Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- redecoWarren, MA9,442 contributionsO'Connell Street is a good place to start when visiting Dublin...the street is steeped in history and everywhere are reminders of the struggle for the independence of the Irish people. Note the GPO, the Jim Larkin statue, the Daniel O'Connell Monument, and much more.
Today's visitor will see lots of commercial venues, restaurants, pubs, department stores as well as the historical sites. It's a busy location with tourists, students, and locals going about their daily business. Nearly everything is an easy walk from this location.

We stopped by the arcade, as we both love flea markets, vintage treasures, unique hand crafted items.
The building is beautiful!
A lot of shops were not opened, though we did find Doni Doni … a West African shop filled with gorgeous textiles and beautifully crafted leather accessories. We both purchased bracelets … and we wear them everyday. ❤️❤️❤️
It is one of my favorite souvenirs:)Written 19 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - David DDevon, UK28,177 contributionsFriday 29th July and we walked from the Shelleybanks beach, near the base of the two iconic red and white chimneys and disused power station, along this wall at the mouth of the River Liffey.
It took us forty-five minutes to walk from one end to the other. It is roughly a 4 kilometre walk (just under two and a half miles).
The construction of the wall was completed in 1795 and it was at one time the longest in the world
Roughly half way along the wall we passed the former base of the Half Moon Swimming and Waterpolo Club. Some brave people were braving the windy and cool conditions and swimming in the sea as we walked by here.
From the wall there are the most wonderful panoramic views across Dublin Bay from Howth to Dalkey Island, Bray, Wicklow and beyond. We were also able to see the boats and ferries manoeuvre their way along the river in and out of the Port.
We could also see some notable landmarks such as the Aviva Stadium, Bray Head, Dublin and Wicklow Mountains. We are convinced that we also saw Croke Park in the distance.
At the very end of the Wall is the iconic Poolbeg Lighthouse, the Red Lighthouse a major feature of Dublin Bay.
The massive stones used to construct the wall, which came from the quarries at Dalkey, were a bit uneven in places, so would recommend wearing sturdy footwear.
It was a bit blustery and overcast when we walked along here. It is closed when there are high winds and rough seas
There are signs about the place asking that visitors take their rubbish away with them, sadly not everyone complied.Written 9 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Now the basement is opened and converted to a bar serving food to which we went to this week.
The old historic buildings are very interesting and in the basement there are long tables and benches and a row of tables for two down the middle.
We had fish chowder with a little soda bread, and followed that by Irish Coffees. We enjoyed it and it was lovely to see the building open again.
Staff were enthusiastic and helpful,
It is a good place for lunch when you are up around Christ Church, with walking distance from the city centreWritten 4 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We got a lot of fun information about the city and got really nice recommendations from Colm, our guide, who was absolutely amazing!Written 17 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
