Driving in Ireland

Just like in the UK, Ireland is one of the few places in Europe – and the world – where people drive on the left, so if you are visiting from Britain this will certainly make navigating the roads easier.

Indeed, many of the motoring rules that apply in the UK are also present in Ireland and failure to comply could see you being issued with a fixed penalty notice by the Garda.

As with many cities, traffic in Dublin can be busy and the parking is expensive, so you may wish to explore the destination on foot, before using your car to head out and see more of Ireland.

Just outside the city limits are many top attractions, including Ardgillan Castle near Balbriggan.

However, there are many other fascinating places to see in Ireland. For instance, if you are visiting the country on holiday with your family, you may wish to drive the short distance to the beach, as Dublin is situated close to the east coast.

Alternatively, you can pack a picnic and hit the road to travel further afield to places like Kilkenny, Limerick or Cork.
