Dublin is the capital city of Ireland with many famous historical and tourist attractions. It is well served by international flights to Dublin Airport from all over the world, with excellent connections to London airports and many cities in Europe via Ryanair and Aer Lingus, among others. The Fitzpatrick Castle Hotel is located on the picturesque South Dublin coast, beside Killiney Hill with panoramic views of Dublin Bay and a short stroll from the historic Dalkey village. The hotel can be reached by bus from Dublin Airport – take the Aircoach Route 702 (approx. every hour) towards Greystones and get off at Dalkey Village stop (return ticket €18.90).
