Half day in Dublin for oldies [closed]

Half day in Dublin for oldies [closed] - Bridge Under The Blue Sky

I'll have six hours break in Dublin, when I'll be travelling with my old parents (70+). What should I show them, so the trip wouldn't be too tiring for them? Price is less relevant than comfort.

Should I take short / comfortable passage (what?) to the city center and show them something around? Or would it be better to get shortest passage to nearest DART station (which one, how to get there?) and bring them around countryside, like for example to visit beautiful Howth?

Can I buy one-day ticket for DART / local transport at the airport and how much will I pay for that?



Best Answer

There is no DART that serves the airport (at least there wasn't 2 years ago). You'll have to take a bus or a taxi to get to Dublin center.

As to where to take your oldies, it is kind of hard to suggest without knowing them or what sort of activities they like to do. Usually old people tend to be more religious, so perhaps, showing them the St Patricks Cathedral (and St Patricks Park on the side) might be a good idea. Dublin Castle is not far from the Cathedral (within walking range if they do not have any health condition that impairs them from walking) and is also a nice place to see. Lots of history and nice old buildings.
