A lovely haven in the centre of Dublin and so well maintained. Ideal place to while away an hour or so just off the main shopping area More

I love to pop into the Garden for a stroll or just sit in the sun. Great location and quiet at the weekends. During the week, if the weather is nice, it's very busy with the mass exits from the local offices. More

Just two blocks south from the much more well-known St Stephen's Green, Iveagh features on of the great fountains in Europe. Take the time to find this little known garden and bask in the quiet beauty. More
