gracecarmo Posted July 31, 2005 #1 Share Posted July 31, 2005 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. Grace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grace 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.

gracecarmo Posted July 31, 2005 Author #4 Share Posted July 31, 2005 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. Grace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buttercor Posted August 5, 2005 #7 Share Posted August 5, 2005 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.
