In-Depth Information
By
train
or
bus,
your gateways to this region are Ennis from the south and Galway
from the north. In 2010, a new rail line was finished, connecting Limerick (via Ennis) and
Galway for the first time in decades—a big plus for those staying in Ennis and relying on
public transport. But linking the smaller sights within County Clare and the Burren by bus
is still difficult: Book a tour instead (see “Bus Tours of the Burren,” next page).
Tips:
Visit an
ATM
in Ennis, Galway, or Lahinch before you enter this region (there
are no ATMs in Doolin, Lisdoonvarna, Kilfenora, or Ballyvaughan). Skip the
Bunratty
Castle and Folk Park
—I'd leave this most commercial and least lively of all European
