If you’re passing by Temple Bar, we recommend you take the Merchant’s Arch street. This is one of the city’s historic districts, recognizable by its covered arch, brick walls and local shops. A unique place, considered the HQ for bargain hunters and shopping enthusiasts.

If you love old streets steeped in history, then we recommend you take the Merchant’s Arch to Temple Bar. Easy to find, it starts from the Liffey (on Wellington Quay), and winds its way down towards Temple Bar.
At its entrance is the legendary Merchant’s Arch Pub, a local Irish pub known for its architecturally striking building. A historic building, home to a cosy, retro Irish pub that surfs on tradition and authenticity. (A must for fans of grand, traditional Irish pubs).
Even though the street is quite short, it’s still very expensive for Dubliners. The district is strongly influenced by the Georgian style. A typical Dublin style, with red brick and large cobblestones… This street alone is evocative of the Irish capital’s cultural identity: all the hallmarks of Dublin can be found here. Welcoming stalls, local Irish pubs, old stones and a street that’s extremely busy despite its narrowness.
A street on a human scale, often teeming with people, it’s often the haunt of shopaholics, local craftsmen, and confidential corners where it’s good to drink a cup of tea or coffee in the warmth, sheltered from a rainy spell.
Don’t hesitate to take a look. The street then takes you right into the heart of the Temple Bar district, with its pubs and restaurants.
