I rented a Toyota Yaris from Dublin city center and embarked on a 600 km round trip to explore the Irish countryside.

A note about Fast Track Immigration in India:
A noteworthy development in international travel across India is the introduction of Fast Track Immigration gates. I have utilized this service at Bangalore (since January 2025) and Kochi, and it significantly improves the experience for frequent international travelers.
The process eliminates the need for passport stamping during entry and exit—travelers simply scan their boarding pass, passport, facial recognition, and fingerprint. The most substantial advantage is the time saved by avoiding unnecessary questioning at immigration counters. This system was already well-established in Delhi by mid-2024, and its expansion to other major airports is a welcome change.
Arrival in London & Transit to Dublin
Upon arriving at Gatwick Airport, I had a brief stop for a traditional fish and chips dinner before boarding a Ryanair flight to Dublin. While cost-effective, Ryanair truly redefines the concept of budget airlines.

On arrival in Dublin, I took the Airport Express bus to the city center, ensuring a seamless transfer.

The itinerary in Dublin focused on visiting some of the most iconic distilleries and breweries. The city is not too big and it is very easy to walk around.
