Like arriving to Ireland

There are 2 ways for arriving to Ireland from Europe, the first and less practical it's combining car and ferry. This option costs quite a lot of money and you will spend more time than fly. Even so the ferry can be a good option if for any reason you have to bring the car to it or you need driving arround the island . To arrive at it you will have to drive until Roscoff or Cherbourg (France) and there to take a direct ferry until Cork or Rosslane (Ireland). For more information and timetables: Irishferries.com
Anyway, the fastest and economical way to arrive to Ireland is in airplane. You can travel to Ireland from a lot of airports arround the Europe,  and the Irish airports that they receive want international from Europe they are: Belfast, Cork, Dublin, Galway  and Shannon.

You want interior

Ireland orders of a good airport net, besides the international airports, not even has other smaller that are used often for traveling arround  the island, they are these: Aran Islands, belfast city, City of Derry, Donegal, Galway, Kerry, Sligo and Waterford.

Once in the Airport

You have landed once in a nearby point on your final fate, there is a big range of means for traveling. Before going out from the airport direct yourselves to information office and take a free map of the zone, especially if you go to Dublin. If you do not make it, also you can find some in the information office of each zone. One of the options more used, especially in small airports, is to rent a car. The most economic company is Hertz. Remember in Ireland people driving for the left hand.
If you choose to travel in public transport, you will be able to arrive almost everywhere in Bus, they are not fast, but with a little time you can arrive almost to everywhere. Also you can take the train, even though you will have to combine the train and the bus, because in some airports the train does not arrive. On the inferior part you have some web pages that can be useful for you to check out timetables, routes and prices. If you need to take a Taxi, it is necessary to take that they have to stick to the stops into account, emptiness doesn't normally circulate for the streets. And only in the big cities they bring taximeter (Belfast, Cork, Dublin, Galway and Limerick) In the other places it's necessary to agree previously the price with the taxi drivers. For traveling for Dublin and its proximity, you can take the Dart, it's a suburban train. Or also the Tram, which Luas Luas.ie say besides the bus.
