By Bus or Coach
Ireland has an excellent bus network servicing all regions. The major towns all have a main bus station, which will allow you to branch off to surrounding smaller towns and villages, and in some cases the more isolated spots of Ireland.
Fares on this comfortable and relaxing mode of transport tend to be cheaper than rail travel or flying, so if you’re more budget conscious this might be the way to go.
Bus Eireann is the largest provider. You can check timetables, routes and book your tickets online at www.buseireann.ie.
There are a number of coach hire companies approved to Fáilte Ireland standards.
