Can I watch ZDF/ARD online in Ireland?

Posted on May 31, 2018January 12, 2021 by Dublin Guide

Is it possible to watch ZDF/ARD online in Ireland? I live here, but would love to watch German TV, and especially the upcoming FIFA World Cup on ZDF/ARD. Can that be done from abroad?

That is a brilliant question, and the answer to your question is yes. It can be done, but you need to trick around a bit. The upcoming FIFA World Cup will be broadcasted in Ireland as well, so you can watch the matches on Irish TV, but if you want to watch them on German TV (which is understandable as you cheer for Germany), you will need to give the ZDF/ARD website the impression that you are in Germany.

To do so, you will need to make the ZDF/ARD website believe that you are in Germany. The best way to do so is by using a VPN service. Such a service will let you connect to a server in Germany, which will result in you getting a German IP address, which again will make you able to watch German TV online in Ireland.

For this purpose, I recommend using the VPN services of IPVanish. That is an American VPN service with servers all across the world, also in Germany. Sign up, connect to a server in Germany, and you are good to go.

If you later move back to Germany and miss Irish TV, you can also use IPVanish to get an Irish IP address, in order to stream RTE and other Irish TV channels from abroad.

How much time does it take to drive from Dublin to Belfast?

I am considering a day trip to Belfast from Dublin. How much time does it take to drive from Dublin to Belfast? Is it worth the trip?

If you have never been to Belfast before, then the city is for sure worth a day trip from Dublin. It is the beautiful capital in Northern Ireland, and it has a very nice atmosphere that makes it ideal for a day trip. But, how long time will it take you to drive from Dublin to Belfast?

Driving from Dublin to Belfast

If you take the quickest road between the two capitals, then you will cover a distance of approximately 170km/105 miles. Based on the roads this is a distance you should be able to cover in about two hours, exactly the same speed as most trains traveling between the cities do. It should be mentioned that the train stations in both Dublin and Belfast are centrally located, so if you want less stress, then using the railway could be a good option.

The main road leading to Belfast from Dublin travels almost along the ocean, and you will drive close to cities such as Drogheda, Dundalk and Lisburn before you arrive to Belfast.

What are you gonna do in Belfast? You can find quite a lot of suggestions for nice programs, activities and attractions in the Belfast Guide.

We hope this has answered your question, but if you have further comments or questions, use the comment field beneath.
