Grafton St & Around

Busy, pedestrianised Grafton St is both the city’s most famous street and its unofficial centre. You’ll find the biggest range of pubs, shops and restaurants in the bustling hive that surrounds it, a warren of side streets and alleys that is almost always full of people.

2 Grafton St is in the heart of the city and no more than 500m from all other neighbourhoods (including the western edge of the Docklands).

Top SightTrinity College

This calm and cordial retreat from the bustle of contemporary Dublin is Ireland’s most prestigious university, a collection of elegant Georgian and Victorian buildings, cobbled squares and manicured lawns that is among the most delightful places to wander.
