Travel From the Airport
A taxi to Dublin city centre will be easy to get from the airport and cost ~€25 - €35 depending on traffic/time of day.
There are several bus services that connect the airport to the city centre: https://www.dublinairport.com/to-from-the-airport/by-bus/dublin-buses
Dublin's public transport can be paid for by cash, card or the Leap smart card and these can be bought for a few days - https://about.leapcard.ie/leap-visitor-card
Both cash (Euro) & card (Visa, Mastercard, Revolut, Google/Apple pay, whatever) can be used freely throughout Dublin, with a balance these days towards cards.
Dublin in November is likely to be wet, windy and cold (especially in relation to southern Europe!) We recommend people look at the weather forecast on met.ie (or services like yr.no) in advance of packing!
