Overview: Car trip from Galway to Dublin

To many people, Galway – the third largest city in Ireland – is one of the most beautiful cities in Ireland, second only to Dublin. Galway is well known for its medieval feel, quaint cobblestone streets, lively atmosphere, old pubs, scenery, and street music. But if you're making the car trip from Galway to Dublin, you already know this.

After enjoying Galway's charms, prepare yourself for even more to love on your car trip to Dublin. On the surface, Dublin is a peaceful city perfect for solo travelers and families interested in a low-key holiday. Still, this beautiful city has far more to see and do.

When traveling with Daytrip, you can stop and explore along the way. Visit Athlone Castle, Clonmacnoise, Trim Castle, Tullamore Dew, and plenty more to see more of Ireland. Our friendly, professional drivers are more than willing to fill you in on what you need to know about the places you plan to visit.

When you get to Dublin, you'll encounter ancient and modern architecture that you can soak up when leisurely wandering the alleyways, streets, and numerous historical and cultural sights throughout the Dublin countryside. Not to mention, the people in Dublin are some of the warmest and friendliest in the world.

About Dublin

Dublin is Ireland's capital city and is often considered one of the friendliest capital cities in the world. In fact, its popularity is so immense that Dublin was once voted Europe's fourth most popular destination behind the other Great Capitals – London, Paris, and Rome. It's not too difficult to see why this city is so popular. It is relatively small and safe, making it easy to get around on foot, richly decorated with elegant Georgian architecture that draws in the eye, and filled with cultural and historical attractions you'll not find anywhere else.

Dublin was founded by Vikings during the 9th century. The Vikings established Dublin as a key maritime center, with the port and city growing and prospering over the years. When the English made their way to Dublin, their influence led to spectacular architecture being developed during the 17th and 18th centuries, and these buildings, chapels, city centers, and monuments can still be seen today.

After the height of the 19th century, when Dublin was second only to London in attractiveness and size, the city saw a decline in the 20th century until the 1980s, when new life was breathed into the area. Nowadays, you'll find many of Ireland's national treasures housed in its galleries, castles, and museums in Dublin.

Besides its exquisite cultural and historical touchpoints, Dublin also has a lively entertainment scene. From cultured nights at the theater and dining at one of the city's fine dining establishments, including a Michelin Star restaurant, to boozy nights spent in pubs like Temple Bar and the Guinness Storehouse, Dublin is a place worthy of your bucket list.

From Galway to Dublin: Travel tips

Prepare to have your heart stolen when you drive from Galway to Dublin, with this capital city proudly having something for everyone to see and do. Despite its relatively small size, Dublin is a treasure trove of adventure, but to enjoy this adventure, you need to remember a few travel tips.

Don't trust the weather

Dublin is many things, but filled with endless sunshine is not one of its claims to fame. Unfortunately, this city sees its fair share of gloomy weather, but you don't need to let this detract from your holiday.

To combat the somewhat damp and unpredictable climate, make sure you don't trust it and remember to pack a raincoat or umbrella. You would be surprised how often carrying an umbrella has saved the day when you make stops along the way and want to sightsee, but the weather has taken a turn from bright and sunny to rainy and miserable.

Visit natural attractions early

You might struggle to find a country richer in natural attractions than Ireland. If you want to make a trip to any of Ireland's popular natural attractions, make sure you get there early. If you leave too late in the day, these natural sights get crowded, so it's best to consider traveling with a private car service like Daytrip.

Daytrip's door-to-door service lets you set your departure time so you can get to these sights before the crowds arrive or before it's too busy for comfort so that you can take that picture you've been planning.

Enjoy yourself by booking a reliable private car service

Although there's no shortage of transportation options when traveling from Galway to Dublin, hiring a private trip with Daytrip is in your best interest. A private drive will allow you the luxury of stopping to explore Ireland's rich beauty and history on your ride from Galway to Dublin.

Traveling with Daytrip's friendly drivers will ensure you know everything you need to know about the upcoming places you want to visit. You just have to sit back, relax, and enjoy your once-in-a-lifetime Irish adventure.

How to get from Galway to Dublin

Planning a trip from Galway to Dublin can be daunting with the many moving parts of finding accommodation, which attractions to visit, and transportation options. Fortunately, getting from Galway to Dublin isn't as complicated as it might seem. Below, we've detailed the best options so you can decide how to get from Galway to Dublin.

Galway to Dublin by bus

For those on a budget, taking the bus is the cheapest way to get from Galway to Dublin. Like other European cities, Galway has numerous private coach bus companies offering daily trips from Galway to Dublin.

A few of your choices include CityLink, GoBus, and Bus Eireann, and these coaches charge between 14 and 23 euros per trip to Dublin from Galway. In addition, most of these coach companies have trips leaving every half an hour to an hour since the route is immensely popular. You will need to get to the Galway main bus terminal, and you can expect to be dropped off at Dublin's central bus station.

It's important to note that most of the buses from Galway to Dublin offer WiFi and luggage storage, but the seating can be cramped and the buses crowded, so it's not as comfortable as driving with a car service like Daytrip. Not to mention this route can get especially busy on the weekends, so booking a ticket in advance and checking bus schedules or timetables is a must.

Galway to Dublin by train

One of the fastest ways to travel from Galway to Dublin is via high-speed train. This is a popular choice among those looking for a unique experience since the trains are modern and well-equipped with many amenities, including WiFi and bathrooms.

These trains are also well known for being fast and comfortable while offering quick glimpses of the stunning Irish countryside. They are also flexible, with multiple timetables made available daily, allowing travelers to easily plan their travel schedules.

Usually, there are ten trains per day, with a trip costing upwards of 30 euros. The earliest train is at 05:25 AM, and the last train is at 7:20 PM. The trip length is 2.5-3.5 hours, and the train service most often used is the Irish Rail line.

Galway to Dublin by private car transfer

Not everyone wants to travel by crowded bus or high-speed train. If you want a comfortable and leisurely trip from Galway to Dublin, you should consider a private car transfer through Daytrip. Traveling by private car is one of the fastest ways to travel, with a trip sans traffic taking only two hours and 15 minutes. Daytrip offers door-to-door pick-ups and drop-offs according to your schedule. You can expect friendly drivers with extensive knowledge of their home country.

Although these professional drivers might not be tour guides, they can give you travel tips and make stops away so that you can visit the many attractions and landmarks Ireland is known for. You should also note that you can take side roads with Daytrip if the sights you want to see are off the beaten path. However, this will extend the length of your trip, and you might need to pay a little more, with prices starting at 79 euros.

Things to do when you get to Dublin

Considering Dublin played a pivotal role in European history, it's unsurprising that this city is rich in cultural history. When you drive from Galway to Dublin, you'll be surprised by all you can see and do in this land with its haunting hills, aquatic surroundings, lush greenery, and towering castles. After you've enjoyed all there is to see on the road, here are some things you can do when you get to Dublin.

St. Patrick's Cathedral

St. Patrick's Cathedral, Ireland's National Cathedral, was founded in 1191 and is the largest church in Ireland. This church is steeped in history, with historians believing it is where St. Patrick baptized Christian converts more than 1,500 years ago.

When visiting this beautiful church, you'll be awed by the impressive interior, stunning Christian decor, friendly faces, and ancient wooden pews. Depending on your viewing preferences, you can join a guided tour or explore the church and its grounds yourself.

Trinity College Library

Did you know Dublin's Trinity College Library was world-renowned author J.K Rowling's inspiration for Hogwarts's library? Built in 1592, Trinity College Library is Ireland's oldest university, hosting remarkable students like poet Oscar Wilde, author Bram Stoker, and Johnathon Swift.

If you have a passion for books and knowledge, Trinity College Library is an attraction you cannot miss. With more than 200,000 books and nearly endless beautiful old oak bookcases to walk through, it's worth a few hours of your time. But if you do visit, don't forget to also take a gander at the ancient Book of Kells, which has called this library its home since 1661.

Kilmainham Gaol

One of the more unusual attractions in Dublin, Ireland, is Kilmainham Gaol, which has been used for many famous films, including the 'Italian Job.' Found only a few miles away from Dublin city center, Kilmainham Gaol is an old prison that offers visitors guided tours. By purchasing a timed ticket, you'll get to explore the prison for an hour, with the tour guide taking you through the prison yard, old cells, the cafeteria, and numerous other places found within its spooky walls. While on the tour, you'll also learn about some of the inmates, including a few of Ireland's many revolutionaries who were executed within the prison.

When is the best time to visit Dublin

With Ireland welcoming more than 7 million visitors annually, it's only natural to wonder when the best time to visit Dublin is if you're driving from Galway to Dublin. The answer to this question is tricky because the best time to visit this city depends on your budget and travel preferences.

However, the best time to visit Dublin is generally during the spring and fall because the prices of attractions, transport, and accommodation drop after the peak summer season of July and August. Visiting in the spring or fall also means fewer crowds and cooler weather.

Not to mention, spring and fall are also the festival seasons in Dublin, so you'll have a lot to keep you busy.
