Sligo is the principal town in County Sligo along the west coast of the Republic of Ireland. Traditionally a small, quiet coastal town, it has experienced significant redevelopment in recent years and now offers restaurants and entertainment.

[edit] Get in

  • CIE / Irish Rail[1] runs trains throughout the day between Dublin and Sligo. The trip takes approximately 3-17 hours, €26 single, €35 return approx.
  • Bus Eireann Buses throughout the day from most major towns/cities. 4hours from Dublin, 2&1/2 from Galway. Half the price of the train but buses can be a bit stuffy!
  • Aer Arann[2] operate two flights per day from Dublin to Sligo Airport[3] which is situated near Strandhill, five miles from Sligo town.

[edit] See

  • Heapstown Stone Cairn A large and impressive cairn just outside of Sligo proper. Can't miss it from the town - look for the mountain with a unnatural mound on top. Views of Sligo are amazing from the summit.
