Travelling from Bristol to Dublin
It's possible to travel from Bristol to Ireland's capital city by bus, train or plane. However, considering the overland route includes a 3-hour ferry trip across the Irish Sea from Holyhead to Dublin, in most cases it makes more sense to fly. By bus or train, you'll be covering approximately 530 kilometres and these journeys are not necessarily cheaper than a direct one-hour flight. The bus from Bristol Coach Station to Dublin takes between 12 and 14 hours while the train leaving from Bristol Temple Meads and arriving at Dublin Port takes around 8 hours.
