus Tour (green buses) drivers provide
fun and quirky narration (tel. 01/703-3028, www.dublinsightseeing.ie ) . City Sightseeing
Dublin (red buses) come with both a guide and a driver, rather than just a driver who
guides (tel. 01/898-0700, www.irishcitytours.com ). Tickets are valid for two consecutive
days—not 48 hours from the time you buy it. To make the most of it, buy your ticket early
in the day.
