Walk Through St Stephen’s Green

St Stephen’s Green is one of the closest attractions to PREMIER SUITES Dublin Leeson Street. This nine hectare public park offers tree lined paths, flower beds, open lawns and an ornamental lake.

It is a good place to begin your day with a walk or take a break between activities. You can sit by the water, bring a coffee or follow the paths around the park.

Families can visit the children’s playground, while history fans can look out for the statues and memorials found throughout the grounds. The park also hosts occasional lunchtime performances during the summer.

St Stephen’s Green sits at the top of Grafton Street, so you can easily continue into the main shopping area once you have finished your walk.

Explore the Iveagh Gardens

Shop and Eat Along Grafton Street

Explore the smaller streets leading away from Grafton Street for local shops, bakeries and places to eat. South William Street, Wicklow Street and Duke Street all have a mix of cafés, pubs and restaurants.

The museum explores Ireland’s literary culture through exhibitions, collections and interactive displays. Its programme covers writers from different periods, giving visitors an introduction to Ireland’s relationship with storytelling.

See a Performance at the National Concert Hall

After your visit, take a walk through Merrion Square or continue towards Trinity College and the city centre.

Visit the Little Museum of Dublin

The Little Museum of Dublin is based in a Georgian townhouse overlooking St Stephen’s Green.
