A coffee and gardens walk: George's Street Arcade to the Iveagh Gardens

By (Our writers) · Published

✓ Walked by Alberto before publishing · route facts measured

A short walk that puts our coffee walk advice into practice: start in the Victorian covered market of George's Street Arcade, pick up a coffee on South William Street and finish somewhere green to drink it, in the quiet Iveagh Gardens, tucked behind the buildings south of St Stephen's Green.
