Dublin - Docklands & the Grand Canal
Although much of the Docklands development that transformed the eastern end of the Liffey towards Dublin Port is given over to office and apartment blocks, there are parts that are worth exploring at ground level.
- visit Jeanie Johnston, a working replica of a 19th-century ‘coffin’ ship, as the barques transporting emigrants during the Famine were known
- contemplate the Famine while walking gently among Rowan Gillespie’s thought-provoking famine memorial bronze statues
- attend a gig at spectacular Bord Gáis Energy Theatre designed by Daniel Libeskind
Coverage includes: Neighbourhood Top Five, Local Life, Getting There & Away, Sights, Eating, Drinking & Nightlife, Entertainment, Shopping and Activities.
You can pick and choose from complete guides and individual chapters, and download them to any device you like.
