Dublin: where do the ships dock?

[gracecarmo]

We will be sailing on Celebrity on a Transatlantic, and stopping in Dublin. Is the dock near the center of town? If not, how far away is it? We would like to do a self-guided walking tour of the Old City.

Depending on traffic it is about a 15/20 minute cab ride to the city center.You will want to get to Grafton Street and start from there.It is easy to walk around and see the sights,but I also suggest the Hop/on Hop/off bus which will take you all around and you can get off and on as much as you like.

Cberge: thanks for the information. I did not know about the hop-on hop-off bus. I also am interested in doing a self-guided tour, one that I downloaded from the Dublin web site.

I was hoping that there was a train that would be quicker than a taxi, and not be dependent on traffic etc.

There is a train of sorts,but I am not sure it will run near where you may or may not dock that is why I said a cab..you should be fine and the cab driver's are really great.You could check when you get there about the train if someone doesn't offer up the info before.The HO's are a great way to see Dublin for the first time.there are 2 of them that start right below Grafton Street..youcan get your ticket on the bus..do that and then finish up with your walking tour..it will make a great day.

Hi Grace: We were with you on the Celebrity cruise in South America. We are also going on a transatlantic this year but not on Celebrity. We are on the Golden Princess, sailing on August 20th out of Southampton. Have a wonderful trip. Eileen and Larry
