Newry sits on the main road and rail line between Dublin and Belfast, which makes getting in straightforward. Translink and Iarnród Éireann trains stop at Newry railway station (about three kilometres from the centre) several times an hour for both cities — roughly an hour to Dublin Connolly, an hour to Belfast Lanyon Place.
By road, the M1 motorway from Belfast and the A1/N1 dual carriageway from Dublin meet in Newry. The nearest international airports are Belfast International and Dublin, both around an hour by car or coach; Aircoach and Translink both run direct services.
