The banks’ landmark

Dame Street is home to most of Dublin’s banks, including AIB, Ulster Bank and the Central Bank of Ireland, making it the equivalent of a real business district.

The street is often teeming with employees in suits and ties, attaché cases in hand, as well as Dubliners strolling along Grafton Street, a popular shopping street for locals.

Young people also stroll to catch up with Trinity College, or grab a bite to eat on Grafton Street.

Dame Street is particularly busy, thanks to its proximity to Trinity College, the city’s university. A meeting place for young people, it’s also a must for tourists discovering the city. You can go inside, visit the Old Library and discover the Book of Kells, a medieval manuscript adorned with exceptional calligraphy and illumination.

Dame Street is also a 10-minute walk from OConnell Street, the city’s main thoroughfare. So it’s easy to find something to eat, drink or store.
