It is a useful place to begin or finish a day in the city. You can take a morning walk, stop for coffee nearby or sit on the grass when the weather allows. Families can take a break between attractions, while solo travellers can find a quieter place away from the surrounding streets.

The park also places you close to Grafton Street and several cultural attractions. The Museum of Literature Ireland is located on the south side of St Stephen’s Green, making it easy to combine time outdoors with an insight into Ireland’s writing and literary history.

Visit the Iveagh Gardens

The Iveagh Gardens offer another outdoor space close to PREMIER SUITES Dublin Leeson Street. They are tucked behind the Georgian streets near the National Concert Hall and often feel quieter than St Stephen’s Green.

The gardens include lawns, rose beds, a yew maze and a waterfall feature made with stone from across Ireland. They are a good choice for a relaxed walk, a quiet break or a picnic during your stay.

You can visit the gardens before a performance at the National Concert Hall or include them as part of a longer walk around Dublin 2. Their location makes them easy to add to your plans without taking a full day away from other attractions.

Experience Dublin’s Culture and History

Leeson Street places you near several of Dublin’s main cultural areas.

The National Concert Hall is close by and hosts concerts, performances and events throughout the year. The Museum of Literature Ireland offers exhibitions linked to Ireland’s writers and literary culture. You can also continue towards Merrion Square, the National Gallery of Ireland and the National Museum of Ireland.

Trinity College and College Green can be reached by continuing through the Grafton Street area. From there, you can cross the River Liffey or walk towards Dublin Castle, Christ Church Cathedral and St Patrick’s Cathedral.

You do not need to fit every landmark into one day. Staying in a central location allows you to plan shorter outings and return to your apartment between activities.

Discover Dublin’s Food Scene

Dublin’s food scene extends well beyond traditional pub meals. Around Leeson Street, Baggot Street and the Grafton Quarter, you will find cafés, restaurants, pubs and casual places to eat.

You can begin with breakfast or coffee near your apartment before walking into the city. Grafton Street and the surrounding lanes offer a mix of Irish food, international restaurants, bakeries and cafés. Nearby streets such as Drury Street are also known for their range of restaurants and independent businesses.

For a well known Dublin café experience, you can stop at Bewley’s on Grafton Street. You can also explore the smaller streets around South William Street, George’s Street and Dame Lane for drinks or dinner.

Leeson Street itself and the neighbouring Georgian areas have plenty of places for a quieter meal. This gives you options close to your apartment as well as access to the busier city centre dining areas.

Shop Around Grafton Street

Grafton Street is one of Dublin’s main shopping areas and is within easy reach of PREMIER SUITES Dublin Leeson Street.

You can browse department stores, Irish brands, fashion shops and gift stores. Street performers are also a regular part of the Grafton Street experience, adding music and activity throughout the day.

Stephen’s Green Shopping Centre sits at the south end of Grafton Street. George’s Street Arcade is also nearby and offers smaller shops, stalls, food and independent businesses inside a Victorian market building.

Staying nearby means you can return to your apartment with your shopping before heading back out for dinner, a show or an evening drink.

Enjoy More Space During Your Dublin Stay

After a full day exploring Dublin, having more than one room can make a difference.

PREMIER SUITES Dublin Leeson Street offers self catering accommodation with the privacy and comfort of an apartment. Guests can choose from one bedroom and two bedroom apartments, along with larger accommodation options.

Your serviced apartment gives you space to relax, eat and plan your next day without spending the entire evening in one hotel room. You can prepare breakfast before heading out, keep drinks and snacks in your apartment or enjoy a quiet evening meal after a busy day.

This flexibility suits couples, families, friends and solo travellers. It can be particularly useful during a longer Dublin visit, as you have more room for your belongings and can follow your normal routine.

Complimentary WiFi, weekly housekeeping, luggage storage and reception support add to the convenience of your stay. Parking is also available for an added charge and should be booked in advance.

Tips for Making the Most of Dublin From Leeson Street

A little planning can help you fit more into your visit without making each day feel rushed.

Group Nearby Attractions Together

Visit St Stephen’s Green, Grafton Street, Trinity College and the National Gallery during the same part of your trip. They are all located around the south city centre.

Leave Time for Walking

Some of the best parts of Dublin are found between the main attractions. Give yourself time to explore side streets, Georgian squares and smaller shopping areas.

Book Major Attractions in Advance

Popular museums, tours and evening performances can fill up. Check availability before you arrive, especially during weekends and busy event periods.

Use Your Apartment Kitchen

You do not need to eat every meal out. Prepare breakfast or a light lunch in your apartment, then choose one local restaurant or pub to enjoy later.

Take a Break During the Afternoon

Return to your apartment after sightseeing, put your shopping away and rest before heading out again. A central base makes this much easier.

Explore Beyond Temple Bar

Temple Bar is worth seeing, but Dublin has plenty of other areas for food, music and drinks. Spend time around Camden Street, Baggot Street, George’s Street and the Creative Quarter too.
