The 12 districts we cover in and around Dublin City
Every district we cover in and around Dublin City, with what it costs and how many hotels we track in it.
Dublin’s most talked-about quarter: cobbled lanes, packed pubs and the Liffey on your doorstep, best booked with eyes open.
Dublin’s busiest shopping street, with Trinity College, St Stephen’s Green and good hotels within a five-minute walk.
Dublin’s widest, busiest street: grand monuments, department stores and the quickest transport links to everywhere else in the city.
A leafy Georgian park ringed by shopping streets, galleries and calm city-centre hotels — Dublin at its most walkable.
Stay beside Trinity College, where the medieval core, Grafton Street and the Liffey all sit within a short walk.
Dublin’s old market quarter, where medieval lanes, St Patrick’s Cathedral and a working distillery sit beside new cafés.
A wide old market square on the north bank of the Liffey, with whiskey heritage, a filmhouse and real neighbours rather than tour crowds.
Grand 18th-century squares, red-brick townhouses and a calm, grown-up base minutes from Grafton Street.
A lived-in southside neighbourhood with Victorian terraces, a busy main street and easy access to the city centre.
A low-rise southside village with a strong restaurant scene, good buses to the centre and a calmer pace than the city core.
Leafy, low-rise and quietly wealthy, Ballsbridge puts you near the Aviva and the RDS without the city-centre noise.
Dublin’s newly built riverside quarter, where glass offices, the Liffey boardwalk and the docklands rail links put the modern city on your doorstep.
