Temple Bar
Dublin's Cultural Quarter
Temple Bar is in the heart of Dublin City and is a shopping, dining, entertainment and exploring feast for the senses. On a typical Irish morning, Temple Bar wakes up to the smell of steaming espresso, the clatter of kegs of Guinness rolling off delivery trucks and rainwater running between the cobblestones and setts down to the Liffey.
The shop doors and windows swing open to the most colourful streets in Dublin. With public spaces, pedestrian only areas and local open air shops, services and artisans that just don't exist anywhere but here, it's easy to see why Temple bar is the most vibrant and energetic part of Dublin
Known as Dublin's Cultural Quarter, Temple Bar boasts a large selection of cultural centres and galleries. There is accommodation to suit all budgets, restaurants and cafes offering food from all around the world, and late night bars and traditional Irish pubs, ensuring that temple bar has something to suit every style and taste.

Watch out for Street Art!
Invoke Street Art is an exciting new public art project which offers a range of benefits and opportunities for enhancing the urban environment, increasing the use and enjoyment of public space and building social cohesion through art.
The project takes an existing council owned asset, which in many cases are heavily vandalized with graffiti and uses these assets as a platform for original, imaginative artwork. The assets in questions are traffic signal boxes. These traffic signal boxes, designed to go unnoticed will now become platforms for original, imaginative artwork.
Artists have already been slelected and the chosen artworks will be unveiled very soon. So watch out for street art!
