Iveagh Gardens are located in the heart of Dublin. Although less well known, they were designed in 1865 by Ninian Niven. Halfway between French and English gardens, Iveagh Gardens is a skilful blend of impeccable lawns, fountains, waterfalls and beautiful flowerbeds!

The gardens of Iveagh are a treasure trove, which you can discover on a short stroll. Among the local sights, we recommend exploring the boxwood labyrinth and its sundial, as well as the magnificent waterfall with its exotic ferns.
You can also admire particularly rare species of flowers, such as roses… The garden seems lost and isolated from the rest of the world: it’s hard to believe that Dublin is all around!
Every year, Iveagh Gardens hosts the Taste of Dublin, a festival dedicated to Dublin gastronomy… It’s the perfect place to enjoy a delicious meal!
All in all, it’s a great park where you can enjoy nature and the peace and quiet of the surrounding area!
