If you are short of time, the first stop should
be O'Connell Bridge. Why? The city is divided by the Liffey and once you know
its location, then it is easy to get around. The easiest way to get around the
centre to walk. There are many things to do on both sides of the river.
On the North Side of the river, Henry Street is
the place to shop! Try the Jervis Centre and Ilac Centre. When you cross the
O'Connell Bridge to go to the North side of the city centre, you will see a tall
slender metallic object. This is called the Spire. It is located next to the
General Post Office.
