  • Morning

    For an unusual breakfast head for the Winding Stair Bookshop café, then browse its wonderful second-hand stock. Next, aim for O’Connell Street and the GPO, where you can post your cards and view the historic bullet marks, and up to the Gate Theatre to book tickets for the evening’s performance.

    Be at the Hugh Lane Municipal Gallery of Modern Art by 10am to have time to view the collection, then walk down to the Dublin Writers’ Museum. Have lunch in the café before enjoying the literary artifacts. As you leave the museum, go downstairs to Chapter One and book a table for dinner.

    Afternoon

    After lunch, walk around the corner to the James Joyce Cultural Centre, then retrace your steps to the west side of Parnell Square and the Rotunda Hospital to have a look at the Baroque chapel.

    For a bit of retail therapy, head for Henry Street , one of the city’s main shopping areas. Continue down St Mary’s Lane and up Bow Street to the Old Jameson Distillery for a tour and tot of whiskey.

    Walk along the river past the floodlit Custom House to enjoy a civilized pre-theatre drink at The Gresham hotel.
