The church is at the top of the street on the left, the tourist office is immediately across the road and the coach station is diagonally across the intersection.
For other locations, catch the 401 - Parkmore or 409- Parkmore or 404-Oranmore buses, from Eyre Square (bus details). As the bus leaves the city-centre, it makes a sharp right-hand turn (the tourist office is on the right hand side at the corner). After this:
