http://www.esplanadehotel.ie/ How to come from the Royal Hotel to the training place? Leave the Royal hotel and go left. Turn left into the Queensborough Road and walk down to the sea. At the sea front turn right and follow the seafront until you see the Esplanade hotel to your right. It is an estimated 10 minutes walking distance. How to Find the Royal Hotel If you come by car From the North: o Take the M50 to the South (direction Wexford). You'll follow the M50 and leave at the first exit to Bray. From the South: o Take the N11 to the North (direction Dublin) and then the third (last) exit to Bray. Once you took the exit to Bray: At the next round-about turn right into the town centre of Bray. After the bridge you'll see the Royal Hotel on your left hand side and a church on your right hand side. If you come by DART (train): The journey by DART from Dublin city centre to Bray takes 35 mins approx. The Florence Road connects the Bray DART station with the Bray town center. On the one end is the DART station, on the other is a church. Go from the DART station into Bray (to the Main Road) following the Florence Road. When you reach the church turn right into the main road and the Royal Hotel is after 100 m to your right. It is about 5 mins walk from the DART Station to the ISCN Office. From Dublin Airport Page 6 of 8
A taxi from the airport (North of Dublin) to Bray (South of Dublin) goes through the M50 motorway and takes at least 35 minutes (depending on the traffic). The cost is about 65 Euro. As you might know, Dublin has the DART service (Dublin Area Rapid Transport) instead of an underground railway. Take the bus directly outside the Arrivals Hall to the city center and leave at the TARA DART station. You take the DART Southbound to Bray and leave the DART at the Bray DART station and just follow the Florence road. This journey altogether will take about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Note: Dublin is quite large city and so it takes time to reach the target place from the airport. 3.
