- Dublin - Marys Abbey
Located beside St Mary's Abbey, which dates from 1139, our English language school is housed in an impressive 18th century warehouse which has been beautifully restored. The classrooms are all bright and spacious, with comfortable seating and the original stone walls and wooden floors.
The majority of Dublin's public transport terminates in and around the famous O'Connell Street. O'Connell Street marks the heart of Dublin's city centre, and is easy to spot by the impressive 120m high sculpture known as The Spire. The Luas, Dublin's light rail system, runs through O'Connell Street from Connolly train station to the west of the city. If you follow the Luas tracks out of the city, along Middle Abbey Street, you will eventually arrive at Capel Street which runs parallel with O'Connell Street. Continue on through the junction of Abbey Street Upper and Capel Street passing the restaurant D7 on your left, and the pub 'The Boars Head' on your right. Dublin - Marys Abbey is located at the end of the next side street on the right.
Getting ThereBy bus: When you arrive to the Dublin International Airport just go to bus station, it will take 30 minutes to arrive to Dublin city center.
