  • 1. Dublinia

    Entered via Christ Church Cathedral, this exhibition uses audio-visuals to recreate medieval Dublin.

  • 2. Ha’Penny Bridge

    Built in 1816 to link the north and south sides of the Liffey, a halfpenny toll was once charged to cross it.

  • 3. Government Buildings

    Originally the Royal College of Science, these impressive buildings were quickly taken over by the government after independence in 1922.

  • 4. Mansion House

    Designed in 1710 for aristocrat Joshua Dawson, this has been the residence of the city’s Lord Mayor since 1715.

  • 5. Bank of Ireland

    Dublin’s first Palladian-style building, built for the Irish Parliament in 1739, is beautifully floodlit at night.

  • 6. Natural History Museum

    Stuffed animals and skeletons illustrate the natural world through the ages.

  • 7. Leinster House

    This 18th-century home to the parliamentary chambers has two façades designed to reflect their views, the townhouse façade facing Kildare Street and the country house side looking on to Merrion Square.

  • 8. Merrion Square

    One of the largest and grandest of Dublin’s Georgian squares, lined with stately buildings. Oscar Wilde is one of many illustrious past residents of the square.

  • 9. Iveagh Gardens

    These little-known gardens are a lovely place to relax beside the rose bushes.

  • 10. Shaw’s Birthplace

    The family home of playwright George Bernard Shaw, where he lived until the age of 20, gives a great insight into Victorian domestic life.
