Cheapest safe way to get from Dublin Airport to the other side of the city around midnight?

I get into Dublin just shy of midnight, my hotel is on the other side of the city.

What's the safest cheap way to go about getting there? Google maps tells me public transport still runs at night, but I'd have to change buses + walk for a mile. After midnight in a new city? Nope. I'm not even sure if my hotel is in a safe neighbourhood, it was cheap.

Google maps says taxi is 50+€ which is just nuts.

Is there uber or a taxi app I could download to get around cheaper?

Think the 41 bus goes through the airport and is cheaper than the airport bus
Runs throughout the night
This will drop you in the middle of town
Make sure you have change for the fare as the drivers don't give change
Think its 2€ standard fare these days

You can probably get the airport bus.

The airport bus doesn't run directly where I need to go. I'd need to switch buses and then take a 10 minute walk around 1am.

Would that be safe?

That entirely depends on where.

I would say not the best place for a random stroll. Are you staying there?

I'm stunned the taxi would be so much.

If you get a hackney it'll be cheaper than a taxi!

Dublin is dodgy and intimidating enough during the day, night time is a ballache.

If you're not skint, then get a taxi.

Download the Bolt app, they were giving 50% discounts recently, not sure if they still are. You should not rusk walking around Dublin at 1am, far too dangerous

I have the Bolt app. Use it weekly. Good to hear it works there as well, but as a long time user, probably no discount. Thanks! I'll probably just order a Bolt taxi then.
