Maps, directions and various cultural links

Directions to the Humanities Institute of Ireland (HII) in UCD:

There are traffic-calming barriers in place in UCD from 7am — 10.30am and from 4pm — 7pm. These barriers restrict access around the campus when entering through the main gate. It is best to use either the Owenstown Entrance (Foster's Avenue) or the Clonskeagh Entrance if visiting the UCD Humanities Institute during these times. On the UCD Campus Map (http://www.ucd.ie/maps/ucdmap_eng.html), the HII is building number 43, grid reference F9.

Directions from the airport:

There are several buses serving the airport with the city centre including Airlink Express for €6 (single). From the city centre, there a number of buses serving UCD campus and the N11 (Stillorgan Road, where UCD main entrance is located). Please find below the most frequent ones:

No. 10 (to Belfield, which stops inside UCD), passing in O'Connell Street and Trinity College, Baggot Street and Donnybrook before reaching Stillorgan Road and campus.

No. 46A and 145: they both pass by O'Connell, Trinity side entrance, Leeson Street, Donnybrook and Stillorgan. If you take these buses ask the driver to stop for UCD and Montrose Hotel. You will see the hotel on your left and you need to cross the bridge to reach UCD main entrance.

***Aircoach.ie:

if you're coming directly from the airport to campus or the Montrose Hotel, the Aircoach is your best option as it comes directly here and ask the bus driver to stop at the Montrose, then make your way into campus.

Directions from Heuston and Connolly Stations:

From Heuston: take a bus or the LUAS into the city centre. Change in O'Connell street with either No. 10, 46A or 145 that leave from the Spire and in front of Beshoff Fish and Chips and Burger King.

From Connolly: go down the side exit and cross the road in direction of Talbot Street and walk your way to the Spire to connect with the buses towards campus.
