Getting to Croke Park with luggage

The closest railway station is Drumcondra Station, a 5-minute walk from the stadium, which makes it the natural place to think about dropping a bag if you're arriving by train. The Green Line Luas stops at Parnell and Marlborough are also a 15-minute walk away. Whatever route you take, spectators are advised to arrive at least an hour before throw-in for entry procedures and security checks, and concert-goers should plan to be inside 45 minutes before show time, so leave extra time if you need to deal with bags first. The Hogan Stand is accessed via routes including Jones's Road and Russell Street. St. Margaret's Avenue is used as an access route for the Davin Stand. Croke Park is bordered by Jones's Road to the west, Clonliffe Road to the north, St. James Avenue to the east, and the Royal Canal to the south.

Visiting Croke Park: tours and the local area

Croke Park runs official guided behind-the-scenes stadium tours that take visitors through areas like the players' tunnel and dressing rooms. The standard tour lasts around 1 hour 30 minutes including a 20-minute film at the start, and visitors should allow at least an extra 30 minutes to explore the GAA Museum, so a bag you can't take inside means missing or rushing part of the tour. The same goes for the Skyline tour, which offers panoramic views from 17 storeys high.

O'Connell Street is served by its own Luas tram stops and is accessible via nearby DART stations, so you can reach Stasher points there easily from the stadium area. The Spire is a public monument with no admission fee and is accessible 24 hours a day, year-round. Drumcondra railway station provides direct connections to Dublin Connolly and Dublin Heuston.
