FIRST AFTERNOON IN DUBLIN

Temple Bar


This cobbled neighbourhood, for so long the city’s most infamous party zone, is really more about ambience than attractions. We visited during the day, the district’s bohemian bent was on display. Temple Bar is also Dublin’s official “cultural quarter”, with high-minded offerings such as the Projects Arts Centre, Temple Bar Gallery & Studios, and the Irish Film Institute (IRI).






















Grafton Street & Around


Grafton Street and its surrounding precinct are something of a flexible feast of activities and sights. The main attraction is Trinity College. Just south of Grafton Street is the centrepiece of Georgian Dublin, St Stephen’s Green, beautifully landscaped and dotted with statuary that provides a veritable who’s who of Irish history.
