Give Dungannon half a day for the Hill of the O'Neill, then move on: it is a bus hub, not a base. Sleep in Moy or Belfast.

Rules in force · 8Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window…
  • Europe ↗Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window, counted across all 29 Schengen states together — not per country; the Entry/Exit System now logs each crossing, so an overstay is detected automatically.
  • Europe ↗On the first Schengen entry since EES began, non-EU travellers give four fingerprints and a face photo at the border instead of a passport stamp; there is nothing to apply for or pay in advance.
  • Britain and Ireland ↗Neither the UK nor Ireland is part of Schengen: days spent here do not count towards the 90/180-day Schengen limit, and a Schengen visa does not admit you to either country.
  • Britain and Ireland ↗The island of Ireland runs on two currencies: euro in the Republic, pound sterling in Northern Ireland and Great Britain. Carry a card that pays in both without fees.
  • Britain and Ireland ↗Both islands drive on the left. Speed limits are in miles per hour in the UK (including Northern Ireland) and in kilometres per hour in the Republic of Ireland.
  • United Kingdom ↗Most visitors who do not need a UK visa now need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) before travelling; this includes EU nationals. Irish citizens are exempt. Check the UK government site for your passport.
  • United Kingdom ↗The UK is outside the EU and the Schengen area; a Schengen visa is not valid for the UK.
  • United Kingdom ↗Driving is on the left; London has congestion and emissions charges for most vehicles, so do not drive in the city.

Dungannon is a market and commuter town of about 16,000 in County Tyrone, 40 miles west of Belfast at the end of the M1. Its one real sight is the Hill of the O'Neill, the seat of the Gaelic chieftains until the Flight of the Earls in 1607. There is no railway station and town-centre beds are scarce, so most travellers pass through on the Belfast–Derry or Dublin–Derry coach, or stay in nearby Moy.

Arrive & move

Airports are listed under At a glance; this is how to move once you are in

Getting around

The town centre is walkable in 15 minutes, but the Hill of the O'Neill, the retail park and the leisure centre are spread out. Buses 72, 75, 80, 261 and 273 serve the bus station on Beechvalley Way. The Argory needs a car or taxi.

Which area to sleep in

Where to sleep

Areas, not hotels: pick the one that fits your arrival time and plans.

Moy

Six miles southeast on the A29; the nearest guesthouses, Charlemont House and Ryandale Inn, sit on the square.

Belfast

One hour by Goldliner 273; the practical base if you are touring by public transport.

Dungannon town centre

Very few beds; check availability before you plan a night here.

Watch out

Safety

A low-crime town; the real risks are rural roads without footpaths, dark winter afternoons and the last bus leaving before you expect.
  • No railway station: the nearest is Portadown, 17 miles east, then bus 75 (50 min, six a day Mon–Fri).
  • Sunday buses are roughly every two hours on the main routes; check the last coach back.
  • The Argory and some rural sights close or run weekends only from November to March.
  • Do not board the X3 to Derry: it takes a different route and does not serve Dungannon.
