Lifford is the main gateway into County Donegal for travel from Dublin and north of Dublin. Consequently, it is served by the main bus routes that serve Letterkenny. Also, as the town is located just across the border/river from Strabane in Northern Ireland, it can be accessed by a short walk from Strabane bus station, which is served by buses to Derry.

Lifford (, historically anglicised as Liffer) is the county town of County Donegal, Ireland, the administrative centre of the county and the seat of Donegal County Council, although the town of Letterkenny is often mistaken as holding this role.
Lifford lies in the Finn Valley area of East Donegal where the River Finn meets the River Mourne to create the River Foyle. The Burn Dale (also spelt as the Burn Deele), which flows through Ballindrait, flows into the River Foyle on the northern outskirts of the town. Lifford lies across the River Foyle from Strabane (in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland) and is linked to that town by Lifford Bridge.
