How to get there from Atlas

The venue is located in 51 Wellington Quay, Temple Bar, Dublin, in the city centre. You can either walk or take the bus, depending on how you feel (and on the weather, of course). If you want to walk, it would be 23 minutes from the school, so if it’s a sunny day I would suggest having a nice stroll through the colourful streets of Dublin. If you want to take the bus, you can go to the bus stop in South Richmond St and wait for the 14/15/15B/140, the 65/65B or the 83/83A (yes, basically you could take every bus). After 10 minutes, you reach Dame Street which is your stop, then you walk for about 5 minutes and you are there.
