What makes this spot special

your cousin's local knowledge
Dublin City - Stephen's Green

The Stephen's Green branch is in the shopping centre at the top of Grafton Street, right in the heart of Dublin's south side. If you are staying near Temple Bar, Trinity College, or the Georgian squares, this is the most central pickup in the city.

The Guinness Storehouse is a twenty-minute walk or a five-minute drive. Phoenix Park, one of the largest enclosed parks in any European capital, is fifteen minutes by car. When you are ready to leave Dublin, the M50 is accessible from several south-city routes.

This branch is ideal for visitors who want to do Dublin properly before picking up a car. You will not need a car in central Dublin, and you should not have one: the streets are narrow and parking is expensive.

Where exactly is the Stephen's Green branch?
The branch is in the St Stephen's Green Shopping Centre, ground floor. The entrance is on the west side of the green, at the top of Grafton Street. It is as central as it gets in Dublin.
Do I need a car in Dublin city centre?
No. Dublin's centre is compact and walkable. Buses and the Luas tram cover the rest. We recommend exploring on foot and picking up the car only when you are leaving the city.
What are the must-see attractions near Stephen's Green?
Trinity College and the Book of Kells (10 min walk), the National Gallery (5 min), Merrion Square (5 min), Grafton Street (right outside), and the Little Museum of Dublin (across the green).
Is parking expensive in Dublin?
Yes. City-centre parking is typically 3-4 euros per hour. Multi-storey car parks charge 15-25 euros per day. This is one reason we recommend picking up the car only when you are ready to leave Dublin.
Which direction should I drive from Dublin?
West to Galway (2.5 hrs), south to Wicklow and the coast (1 hr), southwest to Kilkenny (1.5 hrs), or north to the Boyne Valley (1 hr). The choice depends on your itinerary, but all major routes start from the M50 ring road.
