Galway is a town located on the far-west side of Ireland and it’s worth a visit if you want to make the most of your trip to Ireland. To get from Dublin Airport to Galway, you have three transport options; taxi, bus, and train. Airport taxis are available 24/7 all year round at Dublin Airport but the long distance from Dublin Airport to Galway, which is around 215 km, may cause taxi drivers to turn down the hire. To secure your ride, a great option is to pre-book a private transfer from Dublin Airport to save time and money. The average fare for up to 4 passengers is €350 and the trip takes around 2 hours and 15 minutes.
The other option is to take a bus from Dublin Airport to Galway; CityLink and Aircoach buses cost €20 and €19 per traveller respectively and the trip takes around 3 hours and 40 minutes. Finally, you can take the train, which is the slowest option as there is no direct connection from Dublin Airport to Galway. You will need to get from Dublin Airport to the city to reach Heuston Train Station and from there take the train to Galway. The total trip duration is around 2 hours and 50 minutes, depending on how you choose to reach the city centre.
