In-Depth Information
Get used to the fact that many long Dublin streets change their names every few blocks.
A prime example of this: the numerously named quays (pronounced “keys”) that run east-
west along the River Liffey.
The suburban port of Dun Laoghaire (dun LEERY) lies south of Dublin, 25 minutes
away by DART commuter train. Travelers looking for a mellow town to sleep in outside of
urban Dublin can easily home-base here. Another option is the northern suburb of Howth,
also 25 minutes away on DART and closer to the airport. Room prices are about one-
quarter cheaper in Dun Laoghaire or Howth than in downtown Dublin.
