How to Get from Dublin Airport to Dublin
The Dublin airport is located approximately 10 km of Dublin city center, near a large suburban area called Swords. Upon arrival at the airport, a visitor will find there is no train or subway service into the city center, but you need not to worry as you have access to a large number of buses, coaches and taxis allowing you to get to and from the airport with ease.
However, if you happen to be four people, choosing a taxi provider might be the best cost-effective way to get to the city center, especially if you have to go to a specific location, and you have luggage.
Tip: You are not required to tip the taxi driver, but if you had good taxi service and want to tip, make sure you leave 10% or more.
