Dublin - Grafton Street & St Stephen's Green (PDF Chapter)

This is the Grafton Street & St Stephen’s Green chapter from Lonely Planet’s Dublin guidebook.

Grafton St and its surrounding precinct are a flexible feast of activities and sights, but it’ll take you two days to even begin to do them justice – and much longer to get to the heart of this part of the city.
