Wander Smithfield, a north Dublin quarter built around a broad cobbled plaza. Take in the old warehouses and newer cultural venues, then stop at a local café before heading on to the nearby Liffey.
Full description
Smithfield is a historic north-inner-city district anchored by a wide, cobbled square that has been redeveloped over recent decades. The plaza hosts markets and events, and the surrounding streets mix old warehouses with newer cafés, restaurants and cultural venues.
The Jameson Distillery Bow St. stands nearby, and the area sits within easy walking distance of the River Liffey and the Four Courts. Its appeal lies in the contrast between old industrial character and modern reuse, which suits solo wanderers interested in architecture and local culture.
