Trinity in the heart of Dublin
Trinity sits in the heart of Dublin’s city centre and over the centuries the city has grown around the university. Today, this is a great advantage for our students. Dublin is a vibrant, young, European capital city and everything the city has to offer is easily accessible to Trinity students. The vast array of restaurants, cafés, delis and coffee shops (most offering student deals and discounts) cater for every taste and budget.
Why Ireland
Be at the centre of things
Trinity’s central location makes it highly accessible for all forms of public transport: Trinity has its own LUAS (tram) station and there is a DART (Dublin’s suburban rail
system) station opposite the campus. A large number of Dublin’s bus services pass by the University and national bus routes are a few minutes walk away. Dublin’s two main train stations are in close proximity, while Dublin airport is 13km (8 miles) from the campus and is directly accessible via bus or taxi. Find out more here.
