Dulcinea's Insight
- Ireland's public transportation includes buses, trains, and ferries. For those on a time budget, there is an airline that flies around Ireland, cutting travel time by more than half.
- If you plan to travel in any of the major cities, Dublin, Galway, or Cork, and not between any of them, it's best to travel without a car. For the most part public transportation is efficient and will save you the headache of driving on the left side of the road.
- If you've never driven on the left-hand side of the road before, and are planning to give it a try in Ireland, be advised that it could take a few days or more before you feel totally comfortable. Ireland's often narrow, winding roads could also make traveling more difficult for new drivers.
