Dubin is well served by air links
from a large number of airports in the UK, Europe and the US. Several
US carriers serve the US destinations, as well as the Irish airline Aer Lingus and many "national"
carriers serve Dublin from Europe and the UK. There are in addition
"low cost" airlines such as RyanAir
and BMI Baby.
There are rail and bus links to
Dublin also from almost all parts of Ireland, but locals will know
about that. There are ferries as well from the UK and France.
There is information at about how to reach TCD
once you are in Dublin. Or see below for a more condensed (possibly
less accurate) version. If you want to know about parking near TCD, the
answer is it is expensive.
