Staying at PREMIER SUITES Dublin Leeson Street puts you right in the middle of things — close enough to explore, far enough to relax. Whether you’re in town for business or a city break, there’s no shortage of things to do near your serviced apartment. Here’s a guide to help you make the most of your time.
1. St Stephen’s Green – 10-minute walk
Take a break in one of Dublin’s best-known parks. St Stephen’s Green is ideal for a quick walk, a morning coffee on a bench, or a people-watching spot before heading into town. The Victorian layout, duck ponds, and sculptures give it a quiet charm — and it’s free.
2. National Museum of Ireland – Archaeology
Just across from the Green, this museum is home to Ireland’s best-known ancient treasures — bog bodies, the Tara Brooch, and Celtic gold. Entry is free, and it’s easy to browse at your own pace. A great indoor pick for wet days.
3. Grafton Street and Creative Quarter – 15-minute walk
Ireland’s most famous shopping street is close by. Grafton Street is home to Brown Thomas, independent boutiques, street performers, and high-end cafés. Just around the corner is the Creative Quarter — think George’s Street Arcade, Powerscourt Centre, and South William Street for vintage shops, craft coffee, and weekend buzz.
4. Iveagh Gardens – Hidden Gem Nearby
Often missed by tourists, Iveagh Gardens sits just behind the National Concert Hall. It’s quieter than St Stephen’s Green, with fountains, rose gardens, and shaded paths. Pack lunch and relax here between meetings or sightseeing.
5. The Little Museum of Dublin
On the north side of St Stephen’s Green, this museum offers a snapshot of Dublin life over the past century. Think U2, old newspapers, political posters, and quirky objects. Guided tours are short and entertaining, and the museum is based in a Georgian townhouse.
6. National Concert Hall – 5-minute walk
Love live music? Check what’s on at the National Concert Hall. From classical to contemporary acts, there’s usually something interesting happening midweek. The venue is just around the corner from your accommodation.
7. Canal Walks and Grand Canal
Take a short walk south from Leeson Street and you’ll reach the Grand Canal. Walk the towpath or sit by the water with a takeaway coffee. The path runs east toward Grand Canal Dock or west toward Portobello — both scenic options with cafés and parks along the way.
8. MoLI – Museum of Literature Ireland
Located in Newman House on St Stephen’s Green, MoLI offers a modern take on Irish literature. With digital exhibitions, first editions, and beautiful gardens, it’s worth a visit. It also has a great café called The Commons.
