About the city
Johnstown, located beside Navan in County Meath, is a calm and practical base for visitors coming to Ireland for concerts, sporting events and major live events. Although the town itself has a more relaxed, residential character, its proximity to Navan and strong connections with Dublin make it an appealing choice for those who want to stay within reach of the main arenas, stadiums and concert venues while enjoying the easier pace of a smaller place. Johnstown offers convenient access to accommodation, restaurants and everyday services, making a stay before or after an event practical and free from unnecessary rush.
Transport connectivity is one of Johnstown’s key advantages. For arrival and local movement, visitors most often use Bus Éireann and services within the Transport for Ireland network, including bus links toward Navan, Dublin and the airport. The nearest wider transport hub is Navan, while rail connections to the rest of Ireland are often accessed through stations such as M3 Parkway, Drogheda, Dublin Connolly and Dublin Heuston. Air travel most commonly goes through Dublin Airport, from where bus and road connections toward the Meath area are available. Thanks to roads leading toward Dublin and nearby towns, visitors can plan trips to arenas, stadiums and concert locations relatively easily, whether by public transport, taxi or private vehicle.
Johnstown’s tourist bonus is its closeness to Navan and the historic County Meath area, a region known for green landscapes, rivers and ancient Irish sites. Before or after an event, it is worth walking through the centre of Navan, stopping by the River Boyne or exploring the wider surroundings that lead toward landmarks such as the Hill of Tara and historic places in the Boyne Valley. This combination of a peaceful base, good transport access and a cultural-historical setting makes Johnstown a practical choice for visitors who want to combine an event with a relaxed Irish experience.
