Welcome to the Baggleton! This guide will help you find your way around the town If
you are reading this, you are probably staying in one of our fine hotels: either in the historic city centre or by the sea Although our town is a small one, we have one of the best transport systems in the country and wherever you want to go, you will find a method of transport that suits you To go to the wonderful sandy beach at Longshore, you can take the metro There are two stops: get off at Port station if you want to have lunch or dinner at one of our famous fish restaurants overlooking the old port After dinner, you can walk along the beach and get on the metro again at the next stop, which is called Sandygate From Port station it‟s a five-minute walk to the restaurants and it takes about fifteen minutes to walk along to the other end of the beach to Sandygate station For those of you who prefer the bus, or for those who don‟t like walking, the number 3 bus runs along the length of the beach with five stops between Port and Sandygate From the end of the beach, the bus then goes into the town centre, which is a pleasant one-hour ride Alternatively, take the metro from Sandygate and get off at Mullet station, which takes only 40 minutes During rush hour it can take longer if you drive your own car
You can buy tickets from your hotel, from any shop or restaurant or from special ticket machines Single tickets cost one euro each, return tickets are one euro seventy cents and for those of you planning to use public transport a lot, a seven-day ticket costs eight euros and gives you unlimited travel on all the buses, trains and of course on the metro too Many of our office workers who live by the sea take advantage of the weekly ticket The metro is open from six o‟clock in the morning until midnight, but the buses run all night long
