School Trip Coach Hire in Dublin

Dublin is one of the richest school trip destinations in Ireland, combining national museums and historic sites within 5 kilometres of the city centre with outstanding day-trip options within 60 kilometres. The core Dublin school trip itinerary -- typically Kilmainham Gaol in the morning and a city museum in the afternoon -- is one of the most-booked single-day programmes in the Irish school calendar. Secondary school groups travelling from other parts of Ireland to Dublin for a 1-day or 2-day programme account for a substantial share of the Dublin coach hire market in April, May, and June.

For primary school groups, Dublin Zoo (Phoenix Park, 4 kilometres west of the city centre) is the most visited attraction. For secondary and transition year groups, Kilmainham Gaol (Irish independence history), the National Museum of Ireland (Collins Barracks or Kildare Street, prehistoric and Viking artefacts), and Trinity College (the Book of Kells) are the standard programme. A day trip to Newgrange (50 kilometres north via the M1) or Glendalough (55 kilometres south via the N11) can be added to a two-day programme.
