How to spend a day in Dublin’s coolest neighbourhood, the Liberties

Tourism Ireland

Our microguides series is inspired by the slow travel movement, encouraging travellers to relax their pace and take a deep dive into one particular neighbourhood in a well-loved city. Rather than a whirlwind itinerary which aims to hit up every must-see attraction, these compact, close-up guides encourage you to zone in, take your time and truly explore like a local.

Back in the day, visitors to Dublin only passed through the Liberties on their way to the Guinness Storehouse. But over the past few years, this neighbourhood has earned its stripes as one of the coolest districts in the city. This is a place where you can walk by the remains of Dublin’s medieval city walls, then turn a corner and find yourself in a tiny shop selling vintage lingerie.
