About Dame Street
Dame Street is a central Dublin city-centre locality in the D02 area, stretching through the historic south inner city between College Green and Christchurch. It is an intensely urban, mixed-use area, with offices, apartments, shops, cafés, pubs and major civic and cultural buildings close together. Residents have many everyday services within walking distance, while Grafton Street, South City Centre and Temple Bar provide an extensive choice of shopping, restaurants and nightlife. The area is well placed for education, with Trinity College Dublin nearby and several schools and language colleges within the wider central area. Public transport is plentiful, with frequent Dublin Bus services, nearby Luas stops and easy access to Tara Street and Pearse railway stations. Walking and cycling are often practical for local journeys, although the streets can be busy with visitors, commuters and evening activity. Notable landmarks include Dublin Castle, City Hall, Christ Church Cathedral and the historic Bank of Ireland building at College Green.
