St Stephen&#x27;s Green

The Best Things to Do in Dublin

"Taking a Breather at St Stephen's Green St Stephen's Green is a welcome spot of calm and green set in a Georgian square in the centre of Dublin. At around 20 acres, it's large enough to feel you have escaped the bustle, but not so large that you can't easily return to the fray once you are ready. There are formal manicured lawns and gardens in the middle, a large lake to the north - good for swan-watching - a bandstand and play area, and plenty of benches and other picnic spots. St Stephen's is probably not the sort of place you'd deliberately set out to visit, but chances are good you'll end up there anyway: it's just off Grafton Street (one of the main shopping streets), and near other attractions dotted around what is known as Georgian Dublin, such as Merrion Square and Leinster House (the seat of Irish parliament).

16 Best Things to Do in Dublin | Condé Nast Traveler

"St. Stephen's Green, an exquisitely manicured park in Dublin City Centre , dates back to a time when open space and fresh air were at a premium: Victorian Ireland, 1880. Today, the green lawns and ponds are surrounded by a thick wall of trees, creating a true respite from urban life inside a neat, perfectly ordered rectangular park. It's a fantastic spot to people watch and get a glimpse of daily life for Dublin locals." - Melissa Kravitz Hoeffner

St. Stephen's Green - Park Review | Condé Nast Traveler

"Let’s start big picture. What’s the vibe here? This exquisitely manicured park in Dublin City Centre hails back to a time when open space and fresh air were at a premium: Victorian Ireland, 1880. Today, the green lawns and ponds are surrounded by a thick wall of trees, creating a true respite from urban life inside a perfectly rectangular park. Any standout features or must-sees? Bookworms will want to read near the bust of James Joyce or near the statue of William Butler Yeats, while selfie stick–toting tourists should snag their best spots near the fountains and Fusiliers' Arch. Was it easy to get around? Organized in a neat rectangle with concentric walking paths, St. Stephen's Green is very much Victorian in its order. At 22 acres, the park is expansive but not overwhelming—you'd be hard-pressed to get lost in it. There are plenty of benches, especially near the center. All said and done, what—and who—is this best for? St. Stephen's Green is a fantastic spot to people-watch and soak in a glimpse of daily life for Dublin locals. The park is also free to enter, making it an appealing destination for budget-conscious travelers." - Melissa Kravitz Hoeffner

Stephen's Green in Dublin is a sea of green in the heart of the city. My recent visit was made even more magical by the presence of a swan family with two adorable cygnets. In love and obsessed. Beyond the swans, this green space is definitely worth a visit. It had tons of trails, monuments and gardens to explore.

As we approached St. Stephens Green park from the SouthWest corner and we're greeted by large gates of the entrance of the park which gave it a "Disneyland like" quality. In August there were plenty of flowers, wildflowers, and everything was so lush. This park is fairly large and has plenty of paths to choose your route. There are large ponds, lots of ducks, seagulls, and other birds, a couple swans, and mag-pies. There were a lot of people walking around when we went in the late morning but it never felt too crowded and we managed to find a park bench to sit at while we picked our lunch spot for the day. Foley's was nearby and a great choice for lunch or dinner. I would definitely recommend taking the time to stop make your way over to this side of town even if you only have a few hours. While leaving St. Stephens Green park, you can easily walk over to Dublin's major shopping area, Grafton St.

Our September 2023 Ireland Tour Where's the craic It was 90 on the Isle of Man Plan this adventure at least one year in advance Reserve all Hotels, Ticketed events, and several restaurants from the states One of Dublin's most famous landmarks is St Stephen's Green, a Victorian public park in Dublin City Centre that reopened to the public in 1880. Great to wander in this excellent Green Space

Yelp

St. Stephen's Green, a garden square/public park in Dublin is worth a stroll if you're visiting Dublin for the first time (like I was last week). The highlights for me were the lake, the Yeats memorial/Henry Moore sculpture, the James Joyce bust, and the memorial to the Great Famine. And it's also just a great place to take a stroll, enjoy some fresh air, and take a break from touristing!

David M.

Yelp

A beautiful park in the hub of the south end of Dublin. I missed the photo opportunities as I was taking in the beautiful grounds. So we'll kept and in a way that made it feel like a truly natural habitat. It was a shortcut on a couple of our walking excursions and was an absolutely welcome break from the crowded streets in the area.

Alli C.

Yelp

St. Stephen's Green is a beautiful park close to Temple Bar; lined mostly by pos restaurants and shopping, it's a great way to experience a more 'local' version of Dublin.

Izzy O.

Yelp

Perfect place for a quick morning walk. It's kept up well and you can learn a bit of history on your stroll too

Ann L.

Yelp

We had a nice walk through the park despite it being fairly crowded on a warm, dry, fall afternoon. The flowers were still beautiful in September, and the ducks and swans were fun to watch. It is easy to get turned around as the park is large, with many winding paths, but there are map's positioned around that are very helpful for those who are familiar with the park. There is obviously a lot of history here as well, and signs, monuments and artwork help tell the story of the area.

Andre K.

Yelp

Nice park. We did a walk through as we were headed to town. The park had a relaxed vibe.

David D.

Yelp

No trip to Dublin is complete without a visit to St. Stephen's Green--kind of like a mini Central Park for Dublin. It's in an upscale area of Dublin with multi-million Euro houses and high-end restaurants and close to the famous Dublin shopping and dining district. Allow 2 hours to walk around the park and smell the roses. It's a beautiful park by day that starts to attract a suspect crowd toward dusk. It's the reason they close the park at dark to keep the riff-raff from camping out here and destroying the park. Lot's of places to sit and people watch or read. It's not an end-all, but I would make the time on your trip to see it for a couple of hours.

Georgie M.

Yelp

Since we were staying nearby, we found ourselves walking through St Stephen's several times each day. It's a beautiful park and offers a bit of tranquility. See photos. Granted it's crazier during the lunch hours, 11:30 until 2-ish, as those who work nearby eat their lunch here and socialize. Park benched can be hard to find, but most sit in the green grass. This is Ireland of course, so everything is green and the folks are over the top friendly. LOL

Maurice L.

Yelp

Beautiful park. The trash wasn't overflowing, just lots of birds. The birds didn't bother unless you had food and starting feeding them.

Augie R.

No visit to Dublin is complete without a visit to St. Stephen's Green. It is a wonderful place to stroll, rest for a while, and watch Dubliners and tourists stroll by. (One thing to note is that the park closes before sundown, so don't expect to enjoy much of a sunset or evening visit.) This is an incredibly vibrant park, full of people in almost any weather. People flock to the park to sit and chat. There's not a lot to actually "do" in the park--kids will enjoy the playground, and signs around the park give some sense of Dublin's history--so it's mostly just a place to walk, relax and rest. The entire park can be strolled at a leisurely pace in about 20 or 30 minutes. While much smaller than Central Park, it can sometimes give me the same feeling, with people lingering and city buildings visible around all four edges. (But, unlike the skyscrapers in NYC, here you get glimpses of everything from 19th Century Georgian buildings to 20th Century offices, hotels, and a mall.) It is very convenient to get to, sitting across the street from the south end of Grafton Street.

If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of Dublin, check out this park. We stopped by on our last day in Dublin and I'm so glad we did. St Stephen's Green is a quiet sanctuary away from the bustling shops on Grafton Street. We grabbed coffee and wandered around the park, it's actually fairly large and it probably would have taken us at least an hour to walk through the whole thing. It was November, so we admired the leaves on the ground and enjoyed reading about the history of the Easter Rising. There were tons of birds, ducks, people out walking with their dogs. If I lived in Dublin this is a place I would frequent. I highly recommend visiting if you have the time!

We spent quite a bit of time walking the many paths within St. Stephen's Green during our five-day stay. It started out with just random wanderings - entering at one side and exiting at another - but then it became more specific. At one point we noticed plaques denoting spots of significance within the park. We tried to research the plaques and find a walking map or guide to help us track them all down, but we weren't successful. So, we went back to the random wanderings. It's a lovely, lush park in the middle of the city, bursting with birds and people, with trees and ponds and benches galore. They also have a large number of statues and busts of famous people. We spent some time trying to track down the tributes to the names we recognized, but most of the ones I wanted to see were blocked off - for restoration purposes, I think. One definitely could spend quite a bit of time within the park, lost in thought on a bench, or people-watching...or even bird watching. I was fascinated by the birds I didn't recognize, and by the way they were so unafraid of humans (and hungry for human food, unfortunately). The park is large but feels cozy, and can be soothing even in the coldest weather. It was a nice escape for us, in the city during the holidays, and a bit stressed about travel.

Great playground and open park area. Perfect for families and to picnic. We got coffee and had a little picnic next to the playground. Highly recommend checking it out for the day!

Great place to hangout and people watch. Gorgeous gardens and water features. Felt safe. Lots of people enjoying themselves.

Jacqueline T.

We didn't have much time in Dublin, but we stopped here and it was a very nice park. We brought a picnic lunch with us. Unfortunately there weren't any picnic tables, but we found a bench to enjoy our lunch on. There are ponds, gorgeous trees, pretty flowers, and gazebos. We were there on a beautiful day and it was bustling with people. I definitely think it's worth stopping here to enjoy some time in nature while in Dublin!

Dublin is a bustling town, hectic, noisy, often dirty. But St. Stephen's Green offers a respite from the city, a haven from the madness, a refuge from the hubbub. It's quiet, clean, safe, and peaceful and I highly recommend it if you're visiting Dublin. In a park with a history dating to 1664, you'll lose much of the traffic noise as you walk within, replacing angry engines with happily tweeting birds. Only sirens, and the periodic chimes from the city tram passing along the perimeter, are most recognizable from the confines of St. Stephen's. Even better, intentional efforts have been made to reduce traffic in the area. Intricate pathways penetrate deep into the 22-acre woods and a lake crossed by a picturesque bridge is home to gulls, ducks, and swans. This may just be the quietest place in Dublin!

Bruce K.

Yelp

A lovely green space in the middle of Dublin and then to read about what transpired here recently. Sure, it's peaceful now. But during the Easter Rising of 1916, it turned into a battlefield. One of the signs in the park reads: "After the shocked and bewildered people were cleared from St. Stephens Green Park, the Volunteers under orders from Captain Christopher Poole, set about digging trenches at the four main entrances and at entrances opposite Dawson and Hume Streets. Other side entrances were barricaded with park furniture. "Once sentries had been posted, the Volunteers inside the railings grabbed pick axes and shovels, which had been liberated from the Park Keeper's shed and started digging. The trenches were roughly waist deep." It was quite the battle, with the British having the high ground on the roof of the nearby Sherbourne Hotel.

Ashley F.

Yelp

Lovely park! my friend and I came here to see the massive soldier statue installment that is located closest to the back entrance of the park. This park is great for strolling on a nice day or walking some food off. It has many interlinked paths around ponds with swans and different types of water fowl. They also have benches and gazebos in order to relax and take in the beauty of this very lush and green park! If you want to walk the entire expanse, I would say it could take up to an hour, depending on how far you want to go.

Susan L.

Yelp

We went there yesterday and it's lovely. The very nicest part was the two ponds; they were full of swans, geese and ducks. It's a very peaceful park and very well-maintained.

Adam H.

Yelp

Beautiful little park in the middle of Dublin. We were walking off a meal and drinks and wanted to take a stroll down this little park. It's not huge but very green and filled with ponds and trees. It's a great little park to add some green to the city. It's free, give it a stroll!

Alex M.

Yelp

Lovely place to bring your lunch and eat. Seems like all of Dublin does that when the sun shines. There's a map at the gate, and a pond- with swans and ducks, and if you're lucky, baby swans and ducks. There are statues galore, and comfortable benches. I highly recommend this place as a nice green space to get away from it all.

Wilson L.

Yelp

Great park, nice to walk through as a short cut to get to Grafton St from our hotel. Nice views and easy stroll.

Francine W.

Yelp

Nice park with pretty gardens and walking trails. Peaceful and serene. Close to restaurants and shopping.

Mary C.

Yelp

I think it's the green spaces in a city that reflect the city's values more so than vast museums. This is a lovely park, suitable for all ages with loads to see. Close enough to takeaway food spots to get yourself a picnic lunch and enjoy the sights and sounds. Entrances all have large maps to point out the sights, but even without that, you'll enjoy the beauty of a well-tended garden.

Victoria L.

Yelp

Living nearby we visited this clean, family friendly park at least once a week. Usually on Sunday after brunch. It was close to so many restaurants and the mall. With artist displaying their work on the fences, it was kind of like a cool, outdoor gallery on Sundays. Strolling through the park with the grand fountain, the gorgeous pond, paths, flowers, statues, swans and people directly in the heart of the city center, there was a lovely sense of community. This space seemed to strike a balance between urbanization and nature. All city parks do not successfully accomplish this. So it was very much appreciated, and never went unnoticed by me.

Neluta G.

Yelp

Love this park, located in the heart of Dublin. Once you step in it is quiet and peaceful, it doesn't feel like you are in a fast moving city. The scenery is beautiful and super green, it is Ireland after all. So if you want some piece and quiet this is the park centrally located. Also if there is a sunny day you will see lots of Irish people indulging a glimpse of the sun rays and trying to get a tan at the same time since sun is such a rare event in Ireland.

Anson W.

Yelp

22 acres of tranquility preserved in the middle of a city. I'd recommend coming here in the morning during work hours. At this time, St. Stephen's Green is serene and almost magical. You can hear birds singing in the trees. Enjoy the picturesque gardens, trees and plants that this beautiful and well-maintained place has to offer. A footbridge runs down the middle of a 3-acre lake, home to different types of waterfowl. Footpaths run all around and through the park, and various statues and landmarks are scattered about, with signage explaining their significance. In the late afternoon when people are off work, there are a lot more people and the place feels less like a nature preserve and more like a regular park. Sometimes the absence of people makes all the difference.

Camille C.

Yelp

HOLY BENCHES! This place does not lack in the benches department at all. If you need a place to sit - you won't have an issue at this park. This is one of the bigger parks I've been to - in general. They have random art pieces & statues around the park. They have a central fountain where a majority of the people/benches are. There is a bridge that overlooks a river/stream that goes through the park. Ducks & two swans were there when I visited. I loved how there were multiple pathways/trails through the park - so you can catch a moment to yourself if you really wanted to. The big arch out of the park leads directly to Grafton Street. I really do love this park. Perfect for an afternoon stroll or for a nice lunch in the park.

Elizabeth L.

Yelp

St. Stephen's Green is a beautiful park and located so nicely next to one of the hotels you likely are staying at. It is a bit crowded at times, but the people are so friendly and it is just beautiful. Grab some fish and chips and picnic there or just take a long walk and forget about everything. It is safe, it is so pretty, the locals are lovely, as all locals in Ireland are. Enjoy.

Kathleen D.

Yelp

I'm sorry. I just didn't catch the allure of this garden. I know it's historic, and that's cool, but the actual environment in early September was just...eck. There were people EVERYWHERE. My back was bothering me but I couldn't even find an open bench to sit down for a minute. There were also birds galore. I was praying they wouldn't crap on me. Fortunately, they did not. I could see this park being peaceful at the crack of dawn...and that's probably it. Yes, it's large. Yes, it's crowded. No, it's not peaceful or serene. No, it's not my scene.

Ed U.

Yelp

I am guessing this would be considered Dublin's Central Park, but that would be a US-centric, xenophobically inclined thing to say, wouldn't it? I mean why couldn't Central Park be the Big Apple's St. Stephen's Green? I'm sure a band of leprechauns with their magical shillelaghs and bowls of Lucky Charms are thinking that right now as I write this. Too much? OK. It's a pretty park, all 22 acres of it on an expansive Georgian square which had me picturing James Joyce and Oscar Wilde strolling on the pathways thinking of the next set of prose to write with their quills. The location is central to Dublin's tourist traffic as the heavily commercial Grafton Street pours right into the northwest entrance, and the sleekly efficient Green Line LUAS tram terminates here as well. Once inside the park, there are plenty of benches for a brief respite or enjoy the ducks waddling by (watching them, not eating them) and maybe listening to a busker with genuine talent. Hey, I liked "Once". Dublin is charming enough on its own. After all, it's the home of Guinness, but the park most certainly complements my memory of this greatly underrated city (see photos).

Cyndy K.

Cyndy's Bottom Line: A beautiful and lush, green park. Nice to wonder about this beautiful, green, large park.

Ron R.

Yelp

A park for the people! I can't believe I haven't written a review for good 'ol St. Stephen's Green. Take a stroll on the inside and out, and you'll find plenty of Irish history everywhere you look! For anyone new to Dublin, I suggest entering the park starting at Fusiliers' Arch. A corner entrance adjacent to Grafton Street. This is where the camera fun begins. Other cool features of this park include: ~A statue of Lord Ardilaun (see my review :) ~The Famine Memorial statues & WolfeTone (outside corner) ~Water fountain with the Three Fates ~The duck pond with plenty of ducks and geese ~Iveagh House (outside, next to the Laus station) ~A garden for the blind with scented plants ~Portrait bust of Thomas Kettle and James Joyce ~A statue of Robert Emmet ~The O'Donovan Rossa memorial ~Fountains and flowers near the center ~Plenty of lush green grass everywhere ~A playground for kids ~Square buildings along the outside of the park with fancy colorful doors Personally, I love running along the outside to do a few laps. If I feel the need to take a walk, I'll cruise along the different paths in the inside. The locals may not appreciate this place as much, but I feel this definitely is an attraction out-of-towners can't miss. FYI, the park usually opens around 7:30 am, and closes at dusk. It's well gated, so be aware of what time it is or you might get locked in.

Jeneane B.

Yelp

St Stephen's Green is a beautiful green space in the middle of bustling Dublin. My husband and I were short on time, because we were only in Dublin for the day as part of a cruise itinerary. We had heard how beautiful this place was, so we made it a point to plan part of our time walking through a section of the Green. If we had more time, we would have walked through more of the paths. But what we were able to see in our brief walk through the northwest corner was absolutely breathtaking. If you are short on time, like we were, find a little section of the Green to walk through. Instead of walking alongside, outside the Green, take a few extra minutes to walk through to get to your next destination. You will not be disappointed.

Katlyn D.

Yelp

We loved this park so much we went twice in the two days we were in Dublin! It is a beautiful park. Great scenery and sooo very Green!!! It's a great place to walk through and take in nature, have a picnic or sit and relax and read a good book! Spring in the park is amazing the blooming trees are stunning!

Cynthia B.

Yelp

Lovely Place to Stroll At the top of Grafton Street is St. Stephen's Green, a bucolic area to walk with lots of trees, flowers, ponds, and a restful park-like atmosphere. Restaurants and cafes line the sidewalks so stop in for a bite. We enjoyed the Cliff Townhouse for an elegant meal with superb service.

Marley G.

Yelp

Even though we visited in February when it was cold, blustery, rainy, we had a beautiful day walking through St. Stephen's Green. There were plenty of trees blooming and greenery and even some spring flowers attempting to open up on the sunny day. We sat on the benches and just took in the atmosphere, sitting by the small pond and watching the ducks and geese. Very peaceful and serene. My hubby flew the drone up over the Green and captured some amazing imagery of the whole park. Breathtaking, really. The only negative thing was as we were leaving, we stopped by the pond to watch the ducks and we heard this horrendous noise behind us that sounded like something being dumped into the pond. Sadly, it was a homeless woman who had dropped her pants, lifted her shirt and proceeded to go #1 and #2 right into the pond in front of everyone with no problem doing it. Not exactly what you want to see on vacation...or even if you live here. I felt really bad for her and just moved along. Other than that...it's a peaceful, lovely place to chill out for a bit.

Note: all my recent vacation in Ireland Yelp reviews will have the same 1st paragraph preamble, for just the review itself skip to the 2nd paragraph. On a whirlwind 2 week vacation to Ireland, the girlfriend & I tried to see & experience absolutely as much of this incredible land as we could. We did not accomplish every last activity we wished we could have on our rather ambitious itinerary. Nonetheless, we did discover a land of numerous stunning & magical wonders. We did see a land of unending natural beauty. We did learn of a land with a monumentally long history of trials, tragedies & triumphs. We did get to meet many kind, humorous, warm & generous people. Our vacation to Ireland was just 2 weeks, but that was time enough to know this is a land easy to love & a land to be sorely missed. Back in Dublin for our last day in Ireland, the girlfriend & I were out trying to squeeze in as much of what we missed our last time in town as we could before leaving. After swiftly & elusively snaking our way through the throngs of shoppers & other tourists on Grafton Street, the girlfriend & I entered St. Stephen's Green. This is a lovely park that is, indeed, a sanctuary from all the clamor & commotion just across the street. Once inside, we really had no sense of the surrounding city & the hectic Dublin streets felt a world away. Regardless of its location, St. Stephen's Green would still be a really nice park. Because it is in the center of the action in Dublin, St. Stephen's Green is an especially valuable asset to the city, its people & all those who come here to visit.

Tara M.

Yelp

Love this place. A bit of stillness,green and peacefulness in the middle of the city. Love all the water features,sculptures,huts and flower beds. It has a real mix of things to see. Would love to see more maps located in there so you can spot where you are and what paths to walk.

Petra B.

Yelp

I think St. Stephens Green is the first Dublin park I went into when I first came here - so that surely triggers good memories and feelings. But I also love the variety in the part. The more natural part with the lake and the more english style part with all the flowers and fountains. Lovely to sit down and relax anywhere - and forget that you're in the middle of a buzzing town. And despite the central location there are always parts where hardly anyone is around - if more peace is what you're looking for. Even though I found parks since my first visit that I like even better - St. Stephens Green is always one I enjoy going to too.

Sharon S.

Yelp

An amazing oasis in the middle of our city... This park whatever the season is a pleasure to walk through, it forever changes and who doesn't like to walk by ponds and watch the ducks! During summer this really draws in the crowds, people will lounge here all day. I love to grab a sandwich/drink nearby and get it to take away, then nestle myself on the patch of grass and just enjoy this amazing park. The centre of the park has a large band stand which you can catch some acts during the summer or unofficially there is always someone floating with a guitar who will play and before you know it, people are listening in and really enjoying it. Has many entrances/exits so even I often just cut through the park which is definitely a little peace is an amongst the mayhem of the city streets.

Kristina K.

Yelp

We randomly wondered into this beautiful park while exploring the city of Dublin and it instantly became one of my favorite places in the city. There is simply so much to see and do in this park! Whether your interests lie in beautiful wildlife, artistic displays, historical events, exercise, or etc there is a place for you in this park. My absolute favorite part was simply having a snack by the water. There were birds everywhere! We spent a good half hour sharing our snacks with the birds. Many of the pigeons ate out of my hand and one of them even perched itself upon my partner's shoulder! It was a fairytale-esque occasion like no other. If you are looking for a place to relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of Dublin I certainly recommend giving this park a chance.

Deena S.

Yelp

Loved this place! Even in the crazy cold of February it was a beautiful. It was so much busier than I expected a park to be, I guess? I think it's because it connects several streets and serves as a shortcut. Despite the foot traffic, there were still places that felt secluded enough for a picnic in warmer weather. I really enjoyed feeding the ducks and swans!

Betsy B.

Yelp

This is a nice oasis in the city. When you are strolling inside of it, you feel like you are in the country. There is a lake, a waterfall, stone structures, lots of ducks, at least one swan, gazebos, and some stone structures. There are walking paths and lots of green grass where people have spread a blanket to enjoy relaxing in the sun (when available). There are some nice trees and flowers and it is really a relaxing atmosphere. We watched a duck bringing leaves to make a nest on the side of the lake and saw the swan actually fly a short distance. It's a great place to visit.

Holly M.

Yelp

Everything a park should be! Beautiful park, immaculate landscaping, very clean and even has a cute pond complete with a family of swans. Perfect location in the middle of the city, great place to sit and relax after a long shopping trip down Grafton street ;) Plenty of benches and shade but also lots of grass where you can lay out in the sun. Busy on a sunny day but it's such a big park you won't have a problem finding a place!

Tracy S.

Yelp

Nice park for reading, people watching, learning about the historic statues and such that they have there, but if you're not into those or don't have time for those, and you're not in the area except to see at Stephens green, I'd say you can skip it. Around the perimeter though there was art on display and some of it looked really neat! Not sure if they were for purchase or not, but if you're in the area, take a gander!
