Car Trip From Dublin to Cork

Over 136 miles of sprawling countryside await on a car trip from Dublin to Cork. From the bustling streets of Ireland's political headquarters to the lanes of the nation's self-proclaimed "Real Capital," it's nothing but lush greenery, mystical castles, and charming villages encircled by rustic farmyards.

Every twist and turn is like a page from a picture book of unspoiled natural beauty. That's until the multicolored buildings of the Republic of Ireland's second-largest city come into sight. Nothing should spoil such a stunning drive through the heart of Ireland's Ancient East. So we put together an in-depth guide that includes the best way to get from Dublin to Cork and travel tips to enhance this bucket list car ride!

About Cork

After driving from Dublin to Cork, you'll have entered Ireland's second-largest city, home to over 264,000 welcoming locals. Its location along the River Lee and the southern tip of the island makes it one of the most significant regions, thanks to its proximity to continental Europe.

St. Finbarr founded Cork after building a monastery on the island. By the 1100s, Vikings and Normans had conquered the land and made it part of England. Although a vital port city, Cork witnessed occupation from William of Orange, the invasion of Cromwell, and the burning of Cork City by the English in retaliation for multiple ambushes during the War of Independence.

Cork's eagerness to voice its beliefs and fight for its land earned it its nickname as the Rebel County. Today, you can still feel the rebellious attitude, like how locals only drink Murphy Stout instead of Dublin-owned Guinness. The region's energy and rich past let you experience its city charm, family-owned stores, and historic red brick buildings in the 21st century.

From Dublin to Cork: Travel Tips

Although the distance from Dublin to Cork seems small on the map, it's big in spirit and adventure. These travel tips from local drivers and experts will make this a smooth ride you won't forget!

Prepare for the Weather

Even if it's sunny when you leave your accommodation in Dublin, be sure to prepare for rain. You can easily experience all four seasons in a day in Ireland, even in the summer. An umbrella and waterproof clothing are essential, especially if you plan to do sightseeing en route.

Book Tickets in Advance

Cork and Dublin are two of the most visited cities in the Republic of Ireland. As a result, public transportation can sell out at your desired time. Train tickets also skyrocket if you wait to buy them at the station or at the last minute.

Explore Ireland's Ancient East

Ireland's Ancient East is the country's most historical region. Castles, abbeys, and monasteries are all nestled within the thick foliage of the Irish woodlands. Stunning attractions such as Blarney Castle and Dunamase are along the way and are challenging to reach without renting a car.

How to Get From Dublin to Cork

Being the Republic of Ireland's two most visited and largest cities, the government and several companies established a robust transportation infrastructure. Each has its own unique advantages to suit your preferences on how to get from Dublin to Cork.

Bus from Dublin to Cork

The bus is cheap and by far the most popular way for locals to get from Dublin to Cork. Bus Eireann is the national bus firm and is the most affordable yet slowest of the four services. You can view the timetable and purchase a ticket online or at Dublin Busaras Station for €14. The journey to Cork Parnell Place takes four hours, as it stops in several towns along the way.

Aircoach and CityLink are the most frequently used, as they're the quickest and stop at Dublin airport. Tickets are still cheap, costing between €15 and €19, and take just three hours to complete.

Train from Dublin to Cork

The train is a relaxing, but not very convenient, way to travel from Dublin.

You must take a tram or taxi to Dublin Heuston Station, located 15-20 minutes from downtown. Tickets with Irish Rail start at €25 if you book more than a month in advance and can rise to €50 if you wait until the last minute.

The train ride lasts around 2 hours and 40 minutes and will arrive at Cork Kent Station, just a 20-minute walk from St. Patrick's Street.

Daytrip Private Car from Dublin to Cork

Daytrip is the easiest and most enriching method of transport when traveling from Dublin to Cork.

For 2 hours and 50 minutes, you can sit back and relax in your private vehicle, admiring the timeless allure of the Emerald Isle. But with optional sightseeing attractions, you have the opportunity to extend this tour through the rugged coastline. You will learn about the regional heritage at the UNESCO World Site of the Rock of Cashel. Or take a leaf out of the local's book and sample the finest whiskeys at the Jameson Distillery Factory!

Don't worry about arranging a taxi to your hotel once you arrive. Your friendly driver will drop you off directly at your accommodation and handle any bags you have with you!

Things to Do When You Get to Cork

Cork may be the Republic of Ireland's second-largest city. But it's second to none when it comes to exciting things to see and do. Put these unmissable attractions on your list of things to do when you get to Cork!

Wander the English Market

The English Market dates back to 1788. And today, it's still adored by locals and tourists. Inside the narrow corridors, you'll uncover festive energy and a plethora of regional delicacies, from soda bread to black tea and vegetables to shellfish.

Cork is also dubbed Ireland's food capital. The best way to immerse yourself in its cuisine is by picking up regional goods and enjoying a meal at Bishops Lucey Park, just across the street!

Take a Trip to Spike Island

Spike Island is 25 minutes from downtown but is easily accessible by train. The trip is worth every second and penny you spend since it was recently crowned Europe's best attraction at the World Travel Awards, overcoming landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower and Buckingham Palace.

You can visit this eerie jail known by prisoners as "Ireland's Alcatraz" during the day, or if you're feeling brave, take a haunted tour once the sun sets!

Enjoy the Pub Culture

No trip to the Republic of Ireland is complete without diving into its raucous pub culture! Endless traditional pubs litter Cork's walkways with live music and free-flowing beer, creating a lively atmosphere.

To plunge deeper into what makes this nation famous, take a tour of a local microbrewery like the Franciscan Well or Rising Sons.

The Crawford Art Gallery is ideal for a more sophisticated afternoon or something to do on a rainy day. It's the most extensive art museum in Munster, home to historical and contemporary collections.

Over 3,000 exhibits reside here, and several temporary collections are also available. So you'll have something new to discover every time you return!

When Is the Best Time to Visit Cork?

Since the Rebel City isn't a tourist hotbed like London or Paris, summer is the best time to travel from Dublin to Cork. Although you'll witness other travelers here, the streets won't be gridlocked from large crowds.

The climate is pleasant, with an average temperature of 63° Fahrenheit. Since it's not baking, you can enjoy walking tours and outdoor activities. As a bonus, the outdoors is even more beautiful this time of the year after the flowers and plants transform the green landscape into various shades of vibrant colors.

Ireland's national and UNESCO World Heritage-certified sport, GAA, also takes place in the summer. You can attend the festival-like games in person or go to one of the countless bars and celebrate with the locals.
