The Aviva Stadium is located on Lansdowne Road, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4 with an Eircode (post code) of K5F9. It is reachable by four primary methods of transport: Dublin Bus, DART (rail), Luas and coach.

It is also possible to take any of the above methods of transport into the city centre before taking a roughly 40-minute walk to the stadium.

There is also the option of a taxi - if you were to hail a taxi from O'Connell Street, the city's main thoroughfare, this would set you back between €10-16, and the journey takes around 20 minutes. However, this may vary due to the likelihood of increased traffic heading towards the venue on the night.

First of all, it is important to note that a Leap card is available for travel on Dublin Bus, Luas and DART when travelling within Dublin. This will be handy on the day as it will make your trip more seamless and without the need to handle coins to pay your fares.

You can purchase a Leap card online here or in-store in most newsagents in Dublin. You can top them up in-store too, or by using the Leap card app which you can download here.
