In November 2016, the first ever UX Ireland will take place at the Trinity Biomedical Sciences Institute in Dublin's city centre.
The Trinity Biomedical Sciences Institute (TBSI) is a new state of-the-art research facility at Trinity College Dublin (TCD).
As a conference venue, TBSI is equipped with advanced AV systems and is conveniently located next to Pearse train station. It sits in the heart of Dublin city, right beside the historic TCD campus and the famed River Liffey.
Dublin, Ireland’s capital, is steeped in history. Our beautiful city, founded on a viking settlement over a thousand years ago, is an amalgamation of cultures from throughout the ages.
Home to some of the world's greatest literary figures and beautiful scenery, Ireland has become a place for arts and culture to thrive. Our winding cobbled streets, easy going nature, and globally famous spirit create an environment of joy for visitors from all over the world.

People from most countries will be able to enter Ireland without a Visa, but we recommend that you check dfa.ie before your trip.
Dublin Airport is approximately 12km from the city centre with a number of transport links:
We recommend the Airlink (single €6/return €10) or the Aircoach (€7 single/€12 return approx. depending on stop location). You can buy tickets for both buses at the airport and they both leave every 10-20 minutes.
All car rental companies can be found in both the Terminal 1 Arrivals Hall and Terminal 2 Multi-storey Car Park.
A taxi from Dublin Airport to Dublin city centre will cost approximately €27.

It is the main public transport provider for the GDA (extending as far as Newcastle in County Wicklow, Balbriggan in north County Dublin, Dunboyne in County Meath and Maynooth in County Kildare). Dublin Bus also provides many different services for tourists such as sightseeing tours and themed routes, for example the Dublin Ghost bus!
