A Day Exploring the Southside
-
Morning
Breakfast in style at Bewley’s Oriental Café then spend the first half of the morning exploring the shops on Grafton Street and in Powerscourt Townhouse and soaking up the atmosphere of the street entertainers. Once the crowds move in, continue down to College Green and walk under the arch into Trinity College to relax in the grounds. On leaving Trinity, head down Dame Street to Temple Bar and enjoy the many shops and galleries here.
For lunch, press on to Leo Burdock’s, the city’s oldest fish-and-chip shop (2 Werburgh St, €). It’s take-away only so make for Christ Church Cathedral and sit and admire its exterior while eating. Then wander inside to view the restored crypt and treasury.
Afternoon
After lunch, retrace your steps to Dublin Castle for a tour of the state apartments and a visit to the Chester Beatty Library. A cup of eastern-flavoured coffee and exotic cake in the café here will set you up for your final stretch of the day. Walk down Dame and Nassau streets to Clare Street and the newly opened Millennium Wing of the National Gallery .
Finally, to unwind (albeit on rather a hard chair), check out an evening concert at St Patrick’s Cathedral .
