City advice
Getting around
Getting from A to B
Get a LEAP card to use throughout your trip. It makes fares on public transport like buses much cheaper. Dublinbikes have a 3 Day Ticket option which is perfect if you’re in the city temporarily - the city can get pretty jammed up with traffic, being on a bike makes getting around quicker.
