Why we featured this post

A single Dublin day can cover far more than a quick pub stop, and this walk shows how to make the most of your time. The author lays out an 8 km route from Dublin Castle and the free Chester Beatty Library through St. Patrick’s Cathedral, the Ha’penny Bridge and Temple Bar, then onward to Trinity College and St. Stephen’s Green. Families can build in free museum stops and a park-bench to rest on, while keeping in mind that interesting detours took the author beyond 12 km. It is a practical route for choosing a few highlights rather than racing through every stop.

Things to do

  • Browse free manuscripts at Chester Beatty Library
  • Cross the Ha’penny Bridge over the River Liffey
  • Explore colourful street art in Temple Bar
  • See the Book of Kells at Trinity College
  • Pause among the greenery at St. Stephen’s Green
