Stop 1: St Stephen’s Green
We’ll start at the main entrance to St Stephen’s Green facing
Grafton Street & St Stephen’s Green Shopping Centre. Standing
in front of The Fusiliers Arch you’ve got a view along Grafton
Street straight ahead and on the left you’ve got the Stephen’s
Green Shopping Centre.

5
Stop 2: Phil Lynott
Statue – Harry Street
Our next stop will be Harry Street, your
second left as you head down Grafton
Street, where we’ll see a tribute to one
of Ireland’s most loved musicians.
Stop 3:
Bewley’s –
Grafton Street
Next stop is Bewley’s Café –
keep heading down Grafton
Street and it’ll be on your left.

6
Stop 4: Molly
Malone Statue
Walk all the way down Grafton Street,
cross the road and stop at the Molly
Malone Statue.

7
Stop 5: Wall of Fame –
Corner Temple Lane South
& Cecilia Street
Temple bar: To get to our next stop, you’ll walk
down the road you’re on keeping Trinity on your right.
The road will curve around to the left and you’ll find
yourself on Dame Street. Continue down Dame Street
until you see The Mercantile pub and hotel on the left,
then cross over onto the right hand side of the road
at the next set of traffic lights. Slightly to the right
you’ll see temple lane south, head down there until
you come to the point where that street meets Cecilia
Street and we’ll continue.

8
Stop 6: Rory Gallagher Corner –
Meeting House Square, Temple Bar
Now head back up Temple lane south, taking the right onto curved
lane past the Button Factory. Go through the small arch way ahead
and down the steps onto Meeting House Square. This area hosts a
great food market on Saturdays, and also transforms into an outdoor
cinema and venue. Veer right and you will exit the square past the
National Photographic Archive. Now look up, you’ll see a bronze guitar.

9
Stop 7: The Merchant’s Arch &
The Ha’penny Bridge
You’re now on Temple Bar street. Face away from the guitar walk down the street, taking
the left onto East Essex Street. You’ll find yourself outside The Project Arts Centre which has
played a key role in the Irish Arts scene. Many actors and artists like U2 have exhibited or
performed here. Speaking of U2, and it’s difficult not to in their home down, opposite to you
right now is the rear entrance to the 5 star Clarence Hotel which is owned by none other than
Bono & The Edge.
To get to our last stop turn right and walk back along Temple Bar, passing the Rory Gallagher
corner where you were just a moment ago until you reach Temple Bar Square. Stop. Breathe it
in. Note the pubs here, they’ll be good places to hear traditional music later. Note the square
– it’s a good spot for buskers and markets. Another thing to flag for later – if you were to
continue walking straight, past the square, you’d find yourself on Fleet street, and if you were
to continue down that street, on the left you’d find the Irish edition of the Hard Rock Café. as
you imagine it’s also home to a load of rock memorabilia and it hosts gigs. For the moment,
though take the next left after the quays pub, and continue on through Merchant Arch inside
the Arch you’ll see a plaque commemorating our hero from earlier, Phil Lynott.
Now look through the arch, and walk through it onto the quays. This is the Ha’penny Bridge.
