Dublin has accommodation across central districts and residential neighbourhoods. Temple Bar, Trinity College, College Green, Grafton Street and St Stephen’s Green provide hotels, guesthouses, serviced apartments and hostels within the central urban area. The Liberties offers hotels, aparthotels, guesthouses and short-stay apartments close to historic distilleries and cultural attractions. Smithfield and Stoneybatter contain hotels, hostels, apartments and smaller guesthouses in a neighbourhood with cafés and restaurants. Docklands and the International Financial Services Centre include contemporary hotels, serviced apartments and business-oriented accommodation. Ballsbridge provides hotels, guesthouses and apartments in a leafy southern district. Ranelagh, Rathmines and Portobello feature boutique guesthouses, apartments, bed-and-breakfast properties and residential short-stay accommodation. Dublin therefore includes options ranging from hostel rooms and traditional guesthouses to aparthotels and luxury hotels.

Dublin is connected by air through Dublin Airport, which is about 10 kilometres from the city centre and has bus, coach and taxi links into the city. Intercity rail services use Heuston Station and Connolly Station, while DART and commuter trains connect Dublin with suburban and coastal areas. Luas provides tram services on the Green and Red lines, linking central districts with major transport hubs and urban neighbourhoods. Dublin Bus serves the airport, city centre and surrounding areas, including routes toward venues in the southern districts. The M50 is Dublin’s orbital motorway and connects with national roads approaching the city, including the M1, N2, N3, N4 and N7. City parking includes on-street paid spaces, public car parks and venue-area facilities. Local journeys also use taxis and cycling routes.
