About Parnell Square
Parnell Square is a central Dublin neighbourhood in D01, arranged around the formal garden of Parnell Square North and closely connected with O’Connell Street, Henry Street, Dorset Street, Capel Street, Broadstone and Smithfield. It has a distinctly urban, historic character, combining Georgian streets and cultural institutions with busy city-centre retail, offices, apartments and student accommodation. Residents are within easy walking distance of shopping on Henry Street and O’Connell Street, while Capel Street and the surrounding city centre provide a broad choice of cafés, restaurants, traditional pubs and late venues. The area is particularly strong for culture, with the Hugh Lane Gallery, the Gate Theatre and the Dublin Writers Museum among its best-known landmarks. Several schools and third-level institutions are nearby, and the central location makes commuting practical by bus, Luas from nearby stops and rail from Connolly Station. Green space is limited within the immediate streets, although the square itself offers a pleasant landscaped setting and larger parks are accessible elsewhere in the city centre. Everyday shopping is available locally at places including Parnell Centre and EuroGiant, with extensive retail and services immediately south towards Henry Street.
