Cycling in Ireland

Cycling is one of the more popular sports in Ireland. It is an ideal way to discover the true beauty and charm of Ireland, at your own pace.

If you bring your own bicycle with you, it can be transported on the Irish Rail network. The additional fare for a bike depends on the journey length, but the maximum is IEP 6.00.
