AIRPORTS

DUBLIN AIRPORT (3 hours) -

Main international hub, this is your best option for flying in and out of from the US or Korea.


SHANNON AIRPORT (2 hours) -

Smaller regional airport with direct flights from the East Coast of the US & Europe. Flights into Shannon may be slightly more expensive and slightly less reliable. If you choose to fly into Shannon you will be greeted by a lovely airport and a beautiful drive through the west of Ireland to Galway.


KNOCK AIRPORT (1.5 hours) -

The closest local airport, an option if you are flying Aer Lingus or Ryanair from another European hub. Not a good option for those flying in from the US.


TRANSPORT

BY CAR

We recommend hiring a rental car if you plan to explore the area beyond the wedding. It is about a 3 hour drive from Dublin Airport to the venue. The country roads in the last hour of driving can be narrow with one way traffic.


PUBLIC TRANSPORT

To reach the venue by public transport, take a bus or taxi from Dublin Airport to Heuston Station. From there, take a train to Galway Station. Let us know if you're considering this option - we may organise group transport on Thursday and Sunday between the venue and Galway. Otherwise, you can take a bus or taxi to the venue.

WHERE TO STAY

The hotel venue will be exclusive for the wedding weekend. It's a gorgeous location, and we would love for as many of you as possible to stay on site with us. Offsite options are also available.
