Dublin's most logical walk follows nature's course - simply along the banks of the River Liffey. You will simply follow the course of the River Liffey through the city, from the resurrected Dublin Docklands to the Phoenix Park.

The most logical place to start this walk is in the Docklands, a run-dosn area that has been undergoing extensive renovations. Head for the offices of the Dublin Docklands Development Authority (DDDA) between the International Financial Services Centre (IFSC) and Jurys Hotel. Then step onto the pedestrian bridge, officially the Sean O'Casey Bridge, and take a good look around - to the east you can see the harbor and the uninspiring Eastlink toll bridge, nearby the tall ship "Jeanny Johnston" and a replica Viking ship are normally berthed. South of the bridge is a memorial to merchant mariners killed during the "Emergency" 1939 to 1945. Nearby you will also find "The Linesman", a life-like bronze of a worker.

Turn westwards and you will come to a modern road bridge - the Matt Talbot Memorial Bridge. Cross the bridge and have a look at the haunting Famine Group just to the right, the continue westwards, passing Customs House.

You are now coming towards O'Connell Bridge with O´Connel Street to your right. This is the center of Dublin.
