Stroll through Portobello, a canal-side neighbourhood on Dublin's south side. Walk the towpath past painted terraces, then duck into an independent café or pub for a laid-back break.
Full description
Portobello lies along the Grand Canal on the south side of Dublin, a short walk from the city centre. Brick terraces, painted doors and canal-side benches give the streets a photogenic, village-like feel, and a cluster of independent cafés, restaurants and pubs draws a young, creative crowd.
The pace is slow and the area is compact, making it easy to combine a canal walk with a coffee stop or an early evening drink. Couples and photographers will find plenty of quiet corners to linger in.
