Temple Bar is Dublin's Cultural Quarter. First Developed in the 19th century with narrow cobbled streets running close to the banks of the river Liffey, the area is full of character and charm. The streets are pedestrianised and to really appreciate all that Temple Bar has to offer, take time to stroll around. Ideally situated in the heart of the city centre the area is a hive of activity where artists, designers and young entrepreneurs with creative ideas have set up small art galleries, cafes, theatres and colourful shops.

Meeting House Square is a spectacular new open-air performance area located off Essex Street East. It's surrounded by a cluster of innovative cultural centres which are well worth a visit including: the Irish Film Centre, The Ark - a Children's Cultural Centre, the Photography Centre and Gallery of Photography. Performances on the square incorporate theatre and music. The majority of events are free of charge and take place during the summer months.

Print has a strong identity in the area, reasonably priced prints can be purchased from the Graphic Print Studios and the Original Print Gallery.
