City Centre

In a lot of my posts I talk about City Centre.  I thought it would be very helpful to include a map, so that everyone can visualize what my life here is like.

1. O'Connell Street Area: This street crosses over the River Liffey, and runs perpendicular to the Temple Bar and Grafton Street Area.  O'Connell Street has a lot of good pubs and shops, and a lot of side streets that branch off of it.
2. Temple Bar:  The Temple Bar area is lined with many many pubs and restaurants. Its kinda like Chippewa in Buffalo!
3. Grafton Street Area:  Where we do much of our shopping.  It is also convenient to the Bus we take most.
4. Merrion Square Area: A lot of the Georgian style rows of houses pictures that I took on the Dublin tour were in this area.  Also this area is where a lot of the museums and government buildings that we took pictures of was (I think.)
5. Trinity College Area: Mainly known to me as where we take the bus home.
6. St. Stephen's Green Area: Where the park and shopping center are.

We take Bus 39A most of the time.  It drives us from campus into City Centre.  We get off closest to St. Stephen's Green, but it is very easy to walk to Grafton Street and Trinity College Area from there.  It also is not that long of a walk up O'Connell Street.  Although the map looks big, walking around City Centre once you get there is pretty easy, as long as it is not too cold.

A lot of the main streets we walk on (in the shopping centered areas) are closed to vehicles and are wide cobblestone.  

I hope you enjoyed this visual!
