Dublin Docklands

Docklands is Dublin’s revitalized district. This docklands district stretches from Talbot Memorial Bridge to the mouth of the River Liffey. A place not to be missed: Dublin has extensively renovated these former port districts. Today, the Docklands are home to many modern, cultural and tourist attractions. Best explored on foot!

Visit Dublin’s Docklands district

A vast new complex!

Today, Dublin’s Docklands is an important part of the city’s life. This is where you’ll find public buildings, tourist and cultural attractions, as well as comfortable, modern offices and residences.

Among the notable places, we recommend you to discover :

  • the Custom House : The building was constructed in 1791 and now houses the Irish Department of the Environment.
    Famine Memorial: this is a series of outdoor sculptures on the docks. The work pays tribute to the Irish victims of the Great Famine. Gut-wrenching sculptures by Dublin artist Rowan Gillepsie.
  • the Sean O’Casey Bridge: a pedestrian bridge across the Liffey. Named after the Irish writer, the bridge links City Quay and the neighborhood on the south bank of the Liffey with Custom House Quay to the north.
  • Jeanie Johnston Tall Ship:this is a replica of an old three-masted ship from 1847, which brought many Irish emigrants to the United States during the Great Irish Famine. The boat is fully open to visitors, and has been converted into a floating museum. A fascinating place to learn more about the Irish famine and emigration.
  • Samuel Beckett Bridge: this is without doubt Dublin’s most beautiful bridge! The latter links North Wall Quay in the north to Sir John Rogersons Quay in the south. This magnificent cable-stayed bridge is shaped like a harp, the symbol of Ireland! A true architectural marvel of which the people of Dublin are very proud!
    the Royal Canal The Liffey Canal is a great place to take a stroll along the Liffey.
  • Convention Centre Dublin: it’s an ultra-modern conference center! The building’s sloping architecture and atrium make it a symbol of Dublin’s modernity!
  • O2: this is the capital’s concert hall! Capable of accommodating up to 14,500 people, the venue has already welcomed major artists such as U2!
