Georgian Dublin and the old city: a walk from Henrietta Street to St Stephen's Green

By (Our writers) · Published

✓ Walked by Alberto before publishing · route facts measured

This route follows the worked example in our hidden gems guide: instead of the busy, direct line down O'Connell Street, it keeps the same direction but swaps the main roads for some of the city's most interesting streets. It starts on Henrietta Street, one of Dublin's earliest Georgian streets, and finishes at St Stephen's Green.
