There are many options to get around Dublin, including walking, bicycle, taxi, bus, tram (LUAS) and train (DART).
This handy website will provide directions on how travelling around Dublin hittheroad.ie.
The city centre is within easy walking distance (approx 15minutes to St. Stephen's Green and Grafton Street).
Alternatively, you can hire a bicycle with Dublin Bikes. Their website has a complete map of bike stations, and the GECCO map has useful GECCO bike stations. The closest to the Burlington Hotel is on the corner of Wilson Terrace at the Lower Lesson Street junction.
Dublin Bus provide regular transport to/from the City Centre. Routes 10, 11A and 46A all pass in close proximity to the Burlington Hotel.
If you wish to venture further afield in and around Dublin, the Luas (tram) connects to some of the major suburbs, and the DART (local train) is a nice way to see Dublin Bay stretching from Howth in the North of the city to Bray and Greystones to the South of the City (actually in Co. Wicklow.....Mike has promised cycling tours of the Wicklow mountains to delegates who make it this far).
There is a handy webpage which calculates walking and cycling times within Dublin city. A major tourist and shopping district in Dublin is beside St. Stephens Green, and this is under 1Km (0.6 miles) away (approximately 11 minutes walk) from the Burlington Hotel.
