Visit the Irish Film Centre and take in an art house movie or to the Gallery of Photography. For cultural history, go and see Isolde's Tower, not the pub of the same name but the nearby remains of an ancient tower that was once part of the old city walls, and pay a visit to Dublinia, a multimedia exhibition of mediaeval Dublin that finishes with one of the most striking views in the city.

Night Time:  After dark Temple Bar is all about eating, drinking and having fun. We have put together a list of our favourite pubs and clubs to visit. Check out the Temple Bar Gallery for art exhibitions and The Music Centre for gigs. The Project established itself as Dublin's most avant-garde theatre company. It's now re-housed in a new building on the original site. Among those who built their early reputations at The Project are Jim Sheridan, Oscar-winning director of My Left Foot and In America, Liam Neeson and Gabriel Byrne.
