Dublin City Walk

Walking along the River Liffey in Dublin is a mix of the city’s vibrant energy and historic charm. The river, flowing gently through the heart of the city, is lined with a series of iconic bridges, each with its own unique character (see my post earlier)

On one side of the river, you might see the historic buildings of Temple Bar, with its cobbled streets and colorful facades.  As you continue along the quays, you'll pass the Custom House, a grand neoclassical building with its impressive dome. Across the river, the modern financial district contrasts with sleek glass buildings like the Dublin Convention Centre, their contemporary designs standing tall against the skyline. 

Noticeable Landmarks are: The Spire of Dublin (the Monument of Light); The Famine Memorial; Liberty Hall; The Custom House; Jeanie Johnston tall ship; International Financial Services Centre. On O'Connell street after cross the O'Connell bridge: The O'Connell Monument, The Spire of Dublin (also know as the Monument of Light); Dublin Portal and James Joyce Statue.  In the morning, I also saw homeless people's tents set up along parts of the river.
