Where is the Dublin cruise port?
Ships berth inside Dublin Port, Ireland's main cargo and ferry port at the mouth of the Liffey east of the city centre. Larger ships use Alexandra Quay and Ocean Pier in the port's restricted Common User Area; smaller ships can use Berth 18 on North Wall Quay Extension, closer to the city.
Passengers cannot walk out of the port, so shuttles, taxis or coaches take them to the centre. The Point Luas tram stop on the Red Line is the nearest public transport.

About Dublin
Dublin, Ireland's capital, lies on the east coast where the River Liffey meets Dublin Bay. The compact Georgian and medieval centre is easy to explore on foot once in town. Trinity College holds the illuminated Book of Kells in its Old Library, and Dublin Castle, Christ Church and St Patrick's cathedrals and the Chester Beatty library are close by.
Temple Bar is the lively pub quarter with traditional music, and the Guinness Storehouse at St James's Gate is the city's most visited attraction. Cruise ships berth in the working Dublin Port at the mouth of the Liffey, a short ride from the centre, and day trips go to the Wicklow Mountains, Glendalough and the coastal villages of Howth and Dalkey.
