The Journey
The Old Storehouse Bar and Restaurant
Begin your Dublin adventure at The Old Storehouse, a cornerstone of Temple Bar's vibrant pub scene. Immerse yourself in the lively atmosphere of Dublin's cultural quarter, soaking in the sights and sounds while enjoying traditional Irish hospitality. Known for its live music and hearty fare, it's the perfect starting point to experience the energy of Temple Bar.
Anna Livia Monument
Encounter Anna Livia, Dublin's beloved river goddess, as you journey west from Temple Bar. Officially named 'The Monument to Anna Livia', but more commonly known as 'The Floozie in the Jacuzzi', this monument represents the River Liffey and is a symbolic landmark in Dublin's urban landscape. Appreciate the city's connection to its lifeblood as you pass by.
Christ Church Cathedral
Discover Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin's oldest cathedral, steeped in history and nestled in an area once known as 'Hell'. Marvel at its stunning architecture and explore its rich past, dating back to 1030. Descend into the medieval crypt, one of the largest in Britain and Ireland, for a glimpse into Dublin's ancient roots.
Dublin Castle
Journey through centuries of Irish history at Dublin Castle, the former seat of English and British power for 700 years. Explore its opulent State Apartments, the Chapel Royal, and the Chester Beatty Library, home to a world-renowned collection of manuscripts and art. Reflect on Ireland's past as you wander through this iconic landmark, before venturing onward to Dame Lane.
City Hall, Parliament Street
Admire the grandeur of City Hall, an oft-overlooked Georgian masterpiece on Parliament Street. Built in the late 18th century, this architectural gem once housed the Royal Exchange. Its impressive dome and intricate interiors offer a glimpse into Dublin's rich civic history. This is passed by as you leave Temple Bar and head for Dame Lane.
Ha'penny Bridge
Cross the iconic Ha'penny Bridge, a beloved symbol of Dublin that spans the River Liffey. Originally named the Wellington Bridge, it acquired its nickname because pedestrians were required to pay a 'half-penny' to cross it. Experience the charm of this historic landmark and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of the riverside pubs nearby, perhaps sampling some Irish whiskey.
Dame Lane
Immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of Dame Lane, a beloved enclave in Dublin's south inner-city. Experience the lively pub scene, street art, and unique charm of this pedestrianized lane. Enjoy traditional Irish music, sample local brews, and soak in the authentic Dublin spirit. Just south of Temple Bar, it's a must-visit destination for locals and visitors alike.
The Stag's Head
Step back in time at The Stag's Head, one of Dublin's most cherished Victorian pubs. Be awed by its beautifully preserved interior, complete with stained glass, ornate mirrors, and a majestic stag's head.
