This is the best way to see the city. By exploring on foot you’ll gain an insight into the city’s layout and get a vibrant impression of Dublin’s street life; you may even make some new friends as you wait endlessly to cross the city’s busy roads. Grafton Street, Henry Street and parts of Temple Bar are pedestrianized, but in the rest of the city you’ll have to negotiate heavy traffic with only some disorganized traffic signals to help you. Most of the major sights south of the river, including Dublin Castle, Trinity College, the cathedrals, the National Museum, Grafton Street and St Stephen’s Green, are 10-minutes’ walk or less from Temple Bar. Sights north of the river are mostly within five to 10-minutes’ walk of O’Connell Street, although it takes rather longer to reach Smithfield. All but the most dedicated walkers will want to catch a bus to reach Phoenix Park, Kilmainham and sights further afield.
