Temple Bar is one of the city's
oldest areas; the once rundown buildings in this maze of streets
are today the hyperactive entertainment and eating hub of Dublin.
Don’t forget to check it out.
It is some of Dublin's best night spots, restaurants and unusual
shops line these narrow, cobbled streets running between the
Bank of Ireland and Christ Church Cathedral. In the 18th century
the area was home to many insalubrious characters-Fownes Street
was noted for its brothels. It was also the birthplace of parliamentarian
Henry Grattan. More

3. ST STEPHEN GREEN
STEPHEN GREEN PARK
STEPHEN GREENSHOPPING CENTRE
St.Stephen's Green is a 27 acre park in the heart of Dublin city centre.
A popular lunchtime retreat for many of the office workers in the
area, it was originally open public ground until 1663 when the Corporation
fenced the area off. The green was then sold and the ground was closed
to the public. It was during this time that the Georgian houses around
the Green were built.
The Green remained private ground until 1877 when Sir A.E. Guinness,
a member of the Guinness brewing family, pushed an act through Parliament
making the Green open to the public once again. He later paid for
the laying out of the Green including the gardens and the ponds which
date from 1880. More
