Temple Bar
Bordered by Dame Street to the south and the river Liffey to the north, Temple Bar takes its name from Sir William Temple, who in the 17th century had the bright idea of draining the wide marshy river banks that sloped down to the Liffey.

The Liberties and West
In the early days of Dublin’s development the network of streets known as the Liberties lay outside the city walls and formed one of many Gaelic self-governing districts.

Ballsbridge and South
A short distance south of the city centre and with good bus routes for those unable or unwilling to walk, Ballsbridge is an expensive residential neighbourhood, whose postcode (Dublin 4) is synonymous with plummy accents, faux Victorian conservatories and undimmed middle-class values.

South of Dublin
The DART runs right along the south coast of Dublin Bay as far as Dun Laoghaire, with its massive harbour and ferry port, and on to Bray, where you can enjoy the faded seaside atmosphere and a lovely cliff walk.

North of Dublin
There are some appealing places to visit north of the city, and most of them can be easily reached by train from the centre of Dublin.
