Hi Betty,
What a great idea to visit Kilkenny on a day trip from Dublin! We love that you are planning to use
public transport! 🚂
As an alternative to the train, you can catch a bus back to Dublin in less than 2 hours. I can recommend this
journey planner, where you can simply enter departure and arrival points. Click "Show more schedules" until your desired departure times are displayed. Around 5pm on the 5th of July, there should be 2 bus options available to you:
JJ Kavanagh & Sons at 4.50pm or
Dublin Coach at 5.45pm. Please visit the website of the bus operator of your choice to confirm this schedule and buy your tickets.
Do you already have some ideas of what you'd like to
see and do in Kilkenny? Hop over to our website for some tips! 😊⭐
Best wishes,
Rebecca ☘️
