 Could do with a good scrub ? by sourbugger Sunlight chambers (now used by Solicitors of the writing on paper variety) were designed as Dublin offices for Lever Brothers (who produce all the soap and washing powders), by the architect Edward Ould who also designed Port Sunlight (hence the link in the name, although it was also the name of a brand of soap they sold.) It is built in a romantic Italianate style with its wide overhanging eaves and arcaded upper floors, but the most unusual architectural features is two multicoloured terracotta friezes depicting the history of hygiene. They were recently restored and now look quite stunning. The Dublin intelligensia never really took to the place, as a foreighn architect was used, and it is unlike any other Dublin Building, but that's their problem - not yours. Found facing the river Liffey at Parliment street. Leave a Comment

 art sellers by hevbell I'm not sure if this just takes place on a Sunday since I didn't notice it when I returned the next day, but the pavement around St Stephens Green was lined with paintings for sale. It reminded me of Bayswater Road in London Leave a Comment

The Anglers Rest is an other old pub that has been around a long time. The famous Michael Collins would meet his spies in this pub. It was also the main road on which Oliver Cromwell's army marched in 1641. The food is delicious and the pub specializes in sea food. Traditional music most weekends. You can sit outside and listen to the River Liffey flow by. Its in an area called the Strawberry Beds, famous at one stage for the strawberry it produced. Award winning seafood bar and restaurant, lunch is served all day and if the weather is good you can sit outside the mediterranean style beer garden... Traditional music sessions take place from 5 to 7pm. Leave a Comment

by acemj Throughout Dublin city there are various spots to escape the crowds. This photos is of the grounds of Saint Peter's Cathedral. St. Stephen's Green and Merrion Square are also good bets as are the grounds of Trinity College. You could venture out a little farther and head for Phoenix Park as well, which is the largest enclosed urban park in Europe. Leave a Comment

by LolaSanFrancisco "Bad Bob's country and western club, where we learn that the Irish love country music in general and Garth Brooks in particular. Club Lapello, now a lap-dancing joint, which used to be called the Underground when the Cranberries, under the name They Do It With Mirrors, played their first show to 12 people. Windmill Lane Studios. Kate Bush, the Chieftains, AC/DC, the Rolling Stones, Def Leppard, and the Pogues have all worked here, but the two solid city blocks of colorful graffiti comprise a shrine to Dublin's prodigal sons in U2, who recorded their first three albums - ``Boy,'' ``October,'' and ``War'' - in this quiet warehouse district.

 River Bank Prom by lolitajane There's this nice prom along both sides of the River Liffey. There are many benches to sit down & chill out and sculptures having to do with Dublin's culture. This pic was taken on our way to The Point Depot. Leave a Comment

 The Massys Woods by Krumel The Massys Woods are in the same area as the Hellfire Club. You can use the same carpark, cross the road and go some 100 metres back down the road. The Massys Woods are a lot older than the forest around the Hellfire Club, and you can follow the signposted Nature Trail (around 2 -3 km) with some weird and wonderful trees along the way like Giant Sequoias, oaks, yews, limes and red cedars among others. When I went there the first time the day was a little bit foggy and especially along the stream it looked like an enchanted forest with mossy stones in the water and some overgrown ruins.
